Moiraine Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Sorry, but I view this guy as a disapppointment. Creating dissent last year by not "buying in" and not going to class this year and letting his team down.I think the whole "buying in" thing was overblown in 2015, but that's just me. Gerry's INT's against Wisconsin enabled NU to take that game to OT, and he played well the rest of the season. Yes, him not going to class all season is very dumb, but he's only one player on a team of over 100 players. All it takes is one bad apple to spoil the entire barrel.Is that saying actually true? Like, if you have one spoiled apple are the other ones now bad too?The saying is true. One bad apple can and will spoil all the rest if left in the barrel. *Edit* You can save the barrel, or most of it, by removing the bad one(s) in time. However, left alone, that one bad apple WILL spoil all the rest. Learned something new today. Apples are a$$hole$. Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Doing what he does.......... I think his draft position will surprise some folks..... I think he will go higher than some think. 1 Quote Link to comment
famoustitles Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 he appears to be performing well so far at the senior bowl practices. I imagine he'll get a combine invite and really impress there. He was a good sprinter in high school if I remember correctly, and should impress with the lifts His stock appears to be rising. I wish him nothing but the best. (Hopefully he'll get drafted to a super bowl contender and help our streak) Quote Link to comment

He won his second straight 200-meter state title as a senior in 2013. He also won the 100 meters as a senior, after finishing second as a junior. Gerry set the state record in the 200 meters with a time of 21.52. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm sure 2015 was just Gerry's toxic attitude and not the s#!^^y scheme we were running: Pro Football Focus analyst Steve Palozzolo had Gerry at No. 9 among his players to watch prior to practices beginning, and wrote:“The nation’s No. 2-graded safety in coverage in both 2014 and in 2016, Gerry breaks on the ball as well as any safety in the class. He’s picked off 13 passes and gotten his hands on 11 more over the last three years, showing his playmaking skills on the back end. Gerry cut down on his missed tackles in 2016, finishing with seven after combining to miss 25 over 2014 and 2015, and that improvement was important in his development as an all-around player.”Following one workout, Pro Football Focus also noted Gerry showing “good movement ability and range on the back end for a player who has already shown NFL-caliber instincts and tackling ability when he is in the box.”Optimum Scouting after Tuesday’s practice noted that Gerry “had a few nice grabs when the defensive backs transitioned from a backpedal to a turn-and-run. The Nebraska senior showed no missteps when changing direction as he cradled the ball over his shoulder a few times.” OWH Quote Link to comment

Spoiled for 9 games, magically fresh for a stretch of 12 games, then suddenly spoiled again for the last 5. Quote Link to comment
