General Blackshirt Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Yes, Shawn Watson is awful and needs to go. I am by no means defending him to keep his job, but our offensive line is terrible. Just terrible. Sure, we can push around girly teams like KSU and Missouri, but what about when we play a team that's fired up and physical? We have no chance. Last night it was painfully obvious Washington was just going to load the box and run downs, and blitz the house in passing situations. It would have been nice to see a freaking screen pass, but the offensive line play was just unacceptable. Barney takes decently talented linemen and manages to get the worst out of them. Get that clown out of here. Quote Link to comment
SnowBigRed Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I guess I'm under the assumption that if Watson goes, Cotton will be shown the door as well and the Skers will do a complete offensive overhaul. Maybe I shouldn't make that assumption, because Cotton needs to take a hike more than anyone. Quote Link to comment

pjbighuskerman Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Agreed. From an ex O-lineman, they lacked fire. Seemed tired. They did seem better later in the game. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment

Maybe I shouldn't make that assumption, because Cotton needs to take a hike more than anyone. I'm under the same assumption. It's 100% clear Barney is not capable of getting his o-line mentally and physically ready to play like an NU line is supposed to play. He has the talent - but he can't develop them.

BigRedLaw Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Cotton is a disaster. He couldn't even cut it at ISU and we bring him back instantly. Disgusting. I think the biggest travesty was that the team had 26 days to install a quick passing offense, since it was obvious Washington was going to load the box to stop the run, and they didn't even try to do that. Very predictable offense and very poor line play. We need a new OC and new O-line coach ASAP. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 If anything the constant false starts and holds on RUNNING plays is enough to convince me... Quote Link to comment
BornRedCornFed Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 ive been wondering this for a long time.... Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Cotton needs to go more than Watson does. Washington was manhandling our line with a three man rush. Quote Link to comment
Husker_x Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Cotton is just another metastasis in the Watsgrove cancer. He will be cut out when the source is purged. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 If I had to choose between Watson and Cotton going, I'd choose Cotton. Watson isn't far behind, though. Honestly, I appreciate what they've done for the team, but neither coach is putting a consistently good "product" on the field. And this has been the case for multiple seasons now. I wish them the best, but I hope they're shown the door before next season. Of course, we need to be able to get replacements who are better. That's always the catch. Quote Link to comment

The line was blocking like a screen was called every play last night... they got dominated. there was one play when taylor was sacked. if you were watching the line, you wouldve seen four of our lineman on their backs being run over by a much smaller washington d line. they didnt play with any pride or determination last night Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 there was one play that our qb got sacked and i looked.... there were 4 O-LINEMAN ON THE GROUND.... WTF seriously needs a change. gut the offense and start over from top to bottom. coaches need removed and players need re-evaluated. Quote Link to comment
