Starting Lineup guesswork

[In the Deed the Glory]

Seisay will be a starter, I would imagine Fisher's spot will be no longer his after about the 4th week as Zaire Anderson/David Santos will probably take it from him. Evans is the starting nickel back from what I have read.

Evans will start as nickel, but wouldnt be shocked if Charles jackson took that spot by the time confrence play comes around.

 

I could see that happening and would welcome that if he is physical enough to play that spot. Amazing how much we missed Eric Hagg last year.

Yep, and that is essentially what the nickel spot is now in the B1G since we don't use the Peso as much. I am beginning to think we only had the Peso to get Hagg on the field and wonder if we will ever have another player that can play that spot like he did. Special player, Mr. Hagg.

You know who was way better? Dejon Gomes.

[In the Deed the Glory]

Gomes was not better at the Peso than Hagg. Wasn't as good against the run or as sure of a tackler. He was great at his spot, however. That secondary was special, probably the best we've ever had at NU.

[NebraskaHarry]

I'm not sold on Fischer. The guy is smart, but from the time he's been here he's not a huge play maker. I'd like to see Santos or even Rose step up into his role.

 

With that said, if Fischer proves me wrong I'd be happy to admit I'm wrong.

[The Dude]

What worries me is the prospect of Fisher playing while a vastly superior player is on the bench. Like Lavonte David would have been had fisher not been injured. He might know the defense better than the other guys, but I have a hard time believing he's going to contribute in any positive way. It's time to get someone else ready for the future.

Agreed. It still cracks me up thinking of when Lavonte would make 500 tackles in one game and in the presser Pelini would talk about how out of position he was.

So we're in agreement.

I think we will see some of Zaire Anderson in there as well.

That's a hell of a thing to say but you just might be right.

[Treand3]

I hope Fisher is much improved, but I still question his mobility due to his leg injury. He was frankly painful to watch at times last year. I stand by the premise that if Zaire and David can make moves on the depth chart, our LBs will be good to go.

[bshirt]

I just can't believe Caveman won't be the starter. We want Pressure? Get him on the field.

I would think that both Joseph Carter and Eric Martin are pushing Ankrah pretty hard for playing time.

[HuskerShark]

I just can't believe Caveman won't be the starter. We want Pressure? Get him on the field.

 

This is my thought a lot of the time too, but Cam has one DE position locked down, and there has been a lot of praise thrown the direction of Jason Ankrah, so I don't know what to think... I'm taking the wait-and-see approach. Last year, however, that is exactly what I wanted.
