flatwaterfan Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 He likes what he sees from Stafford. Loves Ameer. Ameer must of had a good practice. Likes Caveman at RE. Thinks Turner could have a big year. Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm definitely interested in his final assessment after he concludes his trip in Lincoln. Quote Link to comment

Red Tape Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Of the three RB newbs I have been hearing more chatter about Heard and Ameer than Green. I am not surprised, I think Ameer's running style is the one best suited to get him on the field early. Heard is a one cut and gone type of guy, so hopefully we see him fill in the Helu role at some point. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Nebraska Practice - QB - they are built to beat you with their legs and hopefully hurt you with their ARMS but balanced they are not. Hmmmmm..... Quote Link to comment

Hmmmmm..... Lack of balance was the hallmark of some of our greatest teams. Balance for the sake of balance is overrated. Effectiveness >>>>>> Balance Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Stafford WILL start sometime this year and steal the show at the safety position and I think Heard has the best shot at getting the most PT so far. Quote Link to comment

Thinks Turner could have a big year. Even as poorly as they played at times last year, he has said that he really likes the look of our offensive line. Said they look athletic, hopefully he is correct and they perform well. I think he said they look like the most athletic line in the big ten, dont quote me on that. Quote Link to comment

Hmmmmm..... Lack of balance was the hallmark of some of our greatest teams. Balance for the sake of balance is overrated. Effectiveness >>>>>> Balance Well I wasn't making a case that we NEED to be balanced. I could care less about balance as long as we're moving the ball and scoring points. However, they need to at least be COMPETENT passers. Should a situation arise where we NEED to throw the ball and we're not able to, then an extreme unbalance can bite you right in your ass. EDIT: Also, it's not like we didn't already know that our QB's, for the most part, are better runners than passers. And we already knew that Bo wanted to go to a predominantly run-oriented offense. It was more of "thank you Captain Obvious" to DiNardo. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I was more replying to DeNardo than you, GSG. I definitely agree that we need to be able to pass effectively when a team shuts down the run game. That was always the Achilles heel of our 80s teams. Quote Link to comment

You can be unpredictable an hard to defend all sorts of different ways, the key is to be competent and effective in both phases. Quote Link to comment
