Mavric Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Nice observation from McKewon: A final note on teaching: No matter how loudly or softly Pelini makes a point with a player — and we know Bo's no shrinking violet — he usually punctuates it with a tap on the helmet. That “stick with it” tap is often followed with praise a few plays later. It works. OWH Quote Link to comment

Missed a play, got his butt chewed, couple plays later, he made a big play. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Jordan Westerkamp said the punt return teams have been working on some scheme adjustments to try and provide more blocking for those returning punts. Westerkamp said Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Reilly and Terrell Newby have all been working with the punt return units. Huskers Illustrated Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 From the same update: Among those who didn’t practice Monday were offensive guard Zach Hannon and tight end Max Pirman. Both were wearing walking boots. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan 3m Nebraska has been using a new football this spring from Adidas called the "Rifle Ball" and thus far the players really like it. Quote Link to comment

That is obviously a stock image as it doesn't look 20 years old and thus we would never use it. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 That is obviously a stock image as it doesn't look 20 years old and thus we would never use it. I'm curious if we get some newer balls this year. I wonder if that was a Martinez thing (dang, broke my own rule) and if the new set of QBs have different preferences. Quote Link to comment

I'm curious if we get some newer balls this year. I wonder if that was a Martinez thing (dang, broke my own rule) and if the new set of QBs have different preferences. I am about 90% certain that the balls we have been using weren't "old", just extremely worn. They have buffers or sanders to wear down new balls straight out of the package and different quarterbacks like their footballs to feel different ways. But it's not just a Martinez thing. Zac Taylor liked his footballs worn like that too. Looks like Zac Lee did as well: Quote Link to comment
beanman Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I like old balls as well. Ba da cha! Quote Link to comment

Warrior10 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Steven M. Sipple @HuskerExtraSip 31m One thing that caught my eye Monday was Maliek Collins (6-2, 300) playing some snaps at DE. Put a big move on a OT and went untouched to QB. Thought ever seen Moss news that this could happen. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Armstrong said Taariq Allen and Adam Taylor stood out to him from Saturday’s practice in Memorial Stadium. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Randy Gregory, Michael Rose and Terrell Newby were among the players who weren’t at practice Monday. That’s not out of the ordinary sometimes during the spring when class conflicts sometimes hold players out of practices. Quote Link to comment

Warrior10 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 One of the plays that drew the biggest ‘ooohs’ from the team was when Ameer Abdullah caught a short pass and jukes Zaire Anderson in the open field. Abdullah has had a great spring thus far, and looks even quicker than he was a season ago. Quote Link to comment
