husker B-rent Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 i say best of luck to the guy. i always thought that he should be the 4th string back because Jones always looked better when he was in anyways and i think the only reason he was 3rd string was because of his size, he certainly never impressed on the field...

knapplc Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 D-Tray's transfer makes me wonder if there's something going on with the coaches that he really doesn't like and won't stick around for. He was our 3rd string guy this year, which would've put him in great position to get even more PT in 201l, potentially as our #2 behind Rex. I know we have talent coming in that will compete for lots of PT, but you gotta think Tray stood a great chance considering he's been in the system for 2 years now. IMO there's more than meets the eye with this unfortunate transfer. Could be all sorts of things. Could be that he transferred for the same reason(s) Castille transferred (just throwing that out there, NOT an allegation), could be he asked the coaches for an honest assessment of his playing chances and he didn't hear what he wanted, could be that he wasn't cutting it academically (again, just tossing this out there, NO reports of this), could be... just about anything.

knapplc Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 1 down, 3 or 4 to go. Three or four transfers? Quote Link to comment
HuskerNMO Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 1 down, 3 or 4 to go. Three or four transfers? Yep Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 1 down, 3 or 4 to go. Three or four transfers? Yep Cody Green? Taylor Martinez? Who are you thinking? Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think he's probably referring to less visible contributors to the team. There are some players that are probably costing us by claiming a scholarship spot against the 85 count; as harsh as that sounds, it's true in every program. Quote Link to comment

GMoose Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 From what I've read in the past (and was brought up again when I found out) is that the zone read attack just doesn't suit him. This is extremely disappointing to me, I loved his style of play and thought he had the chance to be something special. Whats even more disappointing is that this is further testament that we're sticking with a zone read offense Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think zone read is a bit of a misnomer. Zone read is just what a healthy Taylor excels at doing, so in several games we have really made a living off of it. Think of it more as a shotgun spread offense. It has to play to the strengths of the players of course. Or specifically to Taylor, because outside of Colorado it did not look like we were interested in playing to Cody's strengths when he went in. But regardless it seems to be one that will leave DTray behind, and it does seem like we are going to continue going in that direction under Bo's lead. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 This was probably best for him, he was never going to be a major player in our offense. Good luck in the future, Tray. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Blurb on LJS blogs says Heard has not officially enrolled yet, and we probably won't know until Monday. Sounds like Jamal Turner, Kevin Williams and Tyler Moore are enrolling in classes Monday. Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Best of luck to the guy....unfortunately, every time I think about Tray, I can't help but think about Iowa State in 08. Quote Link to comment
74Hunter Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Rex is the epitome of a football player, does some great things. But he is kind of a jack of all trades, master of none. We don't neccessarily need a workhorse running back in this offense, but do we really think that he will be able to carry the rock 20+ times per game every game? Especially since the 2 suspected top backups are smallish true freshman, who we don't even know if they will be here or not. Could be interesting. Quote Link to comment
BaytownHusker Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Rex will be the man.. He can carry the load and I promise if he gets the carries and chance to carry the rock more than 12 times again he will wear down the defenses in the 4 qter. Quote Link to comment
