Foppa Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Oh Ciante Evans, where have you gone? I saw the name 'Evans' a lot last year...it was the name on the back of the jersey of the player chasing after the receiver/ball carrier that constantly beat him. Quote Link to comment
Husker_x Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I can't imagine Fisher locking down a starting spot or a blackshirt if he's not come back in a big way. My memory-glimpses of him from last season are usually obscured by the memory of my hand slamming into my face. That said, hope he's healthy and lives up to his promise, else it's gotta be one of the young guys. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I just can't believe Caveman won't be the starter. We want Pressure? Get him on the field. I don't get it. Why is this hard to believe? Did Martin get more than a few special packages last year? Has he ever shown anything more than some nice energy on the field, particularly in ST? I know he is a fan favorite and for a good reason, but I did not think he was an expected starter. At the very least the competition for that other DE spots should be plentiful. Quote Link to comment

I can't believe you're asking this. Well, anyways.....Caveman hasn't played much but when he has the attempt to attack is fully there. I can't say that about "any" other DE we have.

HuskerShark Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Oh Ciante Evans, where have you gone? I saw the name 'Evans' a lot last year...it was the name on the back of the jersey of the player chasing after the receiver/ball carrier that constantly beat him. I'm not sure which name we saw more, Evans or Thorell... But I'm still willing to give Ciante a chance to become what we all thought he would be following the 2010 Missouri game, especially since he has been named by many of the coaches as the most improved player. Regardless, I think Charles Jackson is the nickelback of the future. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I agree with many on here. I don't think Fisher will be the starter after a few games. I think Zaire will end up taking his spot. I don't think he was brought in to sit on the bench. However, I do think we need to put him in against Ohio St...he did end up making the most important tackle of last year's game after all.

RedDenver Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Everyone is talking about Fisher getting replaced, but who is behind him at SLB? Media reports have Roach and Rose behind Compton at MLB and then Anderson and Santos behind Whaley at WLB. Quote Link to comment
The King Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Don't know, but Zaire will need to see the field ASAP, same with Seisay and Charles Jackson. Guy will be good. Also, would like to hear more about Harvey Jackson, Corey Cooper. Quote Link to comment

mrandyk Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I really don't like how things are looking here. I hope the JC transfers are really effective this year, the defense is going to need them. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Wish we'd shirt Carter, he'll be good depth this season, could be a good starter next season. Wondering who will be the dime guy, Blatchford? Ciante move over and CJ plays nickel? As far as Hagg and the peso go the idea was to get Hagg out there but at the same time we were in a spread-happy con where the Peso fits anyway. Fisher was really hurting last season, don't know if he'll keep his job but he should get the benefit of the doubt. Hope it goes very well, he should get a medical hardship year if he applies. If Zaire or maybe Santos is looking really good wouldn't surprise me to see Whaley back at buck. I'll be interested to see how the OT battles work out. Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 There's no denying Fisher's run defense was horrid last year. However, his pass coverage seemed pretty good to me the best I could tell. If he can continue to rebound from that brutal injury I would think his run support might come along just fine. Here's hoping anyways..... Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 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. Funny you should mention that. I saw Fisher at the coffee shop yesterday and he was still limping - barely, but noticeably. He had a pretty big injury and it's no surprise that it's taking him a while to come back from it. He may never (Matt Herian comes to mind), and that'll be a shame. Otherwise Fisher looked lean. I can't say "mean" because he's such a baby-face. Quote Link to comment
