dawhuskerkc Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Choi is flat out a monster. Every play 1st quarter or 4th he's out there doing it. Cant actually believe that rodriguez plays at 50% of Choi's performance. Play after play....Choi and Long are strengths of the line, with Caputo and Hardrick right up there. Some people speculate that games are one and lost by coaches...i agree with this. Choi not in, we lose, gives us a dimension when he pulls, Arod disappears on most of his snaps. Choi needs to be awarded a Ship for his senior year....he will get a tryout with an NFL team and we will make a squad...half the other guys wont get a sniff. Quote Link to comment
Norhusker Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yet Barney loves ARod like some long lost prodigal son. I'm not a coach but even I can see a big difference betweeen the two. Who cares if most of the starters are walk-ons. Let the best man play!! Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 That 71 pretty much had his way with both of our guards. Quote Link to comment
dawhuskerkc Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Choi is ahead of Long at this point, the failed attemps on 3rd down today all went to Longs side... I like Long, but Choi is better, and way ahead of the guy that gets reps when healthy.. There was one play today where Choi stopped moving downfield where he should have take the LB or safety out in two more steps, instead he wathched the play get stuffed....the play breakdown was not his breakdown, but the definision of finish comes to mind. Other than that play, the kid was 4 stars. Quote Link to comment
adc7236 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I was not thrilled with Long's play today. One play that comes to mind was a screen play that looked like it could have went for big yards; he was in slow motion and missed a key block. Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Well....number 71 is a damn monster....the o-line did just enough to keep him from killing our offensive production....big number 71 made some plays for Penn St. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Number 71 was definately a beast. In the first half their Dline owned our Oline. In the second half it was more even. The better runs where Rex was flying through the line was over the left side. I thought Long had a poor day blocking. Several times his block would have sprung the runner for decent yardage. I understand he is inexperienced and before this year was a no name and he will improve with age for next year. Unfortunately a team never improves enough for us fans. We want perfection but with their age and skill level it won't happen anytime soon. Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 That 71 pretty much had his way with both of our guards. Yeah, he stormed through our guards like they were Charmin toilet paper. Uggh..... Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 That 71 pretty much had his way with both of our guards. Yeah, he stormed through our guards like they were Charmin toilet paper. Uggh..... During the game, I was all pissed off about it... And then I really got to thinking about it. And I thought it was hilarious! I think we finally know how it would have felt to have played Nebraska in Suh's Jr and Sr year.... That wouldn't have been fun. (: Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Agree Choi is one of our best. He is consistently pushing guys the other way. Long was not very good today IMO. Long and A-Rod haven't shown the consistency. Keep Choi in and let Long and A-Rod battle for the other guard position. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 So we're in agreement that our best offensive lineman is a walk-on that doesn't even have a scholarship? I'm not complaining, as Choi is an excellent player that I'm glad came on when he did. But isn't this ultimately an indictment of Barney's ability to successfully coach and recruit that position?

In the Deed the Glory Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 A Rod is superior in the pass game, Choi in the run game. Quote Link to comment
jamrinelli Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Choi has been one of our bright spots this year on the O-line. It would be nice to see him in full time everygame. What I would really like to see is us getting a commitment by Peat and having him start on our Oline next year!!!!! That would be a huge pick up. Quote Link to comment
