MichiganDad3 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Should Nathan Gerry be a LB? He is nearly the same size as two great husker LBs, and he has the speed. We have plenty of DBs, I say get the speed on the field. Nathan Gerry 6'2" 210 lbs Lavante David 6'1" 210 lbs Demorrio Williams 6'1" 215 lbs Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Well, that's what is happening. With all that has been said.........wouldn't be too surprised to see him on the field in a few packages. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I may get bashed for this, but I think he is small for a LB in the B1G. I understand that they said the same thing about David, but David had a knowledge of the game you can't teach. He always found his way to the ball. I am not saying that Gerry can't or doesn't have that, but we have yet to see that in the collegiate level. If he gains some weight, I would agree with him playing at LB, but 210lbs isn't going to cut it, unless he has the intangibles that David had. Williams played in the Big 12, where offensive lines weren't as big, and speed become more favorable over there. I am not taking anything away from him, but it would be interesting to see if he could do what David did. 1 Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 He definitely has the speed...... If he has the instincts and the tackling ability......I don't see a reason why not to let him play at his current weight. I think a few more lbs wouldn't hurt him, but I like SPEED. hehe Quote Link to comment

HuskerNationNick Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Peso, please or safety if CJax doesn't get it held down. I originally thought that was where they were going to try him out at, which IMO, is the best position for him where we have a lot of uncertainty. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Bo usually redshirt decision like last year Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 IMO 210 is big enough. NU got killed by speed last year. L. David was listed at 210 for NU, but he is listed at 233 for Tampa Bay. He doesn't look 23 lbs heavier to me. I am all for Gerry gaining a few pounds and playing LB as long as he doesn't slow down. I just don't want to see speed sitting on the bench while opposing RBs and TEs drag across the middle for big gains. Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Idk if it's relevant, but Gerry weighs 225. You should keep yourselves up to date IMO Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Idk if it's relevant, but Gerry weighs 225. You should keep yourselves up to date IMO Where did you find that? The link below has him listed at 210. If he is 225, then he should be a LB. http://www.huskermax.com/rosters/ Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Idk if it's relevant, but Gerry weighs 225. You should keep yourselves up to date IMO I would also know where you found that. I did my research and I found nothing that wasn't far off from the OP, besides Omaha's Huskers.com: 210 http://www.huskers.c...TCLID=206284439 24/7: 210 http://247sports.com...han-Gerry-20116 Rivals: 206 http://sports.yahoo....an-Gerry-136354 DataOmaha: 218 http://dataomaha.com...er/nathan-gerry HuskerMax: 210 mentioned above Journal Star's latest weight mention: 212 lbs http://journalstar.c...1a4bcf887a.html I know Scout said something on Wednesday about him getting time at Buck. Not sure if they mention weight, as I am not a member though. Quote Link to comment
