Position Change for C-Jack?

[huskerhill]

Just saw it mentioned on the husker illustrated website. Anyone have any info?

Working at CB now, whereas before he was a nickel back.

[Danny Bateman]

That's good. Ciante seems to have the Nickel spot locked down, and we NEED to find a way to get Jackson on the field. Really impressed me in his limited duty against OSU.

speed speed speed. heard a lot of mumbling that the speed guys are gettin on the field here on out. No more f'ing around evidently.

Wouldn't be surprised if the coaches figured that putting younger, inexperienced players with speed on the field might help nullify some of the mistakes they'll inevitably make in the process. Speed can help mask some mistakes and I fully expect lots of the younger guys to rely on instincts while learning the scheme. In other words, they'll be learning on the fly and adjusting accordingly. So long as they're putting forth the effort and using their speed, that's probably the best we can hope for at the moment.

I've heard some rumblings of that Michael Rose might possibly be shedding his redshirt this weekend. Anybody else hear anything about this?

I think LD fit that mold. His first game as a Husker, I think he had like 11-12 tackles. Pelini said that he had a lot to work on, so apparently his speed made up for his mistakes.

I am a HUGE fan of Charles Jackson, and I have been baffled on why he is not playing as a CB, outside the Nickel.

 

Ed Helms, I would be highly surprised if they burned a red shirt, but you have to do what you have to do, and if its done, its obviously something the player agreed with.

 

GBR!

I'm okay with having Jackson at one CB, SJB at the other, and Ciante at Nickel. Sounds like a solid line-up to me. Hopefully he gets a chance to play a lot or start.

Ciante will be starting. We should be seeing Jackson on the field though, but not as much as I would like to lol.

 

 

Linebackers coach Ross Els said he expects a lot of different personnel combinations to play on Saturday between the linebackers, nickel backs and dime backs. He said no new players would likely make their debut this week - which includes freshman Michael Rose - but said David Santos should have a big role because of his ability to play in the open field.

 

Ed Helms, here is the answer to your question.

Not exactly, just that we may see a lot of a glorified dime look, like what we use in '09, where we just put the most athletic guys on the field. Just heresay and speculation though.

I am just happy that they are going to be giving Santos more playing time. If we do this now, he will only become a better player. I think he is electric as it is, just hasn't been given that much of an opportunity.

I like Charles Jackson as a FS myself.

Nope. I don't think he is traveling with the team this weekend. This is what I've heard.

He may be a little small for that position, but I have never understood why he was not seeing time at corner. He was a High-School All-American cornerback, was he not? I know he played very well in the Army All-American game a couple years ago.
