huskerduff Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Why does Cosgrove still think that rushing 3 and dropping everyone else into coverage will work? Our secondary is too weak to do this. 8 games in, and we still do it. Quote Link to comment
Red Snow Sword: Husker Sentinel Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 My personal favorite play is a cover 3 out of the nickel........ but just like anything else, it's not about eliminating weaknesses, it's knowing where they are and how to play off them I really don't know enough to say more. It seems like Cos is trying to get something to work, but apparently it isn't working..... hmmm ........... Go Big Red Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Yep, once again he rushed 3 and gave up a key first down. The good thing is that he only did it one play and not an entire half. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Yeah lets bring everyone on a blitz and get beat deep We would have had to bring a lot of people to get to the QB. Dont blame it all on the coaches the players have a responsoblilty Quote Link to comment
huskerduff Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Obviously, I am not suggesting we blitz everyone. I'm just suggesting at least 4 linemen and maybe 1 linebacker. If it's 3rd and long, the secondary is going to be the target, so I do not see why you don't send at least one linebacker, as they probably won't be covering downfield anyway (at least I hope not). Have we shown at all this year that our secondary can match up very well against anyone? No. Has Bomar (a freshman) shown he does not throw well under pressure? Yes. Quote Link to comment

Dont blame it all on the coaches the players have a responsoblilty You don't have to blitz everyone. bring 4 or 5 and cover. The defensive backfield didn't play too bad today. The qb had 5 or 6 seconds when we brought 3. It doesn't work with our players. Look at the previous weeks. Look at last year. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I hate the 3 man rush as much as the next guy. But shouldn't 8 be able to cover 5? Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I hate the 3 man rush as much as the next guy. But shouldn't 8 be able to cover 5? Not with this team and not when the 3 don't get to the qb in ample time. A good receiver will find a hole in the zone if he is allowed to run around for 6 seconds. Quote Link to comment
huskerduff Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 I hate the 3 man rush as much as the next guy. But shouldn't 8 be able to cover 5? Well, they haven't all year. And that just gives the QB time to pick us apart, Quote Link to comment
BigRedDallasTexan Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Maybe he watches 3 guys rush the passer effectively in practice against our pop warner offensive line and thinks it can work in the game. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I didn't understand the 3-man rush crap. Bomar is a freshman and going to get rattled and make mistakes. Why not sell out and bring everyone on a blitz? Better than letting him stand tall for 8 seconds then find an open man for a first down. That last TD drive in the fourth absolutely killed NU. 4 or 5 first downs converted on 3rd and long, 1 4th down conversion. Horrible. We're not talkin about Jason White here, this is a FRESHMAN!

huskernumerouno Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 As far as iI am concerned, cosgrove can take the 3 man rush and stick it in his ASS. Our players have a responsibility to play the game the way the coaches call it. Some times they each will make mistakes, but the 3 man rush has been . GO HUSKERS!!!!! P.S. NO MORE 3 MAN RUSH Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Yeah lets bring everyone on a blitz and get beat deep We would have had to bring a lot of people to get to the QB. Dont blame it all on the coaches the players have a responsoblilty I would rather blitz and make them make a play over giving it to them. Quote Link to comment

I dont like the 3 man line much, unless you can bring 2 or 3 to blitz. It's an okay scheme to run as a change up. My concern, as I have been saying for a few weeks, is that when he runs this, its normally against teams that spread the field, and instead of having his top 3 CBs, and maybe Shanle and Jackson playing back there providing SPEED, he plays a 3-4, and puts his MLB on a WR. I just dont think that NU has enough speed for any of its LBs (except maybe Octavian) to cover WRs. Sorry, but I still think coz and his system suck I dont much care about "not buying in," and IMO, I dont think that he sees a difference between the Big 10 and the Big 12. Quote Link to comment
