BelieveN Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I couldn't help but notice how big our guys will be in 2011. The Holiday bowl really showed how weak are offensive line has become, whether that goes to the Barney or not we need some ground pavers. Our starting Unit LT-Sirles 6-6 310 LG-Rodriguez 6-6 325 C-Caputo 6-1 275, (Reeves could push him for the starting job, 6-3 300, more of a center body) RG-Qvale 6-7 320 RT-Yoshi 6-7 320 Hopefully are offensive strategy will shift from the zone read to more of a downhill runnning attack. We could possibly have a very physical unit next year and that will be a key to become successful in the BIG10. thoughts? Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Size doesnt always make you better. Specially with a moving QB, sometimes you want O-line that can move and react faster. Take for instance the Viking's OT.. both are 6'8 340 pounds, yet they're so slow. Sometime s asmaller yet faster o'line can be better. Now the huskers looked out worked in all aspects this year, so who knows. I think the O'line will get better tho. Quote Link to comment

RedNLeader Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Caputo can be a great center...but i think he needs to get a lot meaner!! Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think Caputo just needs to get healthier. Torn meniscus, second half of the season, I believe. Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Caputo can be a great center...but i think he needs to get a lot meaner!! Caputo is a beast for his size, he plays much bigger, but mark my words, he is going to get beat out by Ryne Reeves. Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I actually think we'd be better off if we were smaller and more athletic, given the type of offense we're trying to run... 1995 Nebraska offensive line: C Aaron Graham 6'4" 285 lbs OG Steve Ott 6'4" 275 lbs OG Aaron Taylor 6'1" 295 lbs OT Eric Anderson 6'4" 290 lbs OT Chris Dishman 6'2" 300 lbs Quote Link to comment

So bigger and slower is what we need for the read option? I'll take 300 lb guys that are physical and can run instead of our fat-asses that play patty-cake right now. Quote Link to comment

I think we could run whatever we wanted with that line. As disciplined and cohesive a unit as there ever was. Not very many false starts or holds. Upperclassmen who knew what needed to be done and the athleticism to get it done. Quote Link to comment
