kchusker_chris Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Remember when we moved Cooper from Safety to corner, then back to safety, then to LB, and then back to safety again? Imagine how much better he'd be by now if we'd just left his ass alone. what's the fun in that? agree w/ u though. this happens quite a bit. sometimes it works out great (Cody Glenn, SJB), other times not so much. surely the player has a major part of that decision - then again i don't think Heard was too happy about his switch.

As you allude to, there's no way to know if Cooper would be better, the same, or worse if he'd been at safety the whole time. Quote Link to comment
Blood Eagle Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I thinks thats good for a player. Specially when they are young they have to learn the whole play book and when they settle down to one position they can be the field general because they know where everybody should be as well as everybodys assignment Edit: dare I say its good to be "multiple" Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 SEEN: Josh Kalu stepping in front of a badly judged pass by Ryker Fyfe. Fyfe was trying to force the ball into traffic. HEARD: “Zack (Darlington) has really improved from spring. Like night and day. Really pleased with what he’s done. And AJ (Bush). AJ’s been a pleasant surprise as well. He’s a talented young man.” — Beck on the young quarterbacks http://www.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/camp-chatter-seen-and-heard-at-husker-practice-aug/article_2dd693a2-21c3-11e4-8237-001a4bcf6878.html Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Jamal Turner spoke about the QB's on theticket.fm. He speaks about how older QB's last year didn't take coaching and that since we have QB's willing to learn, they are really becoming more team oriented and not 'going for a home run' every single time. http://www.theticketfm.com/drop-the-mike/huskers-wr-jamal-turner-one-on-one-with-mike-welch/ 1 Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Turner loves to throw the QBs under the bus... So did greasypalm Quincy. He liked throwing one quarterback in particular under the bus despite his own shortcomings. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Probably makes ya feel better if you blame someone else for having 3 catches per year. 2 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Turner loves to throw the QBs under the bus... So did greasypalm Quincy. He liked throwing one quarterback in particular under the bus despite his own shortcomings. I don't know about this one. “There's going to be tough catches that we should make, but, at the same time, there's going to be tough passes the quarterback should make, as well.” Holding someone to a similar level of accountability as yourself is kind of the opposite of throwing someone under the bus despite your own shortcomings. 5 Quote Link to comment

Quincy dropped a number of footballs in the Minnesota game. When the reporters asked him about it (I can't find the actual press conference at the moment) he said "ok how many drops did I have but how many of them were good throws?" or something of the sort, then finishing with saying, "You're trying to get me to say something that I'll get in trouble if I say." Obviously directed towards Taylor specifically. Yet Taylor didn't play again, and Quincy continued to drop a good number of footballs thrown his way. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 "ok how many drops did I have but how many of them were good throws?" He didn't ask how many were good throws. "You're trying to get me to say something that I'll get in trouble if I say." Yes, he was being baited to throw Taylor under the bus, and rightly could have, but chose not to. Quote Link to comment
