gobiggergoredder Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 His situation reminds me so much of Matt O'Hanlon. I was convinced O'Hanlon was terrible. He needed a little time and got better...a lot better. I was wrong. Thorell is being bagged on for nothing more than being a walk-on from po dunk Loomis. The kid is an athlete. He is a sub 50 400 kid from high school. He ran the 110 hurdles in 14.5 (faster than Niles Paul). He is not the problem and I don't see why so many think so. I have been pleased how he has started making plays the last couple of weeks. He has become one of the more reliable open field tacklers we have. Quote Link to comment

sd'sker Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 are you asking us to lay off him as much as he lays off the receivers? i kid, i kid. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Bo didn't think much of all the tackles he had. Quote Link to comment
Axl_sued_me Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 He was getting cooked yesterday. Quote Link to comment
kc_husker Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Thorell should not be starting period. But why would CARL put him on man to man situations on their best wide out most of the game?????????????????? Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Loomis is NOT po dunk! (They're about two stoplights short of being po dunk) He reminds me of the typical walkon from smalltown Nebraska..Work you ass off because you love the sport and the team..and in most cases..the state..just for that chance to get in. I'm proud to also be from Phelps County. Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Loomis is NOT po dunk! I'm from Douglas County. Yes, yes it is. They have a big game Tuesday. Go Wolves! Quote Link to comment
Vince R. Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 He's a humble guy who leaves it out there on the field. Whether playing or not, he's a guy you want on your team Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have no problem with Thorell. There is a reason the coaches put him out there. I always feel badly for the athletes that get singled out. Not a one of them wants to lose, but it is part of the game Quote Link to comment

Not a one of them wants to lose, but it is part of the game with how bad the 'd' played, i imagine it has more to do with the coaches then the players. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Thorell should not be starting period. But why would CARL put him on man to man situations on their best wide out most of the game?????????????????? They run a 2 deep man under concept on D. Northwestern was just smart enough to line Ebert in the slot to avoid having to match up on Zo. So be NW's play design that Ebert was in the slot, it wasn't a case of NU game planning to have their best cover guy(Zo) not cover Ebert. Lance didn't get punked as much as Ciante did when matched up on Ebert. And Ciante didn't tackle the mistakes he made in coverage so people honestly should be looking harder at Ciante than Lance. 3 Quote Link to comment

I have been pleased how he has started making plays the last couple of weeks. He has become one of the more reliable open field tacklers we have. He was great against Michigan State. He got beat awfully bad against Northwestern. I haven't seen anybody write anything else about him, just that he got beat badly and needs to be much better than he was if Nebraska's going to win these last 3 games. Surely you don't have a problem with people saying that? Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's not Thorell's fault the so called blue chippers haven't stepped up to over take him in the depth chart. Playing time has to be EARNED and Thorell has earned his. Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's not Thorell's fault the so called blue chippers haven't stepped up to over take him in the depth chart. Haha. You're basically saying, "It's not Thorell's fault that other players suck worse than he does!" Quote Link to comment
