EZ-E Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 He does have a chance to play right away, there has been serious discussion of moving Quincy to TE On this board only. LoL 3 Link to comment
HuskerHacker Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Walker will play right away... I think he'll contend for special teams first but his size and speed will put him on the field if he's able to catch the ball consistently. His video shows he has soft hands that gobble up anything near him. Also, his size with what seems to be break away speed. Might not be as shifty as some of our current receivers but reminds me a lot of a faster QE. Kids has skills. Link: Link to comment
EZ-E Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Watching his film again, he really doesn't do anything complicated. He really likes to initiate contact as the offensive player. Good looking prospect. Link to comment

Quincy is a great receiver with a good shot at the pros. He is not moving to tight end. This is not ea sports. Link to comment

Quincy is a great receiver with a good shot at the pros. He is not moving to tight end. This is not ea sports. I've been one who has brought up the idea, but I haven't suggested that he move to TE permanently. In certain sets and situations it makes perfect sense to me. Getting Bell, Turner, Westerkemp and or Allen or even Walker on the field with Enunwa in the Kyler Reed role matched up on a LB would be devastating. If you think that it hasn't been discussed on some level amongst the coaching staff you'd be crazy. Link to comment
HuskerHacker Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I for one can see the logic to this thinking and in regards to QE improving his draft status, it makes sense. The pro's are doing this (creating high bred position players) often enough. Niles Paul is a good example of what the pros will do with a QE frame. Is he an every down TE, no but in a match zone, especially where we expect a full out blitz, absolutely put him in the TE position and let his speed break open the middle or a quick out pattern to the flat for 6-8 yards.

I'm just not a fan of moving a very promising WR to TE for one year. Especially if we can add Vandenberg. Link to comment
ndobney Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 well everyone says we have nothing at TE, but we have Jake Long and Cotton. Long and Cotton have pedigree. Link to comment

The word is hybrid Almost no one but us runs a match up zone regularly You can't have an all out blitz in match up zone, that would require straight man to man, aka zero coverage His primary advantage as a receiver is his size discrepancy with defensive backs. It also makes it hard for them to tackle him or beat his blocks. I'm not sure that trading all that for a supposed speed advantage over linebackers is worth it, even assuming they'd have a linebacker in there instead of just using an extra DB. Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 well everyone says we have nothing at TE, but we have Jake Long and Cotton. Long and Cotton have pedigree. And Trey Foster apparently looks good as well according to Bo. Link to comment

Am I the only one that funds it hilarious that ndobney throws out these names but in his eyes we have no DTs whatsoever Link to comment

Most of the time I think he just says stuff to say it He lies blatantly about injury statuses (unless something is broken, he'll tell the media a guy is fine no matter what). That's more of a belichek style attempt at keeping things from the competition though. Not sure I've ever seen where he was less than honest about anything else, though, so that's kind of an odd statement to claim otherwise. Link to comment
