Things you aren't seeing with the Huskers

[Warrior10]

I have a feeling our guys could do that to Houston.....level of competition....

[B.B. Hemingway]

I know Burkhead is a beast and him David saved our winning season. But do you know what I really miss?? A back that can break one for an 80 yard touchdown. Not once but a handful of times in a season. ie. Ahman Green, Deangelo Evans, Cory Ross, Corell Buckhalter, Lawrence Phillips and so on.....

 

Burkhead isn't a bad trade-off though...right?

I agree. You can't beat a consistent player, especially one who is consistently as good as him.

Sad we cant recruit guys that even Southern Miss can like

 

Are you implying that Southern Miss has better players (athletes) then we do??

 

Really??

 

How many Lavonte Davids, Fonzo Dennards, Burkheads, Cricks, etc. do they have??

I love how the guy lists the four best players on this team, 3 of which are graduating seniors, and then puts a little etc. on the end of that. LOL. Some of your posts make me laugh. You care to fill in more of those names? What if Southern Miss does recruit consistently more talented players than Nebraska? Or what if their coaches just develop lesser talented players better than we do? Anyone can come on here and name our best players and the say "etc." I hate to inform you that there are a lot of teams out there that don't just rely on 4 guys to carry their team. You gonna sit here and try to tell me that Burkhead didn't carry this offense this year? You gonna try to tell me that when we lost Crick our defensive line didn't fall apart? How would this team have faired without Fonzie and David out there? Yea, that's what i thought. Every team has playmakers, but lots of other teams get consistent play from nearly every position on the field. Not great play, but consistent play. Don't be surprised if Southern Miss comes in here next year and plays a tough game.

 

What other posts of mine have entertained you?

 

Naturally, if I was comparing top talent (which I was) I would point out some of our best players. In what situation, when comparing talent, would someone compare Nebraska's middle of the road players to Southern Miss. best players? That would be pretty stupid wouldn't it?

 

That would be like someone saying that we land similar recruits as Bama, and then the Bama guy pointing out Julio Jones, Mark Ingram, Richardson, Hightower, T. Cody, etc..... then one of us (you) saying "well yeah if you name off your top players".

 

Yes, if you set aside Nebraska's top 15 or so players, then I am sure that Nebraska and Southern Miss. have similar talent.

 

Anyone that actually thinks that we won 9 games this year with 4 guys, needs to learn how to reevaluate a football team, and all the contributing parts. Rex did carrry this team, but losing Crick?? There was no drop off there, although the play with Crick wasn't good either.

 

Good post bud.....

Yes, Nebraska top fifteen players blow away any talent Southern Miss has. LOL Have you watched Southern Miss? They look like some decent players out there in my opinion. And yeah, your right. Fonzie didn't shut down the top recievers of every single team we played.........which I'd say shutting down B.J. Cunningham, McNutt and company probably did take some points of the board. He shuts down a whole side of the field and the teams best playmakers. Oh yea, and that Crick guy? Who the hell is he. Losing him didn't hurt us at all. LOL.

 

Great post bud........

 

Where did I say that Dennard didn't shut down the other teams best receiver?? I didn't say that. As for Crick, he was having an Big Ten Honorable-Mention type year. The lack of pressure from the DLine was just as much a problem with Crick as without. The best game our DLine played was against Mich. St. (without Crick). Now having said that, Crick was a great player his first three years, and I wonder if his fall off in play this year wasn't more due to the fact that JP was coaching the DLine, and Carl was focusing on the Defense as a whole.

You listed him as one of your four players. I simply pointed out that without him, the outcomes of games may have changed. He was an absolute difference maker for this team. No doubt about it. So yes, when you say anyone that thinks we won 9 games with 4 guys needs to learn ....blah blah blah, I counter your argument with the fact that without Burkhead and Dennard on this team, games my have come out differently. I think you don't appreciate the value of a shutdown corner. Maybe you need to learn to evaluate a football team. You also need to learn how to follow the points you make and when someone counters them with facts. You seem to be getting lost in your own argument.

[True2tRA]

Talk about evaluating a football team. The fact that you think the outcome of this season would have been the same without guys like Burkhead, Lavonte David, and Fonzie D.....well that is just a f'ing' joke in itself. Maybe you've had one too many.

Explain to me what Crick did for the d-line. It stunk when he was still playing and it stunk after he got hurt.

Yes, who the hell is Crick? The guy wasn't missed at all on the defensive line this year. You trolls got to get help.

Lost in my own argument? You're stating things that I didn't even say (like the bolded above). Obviously Dennard is great, same for Rex. What team wouldn't be the same without their best players. I am in no way downgrading either of them, some of the best we've had in awhile. You keep defending Crick (this years version), and there is no defense for him...He was average at best this year, and there was zero-to-little falloff after he got hurt.

 

No trolling here, just providing a guy with logic (cuz he needs it).....

Are you being serious? Yeah, Crick was a good player, but we didn't skip a beat without him. Granted, the results were just as underwhelming as they were with him, but IMO he made almost NO difference on the D-line. In fact, him getting injured may have been a blessing in disguise because we got experience for guys like Chase Rome, Jay Guy, and a couple other guys that will really be valuable going into next year.

[JJ Husker]

All I know is the OP claimed that we couldn't recruit guys like Lampley then someone else mentioned David, Burkhead, Fonzie, & Crick, then somebody said that wasn't fair. You're right, we need the names of three more studs for Southern Miss before it's fair. Other teams will recruit talented guys. You can't simply name a few guys from any team and use that as proof we can't recruit. BTW, the way Crick played early this year, proved that it probably didn't hurt us too much when we lost him for good.

[True2tRA]

You guys are starting to sound like these two.

 

I like this more.

Some of you remind me of these two.
