Saunders Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 It was an interesting discussion by a former Husker great that probably wouldn't be appreciated by the Husker fans that were still crapping in their diapers in the 90's. Lawrence Phillips was a Husker great too. Should we call him in prison and ask his opinion? Quote Link to comment

JTrain Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Since I don't listen to these shows regularly, I haven't developed any particular hatred for him. Six minutes in I haven't disagreed with anything. Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I usually think Jason is a tool, but he actually had some legit points in between his glory days comparisons. Quote Link to comment
Judoka Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Not enough rapists? Sadly, my brother-in-law thinks that this is exactly what we need to restore us back to football prominence...criminals and thugs. 1 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Posted this deadspin thread - Scott Shanle is on Unsportsmanlike Conduct right now. He said he doesn't remember his team in the early 2000's ever taking frustrations out on fans and media. Shanle said they understood Nebraska had a tradition of excellence, and any criticism they got for losing was because they weren't upholding that tradition. Quote Link to comment
FriendlyLurker2007 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 that is about as nice as jason peter has been to bo, that ive heard over the years. good listen imo thx Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Shanle on teams not doing full speed practices (paraphrasing) - players don't learn proper tackling angles and don't get comfortable making adjustments to an offensive player's movements. Running up and just hip tackling a player doesn't recreate the gameday speed, so when players try to make a full speed tackle in a game, they're not as prepared as they could be.

rocketlb Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think Peter has some very valid points here. I agree, Bo shouldn't be fired as a direct result of this audio "coming to light". However, the fact that we have a captain coming out and saying that there wasn't anything the team could do, and that the team always seems so flat on the sidelines are causes for concern, IMO. Sure, he talks about "the glory days" a lot. But, so do a lot of people who post on here (myself included). I don't think he's a tool because of it. I think he just likes to remind people what the standard is b/c as Paul in WI pointed out, most younger fans have little perspective on those teams. Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately, if one goes back and looks at the 95' roster it's somewhat hard to argue with this logic. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 With Jason Peter it is not the message that is always bad, it is the way it was presented. The same goes for Tommie Frazier and Bo Pelini. Sometimes all three of them have no tact at all. Jason Peter also talks about the glory days so much because that was the best time in his life and he likes hearing himself talk about it. My problem is that Jason Peter thinks all the problems with Nebraska football are very easily solved. I just don't think that is the case. The football being played in 2013 is completely different than what was played in 1995. It was also different in 1975. Things are done differently now than then because the game is different and players are different. Sure, a lot of the attitude and way of thinking from 1995 would translate to todays game, but you just can't turn it on like that. 1 Quote Link to comment

Are you serious, we still don't do ANY full speed practices with contact? WOW Quote Link to comment

People act like the forward pass was invented in 2000. 2 Quote Link to comment
Goal-line Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I like Jason Peter. He knows what it takes to win. He knows what he is talking about. I like what he had to say about player leadership. It truly is up to the players. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I don't see why people give Jason Peter so much sh#t. Very compelling commentary on our current situation today. I agree. I've always liked him and respected what he has to say and enjoy hearing what he has to say. Thanks for posting this. Good stuff. Love the Chris Spielman bit too. Another guy who I really like and respect. Quote Link to comment
