True2tRA Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 How did he get hurt?S&C Staff screwed him up. Yup, those m'fers did a job on poor ole DPE. Sumbitches. Ha! I mean, did he roll it or break it or land funny? Epley got angry. You wouldn't like Epley when he gets angry. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Pretty spot on, imo: Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 This is worth a touchdown per game I would think, possible more. This is a kids whole offseason worth of work down the crapper. Man I hope he comes back as the same DPe. Foot injuries are very shaky. Can linger for your entire life. Damn what a blow to this kid and to this team. Really hope he makes a speedy recovery, for this teams sake and for his. Makes all those expectations conversations prior to seeing a single snap seem kind of useless doesn't it? In my opinion, it certainly does...... Yes, we saw what happen to TM with his foot injury - no senior season. He tried to come back but couldn't. I was really looking to see him on jet sweeps and the return game. Do we have anyone who can step in wt similar ability - any of the new redshirts or true frosh? Quote Link to comment

BaytownHusker Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Who are the 8 wr's out? Get Jordan Stevenson running those wr screens and let sweeps.. Oh crap aint he in a boot also? Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 has anybody mentioned strength and conditioning as being the culprit yet? That was fun last year. I don't think anyone wants to get on the bad side of the S & C coach at this point Why do you think that is? Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Dang, tons of injuries on the Wideout front. I actually tend to agree with whoever said redshirt him if he isn't healthy by the Minnesota game. Absolutely do not rush him back for the Wisky game if he isn't healthy, that'd be a mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Did anybody think that DPE was going to be THAT much of a difference maker with a new staff and new schemes to learn? Yes. Me! Me! I did! I did! 1 Quote Link to comment
Whistlebritches Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 DPE was a dynamic and special punt returner and I hope he gets back to that. However, I do want to remind people that Bo changed how he was handling the punt return unit last year and the way they blocked it gave the return man more time and space to run. Now, I hope Reed knows what he is doing and has a good scheme on returns so that it gives our guys a chance to make a move and a return. Prior to last year, our scheme for punt returns defied logic. Exactly right. You can't dismiss the speed and talent that DPE brought to the field but there was a clear change in how special teams was being addressed last year. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 He had almost 200 more return yards than Lockett from KSU. 34 returns to 21 and DPE averaged over 17 YPR. That flips the field. His return ability and fear of him actually getting a return served us well last year. Teams started to scheme away from him. He had the uncanny ability to simply plant the foot, make the read and get upfield. No dancing around. he understood the cardinal rule of returns in simply catching the ball and make the first guy miss. Get north and south quick. You can't teach that. His loss will be felt. Thats almost 20 yards the O has to make up in field position for 34 more plays than they had to last year. Thats almost 600 more yards the O needs to make up for his production. No small feet or factor...... Quote Link to comment
Tomhusker64 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If he is redshirted it will only hurt the team. Chances are he will enter the draft after next season anyway, so might as well get what games he can give us this season too. Quote Link to comment
Tomhusker64 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Presuming he is back to his old self next season, of course. Quote Link to comment
