HuskerShark Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I hope to see Aaron Green, Jamal Turner, Smoove Seisay, and Taylor Martinez have great games. Taylor needs to have a good showing in order to quiet a few of the haters for a few months. You're gonna see less of TM than you did in last years SG. The game isn't meant for a third year starter at QB. It's meant for the younger guys. The last thing you want is for TM to take off for the sideline and rupture an Achilles. TM isn't gonna quiet the hatred in the spring. He has to do that next year against UM and Ohio St on the road. Right. What I expect from Taylor in this spring game is to stand in the pocket and throw good passes down the field and for the receivers to catch it every time it hits their hands. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I want someone to step up huge filling LaVonte's shoes. I don't know who it is but I hope someone is ready to come in and get even half the tackles David got. We are losing one hell of a ball player there. Hopefully whoever it is comes out of the gates like a beast and makes me feel a bit better about the situation heading into the fall. Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I hate to say it, but after the past 7-8 yrs I really do not care to much about the spring game. Great to see some of the new guys and others who have improved after some more time in the weight room/summer ball etc...... It just doesn't seem to really translate into anything in the season. JT and Carnes electrified last year. Dailey was like Tom Brady etc...... To go with the theme, I would really like to see one of the triplets light it up or Osbourne back in the mix. In 2010 he really seemed promising. I would really like to see more info like used to be on Husker Power. (I think that was the site) I really liked seeing the verticals, 40 times, lifts, records etc..... Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Maybe our newest recruit (#12) will be someone who will light up the Spring Game!! http://sports.omaha.com/2012/01/22/recruiting-huskers-land-12th-commitment/ Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I remember seeing Derek Slaughter's HS tape and was excited by his speed and ability to find the ball. I know it may not have been the best of competition. I'm pulling for him to do well. I remember Lavonte David talked a little bit about Slaughter and Santos during fall camp last year. Pretty impressive to rack up over 250 tackles in your junior and senior season at the high school level and to only be 5'11" 195 lbs. I do hope he adds some weight though during winter conditioning. Kid has good speed off the edge, good instincts when to jump the snap count and who to tackle when into the backfield. Good motor and doesn't give up. But for those who though David was undersized, this guy is even more undersized. Thanks for finding that video of DS! I hope that a year at the training table and in the weight room has allowed him to add needed muscle weight. I love his motor and his heat seeking missle attitude. He played CB in high school as well, wouldn't be too surprised if he made that switch if LB doesn't work out. Quote Link to comment

mnhusker Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I think it may be the same group that we saw last year and that speaks a good deal for the youth on the team (It may also speak to my lack of knowledge regaurding other young players) Quote Link to comment
majech Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Jamal Turner He's still in the doghouse. :-) He'll get some rec yard time in the spring and probably some during the non-con. By the time B1G rolls around, he'll be in solitary confinement for making Marlowe look bad. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Corey Cooper, Harvey Jackson, SMoove, Santos, and Peat on defense. Hopefully, Klacko, Moore, Long, Reeves, Sirles, and Choi on offense. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I hope we see this Brion to Turner connection not only in the spring game again, but for the next 3 years at Nebraska. Goodbye Taylor, thanks for the effort. My sentiments exactly. Quote Link to comment
