Warrior10 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Josh Banderas gained about 10 pounds in the offseason and said he still feels comfortable playing at a little bit of a higher weight. He’s been working at the BUCK linebacker spot, and the change was made in order to get Banderas and Michael Roseon the field together at the same time. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Nathan Gerry is working exclusively as safety now. That was a change that both Gerry and the staff agreed on following the end of the season. In moving back to safety, Gerry said he actually gained 10 pounds, and is up around 215. That means he played last season at right around 205 pounds. He said he feels comfortable at the spot, and that he worked this winter on loosening his hips — something that he said he has long needed to work on. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Former Husker and NFL linebacker Barrett Ruud has been around the team as he decides whether he wants to get into coaching at some point. “He’s a volunteer,” Pelini said. “He’ll be out here and observe. He missed football and wanted to see if this is something he wants to do in the future.” Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Defensive tackle Kevin Williams is back practicing after tearing his ACL last year during fall camp. That’s two major knee injuries for Williams, who said he briefly considered hanging things up last fall, but decided to stick with it after conversations with his mother and Jamal Turner, his closest friend on the team.

Warrior10 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Jamal Turner took the bulk of his reps at wide receiver on Wednesday. “He’s worked at quarterback, it’s not like that’s something new,” Pelini said. “He’s a wide receiver we could have a package for if we need to.” Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Some practice video and Pelini interview via OWH Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Cornerback Jonathan Rose didn’t practice Wednesday because of what Pelini called “a class issue.” Boaz Joseph got reps with the first team in Rose’s place at cornerback. Sounds like it was a scheduling conflict as opposed to a grade issue (just for clarification). Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 CJax looking good at Nickel according to Warren. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Sounds like the option continues to be a staple of the offense and TA & AA have it down well. And more screen passes!!! Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Some practice video and Pelini interview via OWH Jet sweep will be a huge part of the O...First 4 plays of video all incorporated it. I know it is just a practice video but Stanton passes looked crisp and with good motion...not that it says much, just worthy of noting. Quote Link to comment

Warrior10 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 24m Gregory reiterated it wasn't a tough decision to come back. "And it sounds crazy, but it's going to be tough this year. I love Nebraska." Don't play with us like that... Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 26m Gregory won't tell weight. "Everyone wants to know ... but I think it's going up. The coaches are pleased with what I'm doing." #Huskers Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 28m Randy Gregory on trying to put on weight: "I like to eat (but) I'm a picky eater. ... I like to eat, I just get full real quick." #Huskers Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 28m First practice in pads. Spirited at the end. Alex Lewis-Randy Gregory battles contributed to it. Lewis getting time with the 1s at LT. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 3m Pelini said his young linebackers "are in another galaxy than they were a year ago, but with a long way to go." Quote Link to comment
