Is not being ready the staple of Pelini Coaching?

[BigRedFred]

In order to stop being a "big play" team, I think all backs and receivers should be instructed to fall down after gaining 10 yards.

For those touting Oregon as the only team to play perfect, here it is again...

 

Oregon: week 2 tennessee tied at half 14 all ...tennessee is 3-6

week 4 is 4-5 arizona state...oregon leads at half 28-24 ends up winning by 11 but scores nothing in the 4th

week 5 lets stanford jump out 21-3 in the first quarter

week 6 leads by 1 after first quarter against 1 win washington state

week 9 washington without their starting qb cuts the lead to 5 in the 3rd quarter...oregon did not score a point in the 1st quarter

I want to first say that I am extremely glad that we have the coaching staff that we do and I hope they are here for a long time.

 

I also believe that husker_99 is on to something. I don't claim to be an expert or an insider, but I do have an opinion.

 

I think Bo and the staff are flat out getting out coached right now. They are surviving on Big Offensive plays and those alone are hiding the problems with the rest of team. I think they are getting beat by special teams, field position, penalties, turnovers and an inability to adjust. Players drop passes and are responsible for penalties. It is the coaches responsibility to determine if these players are hurting their team.

 

Special Teams

-Kickoff team is suspect. The only thing that doesn't make everyone hold their breath is that Adi puts in through a good chunk of the time.

-Punt Return. Not only can they consistently not field a punt, they get very little yardage when they do happen to get their hand on it. It took half a year to remove Niles from punt return. Obviously dropped passes were huge against Texas, but punt return absolutely killed the Huskers as well. The Rugby punted 3 times before adjustments were made.

-Punting. We have a great punter. We give up a lot of yards on punt returns. Watch how many huskers are around the ball when the punt it caught vs when we get the ball.

-Punt and kick off teams have been a big factor in the horrible field position the huskers have battled in close games.

 

Offense

-Dependent on big plays. K-State & Missouri. Watch the long runs....backs and qb's aren't even touched. Kyler Reed has been a big play receiver.

-Penalties and drops at the worst times.

-With the exception of the big plays noted earlier, don't appear to making adjustments to what is working. (Using Cody Green to run read option over and over again, going away from Rex running the offense, not throwing on first down against Texas).

-Takes too long to get a play in.

-At times they look unprepared. Can't run a two minute offense.

 

Defense

-Players with a knee on the ground when the ball is snapped.

-No pass rush.

-Blitz doesn't seem to be effective.

-Much like the offense it seems to take a long time to get the play in.

-A mobile qb will destroy this defense. Once a running back or qb gets past the d line they're good for 10 yards.

-Without Lavonte David, they are in serious trouble.

-Great call to change safeties because of poor tackling.

-Defense does a great job when they have 80 yards to play with, but because of bad field position they are giving up points.

 

 

good points but you are missing one.

 

 

.....8-1 the b12 title may be in his grasp.

 

Bo knows football.

 

Why does it seem to be that the single rebuttal anyone has against this list is hurf durf 8-1. Yes, we are winning games and that is great. This isn't about our record, though. It's about what's actually going on during the games. Mistakes that are supposedly going to be fixed, but keep happening anyway.

 

It's the details that wins football games, and subsequently can cost you games.

 

Anyway, much of the quoted post mirrors the same thoughts and concerns I've had throughout the season. It's not like we play like crap all the time, but every 2 or 3 weeks the team comes out and lays a turd, and it's always the same areas that are causing problems. We could just as easily have 2 or 3 losses right now off a pretty easy schedule, so I don't understand why everyone wants to just gloss over this stuff.

My only gripe with Pelini is his canned answers that he has to describe the opponent of the week. "They are a well coached team". This gets repeated ad nauseum by Bo. It's almost like describing a girl as being "nice". We all know how that girl looks! I just want to hear different or at least varied coach speak I guess.

If we are going to take a trip down memory lane, this thread gets a look. We will find out soon.

i agree, nothing that can be fixed has gotten fixed....penalties, poor execution, it all lands on coaching...especially on the offensive side of the ball...wouldn't you think the coaches could see this and react to these problems by the 13th game?

If they hadn't fixed them all year what chance was there going to be they got them fixed by bowl time? Until Bo quits making excuses it will keep happening.
