#52

[Mavric]

 

It definitely looked like he was out of position a lot but I'll have to watch again to see how many were his primary responsibility.

 

But he was second on the team in tackles at 10 including a tied-for-team-high seven solo stops and a TFL. Obviously the MIKE is supposed to make a lot of tackles but any time you get to double-digits, you're getting to the ball pretty well. That's one out of every seven plays.

If I am any opposing team with a QB that even remotely has an arm (yes, that McNeese dude had one UGLY throwing motion), I am finding a formation that forces our D to put Banderas 1 on 1 in coverage with the RB in the flat. The RB wins that 10/10 times for at least 5-6 yards minimum.

 

 

That could be. I don't think there are a lot of MIKEs out there who excel in that situation.

Hey guys. The important thing to remember is that it is all Banderas's fault. Just ask the coaches, they'll tell ya.

 

I mean, it's not like they could have possibly seen he was put in some tough situations and maybe made an adjustment to the package they were running. One guy should easily be able to cover the entire middle of the field, and any passes to the flats, or dump routes, or screens or curl routes or short outs to the TE or ..........

There aren't. And I'm not asking for spectacular coverage, I'm asking for a LB that can keep up and minimize damage. Banderas seemed at least 3-4 yards behind all day.

Best case is that, Gregory returning, takes some of the pressure off the LB's

Funny thing. Bo said they made the adjustments on the sideline to fix the problems, but the players continued to make mistakes.

and oh yea, rushing the passer and totally whiffing so the plays results in a first down and they score.

[Chaddyboxer]

Banderas better get his head out of his ass and stop stealing bikes....Losing Rose at MLB hurt and I had a strong feeling it would.

[Chaddyboxer]

Apart of me is almost glad Rose is talking some smack on the net about #52. Need to light a fire under someone's ass.

Our LBs as a whole did not play well. Banderas is certainly included in that. The tv replayed his whiff in the backfield more than once.

Banderas=Sean Fisher--- always looks a step slower than everyone else.

[Count 'Bility]

And thats really unfortunate. Wasnt ge supposed to be the quicker between him and rose?

 

Which tells me its not an ability issue. Its a mental/psychological one.

I would assume a guy who is involved in stealing a bunch of bikes has mental issues anyways... This kid clearly doesnt get it.

Yep....I think MR-I's comment was about Banderas being a good athlete......but not necessarily a good MLB.

Maybe it's my fault as I bought into the best DL since 2009/2010, reminds me of Dorsey etc,,,,, and then I see the same non-attacking, patty caking stand up and watch DL play. I drank the kook-aid. We have the talent per the talking heads. If not them, then scheme and coaches. Just saying

 

We miss Gregory's threat off the edge right now, but our LB play is by far what hurt most today....not DL.

Who's responsible for our LB development, and subsequent play in your world? Do you truly expect 18'year old kids to walk in and instantly get the "genius" spouted by our staff?

Well, they weren't 18 year old kids, but it's not uncommon to pick it up quickly......those who succeeded immediately included Barrett Ruud, Demorrio Williams and Lavonte David. And to answer your initial question, Bo Pelini.....but you and I both knew that, right?
