caveman99 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Bell Westerkamp and Burtch. You're welcome. I found these guys. lol Burch really. Westerkamp will lead the team in receiving this year Bell right behind him. Not sure exactly what about Burch you don't like, he had a solid year last year and could easily be the best person to replace Enunwa. Especially his blocking, he also made some really nice, tough grabs. I think his next 2 years will fun to watch. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Burtch has a lot of Swift/Peterson in him. Not that blazing athlete that'll make sportscenters top 10, but man, the guy is reliable and plays his role. Quote Link to comment

Not that blazing athlete that'll make sportscenters top 10, but man, the guy is reliable and plays his role. And with all of our receivers hype, this is what we have been missing IMO. We need a receiver to be "that guy" who is a sure handed go to guy when we need a pass completed. Blazing speed is great, but I also like the guys who can read the coverage and sit on his route, make the first down catch in traffic and keep the chains moving. I hope he and Westerkamp can fill/excel in this role as well as the two you mentioned above. Throwbacks to guys like Steve Largent or Jay Novacek. Not blazers, but ran great routes with hands like glue. Great receivers make an average QB look incredible. I hope that the two above as well as KB, Carter and Jamal really step up and improve that aspect (catching) of their game. It would easily make the difference in 1-2 wins next year IMO. And like the fumbles, has shown itself at the worst times. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 @DarlingtonZack: This is the day I've been waiting for. First college practice! #HokaHey #springball #GBR Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Josh Harvey @JoshHarveyScout 5m Likely the biggest storyline at #Nebraska spring practices day one: JT at QB. More to come on @BigRedReport pic.twitter.com/S6srEsKXkG Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH 1m WR Jamal Turner took snaps at QB today and will continue to do so throughout camp, Bo Pelini said after practice. #huskers Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH 3m Pelini said #huskers coaches asked Turner. NU wants to explore more ways in which Turner's skills can be used. Quote Link to comment
mrandyk Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm confused as to why JT is seeing time at QB now, but not last Fall. 2 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm confused as to why JT is seeing time at QB now, but not last Fall. Well first off, he was hurt 75% of last season. I seriously doubt this is an every down type of deal, but more for a shakeup here and there. A wildcat type of deal. Just to see what he can do here and there to maybe cause a shakeup.

The guy, when healthy, is one explosive player. Throw him back as KR, PR as well. Get the ball to your playmakers. Also gives other teams something to game plan for. The pull of the kool-aid is strong as always this time of year, BUT I like the open practices, this move and others showing Bo is growing as a coach. <img class="UMSRatingIcon" id="ums_img_tooltip" /> Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Would be great if Jamal came out of nowhere to start at QB next year lol 1% chance if that, but still... Quote Link to comment
Vizsla1 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Interesting story line with JT- but do we wish to train another guy who has not played college qb? But then again, I stayed at a Holiday Inn once Quote Link to comment
mwj98 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Haven't been in here in a long time. Just got an update from Espn about Jamal turner getting more snaps at qb. Apologize if already posted. Any info? Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Didn't see this posted yet from 247Sports: "— Harvey Jackson, Jay Guy and Tobi Okuyemi are all no longer listed on Nebraska’s official roster." Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 For those people inquiring, Jamal has practiced at "QB" every year since he has been here, it isn't like he has never practiced that spot here. He practiced it in wild cat as well as some various other offensive sets. Every. Single. Year. This year, however, he is getting an actual shot at the starting spot and it appears that the reps are going to be frequent and consistent, unlike the past. This is going to be an electrifying QB battle. Also - Adam Taylor is absolutely jacked and something about our team has changed weight room wise - they look much more like football players now. I've heard players love Charlton Warren thus far.. They said that they lifted 4 days a week instead of 3 during this off-season Quote Link to comment
