Apathy Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Defense is slow and is getting torched by yet another mobile QB and WR's. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 DL and LB's....................yes, I agree. DB's NO WAY! They are just letting the receivers behind them..................obviously a huge no no. Quote Link to comment
epocSoN Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Not really. The play calling has been sh#t. You can't bump with no deep safety.... stupid stupid stupid play calling. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We will be fine. We had Braxton and Co. under wraps out of the gate but let him loose for a couple of huge runs since then. I trust Bo to make the adjustments needed at halftime and get him contained again. Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 well i dont know how much it is speed, as much as other things Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's none of that. Braxton is just that kind of playmaker. We did some good things on defense to start the night. He broke the game open and we had a hell of a time keeping a lid on that. Quote Link to comment

Haspula Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Same problem against UCLA. You need speed to defend mobile QBs plain and simple Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 You'Re high. Come back down Quote Link to comment
The Duke Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think we have the necessary talent to compete. Do we need a little more speed on defense? Maybe, but I think the main issue is our defensive scheme itself. In a nutshell it is a bend but don't break defense. Some like Bo Pelini prefer that kind of defense. I however wish we could be more aggressive. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We need an aggressive, attacking, speed defense. The offense is putting up points but what the hell is Nebraska giving up 63 points...that is completely crazy! Soon as OSU got the edge, gone! Clear out the middle, OSU gone! This is a joke. Any quality D recruit with speed can step in and play...that is my only hope that some of these stellar D recruits are as fast as we think. Man, Lavonte David really saved our ass last year...think about that one, people! He was probably worth an extra 2 wins last year. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 On the contrary, we need a defense that is extremely smart, extremely disciplined, and maintains contain on Braxton. Failed to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment
3rd and long Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 On the contrary, we need a defense that is extremely smart, extremely disciplined, and maintains contain on Braxton. Failed to do that. That, along with simple, solid fundamentals, is what we seem to continually lack. That also leads to penalties and turnovers. All which have been a trademark for us the last few years. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Even disciplined defenses can get blown apart by freak athletes like Miller. You need to attack him, hit him and force a few bad throws, even if it means giving up a few big plays. Michigan State blitzed him a lot and Ohio State scored 17 points. They have both better athletes on the front seven and probably better discipline. Right now our defense is lacking a lot of things. Quote Link to comment
