Nexus Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Sean Callahan's twitter: Great to see both Courtney Osborne and Austin Cassidy rewarded with Blackshirts today at practice. They were given Thenarse and Smith's. LINK Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 So who are our Blackshirts now? Allen Steinkuhler Crick Meredith Hagg Amukamara Dennard Gomes Cassidy Osborne David Compton? If not him, who else at LB? Who am I missing? EDIT - forgot LaVonte David Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Can anybody share some insight as to why Thenarase and Smith lost their blackshirts? Did Cassidy and Osborne beat them out on the practice field? And knapplc, I think David has a blackshirt. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the reminder on David. Brain fart. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the reminder on David. Brain fart. I guess my question more or less is if anybody knows why he was benched? My best guess is that he got beat out in practice because it seemed like he was having a pretty good year. I didn't see him making mistakes or giving up the big play. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thenarse was not having a good year. He was one of the main culprits on Pelini's famous quote about the 28 missed tackles against Texas. Rickey has been hitting people without wrapping up all season. It really started to bite him in conference play, and since he didn't seem willing to fix it, he got benched. Quote Link to comment
The RANT Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thenarse has probably already played his last meaningfull downs at Nebraska. I think PJ has a chance to be a very good player for us this year and the years to come. Quote Link to comment

whateveritis1224 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Smith was doing alright until he started missing tackles along with the rest of the secondary, except he didn't improve his tackling like the rest of the other starters. He's still playing, and I do think once he gets rid of whatever's wrong with his tackling he'll get back into the lineup. Quote Link to comment

EZ-E Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Eric Martin = the next Ricky Thenarse He may never contribute in a major way on defense. Osborne and Cassidy deserve their blackshirts. They have both played very well for the most part. Osborne fixed every problem that we were having at safety in that Mizzou game. I am excited about our safety depth for next year.

Couldn't agree more. I never did think Martin would be a major factor at LB with his "play by my own rules" mentality. Quote Link to comment
The RANT Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Obviously Martin doesnt have much between the ears. Has all the physical tools in the world just not the understanding of the defense and instincts to play for Bo on Saturday's. (Except on special teams where he unleashes his inner beast) Quote Link to comment
