CornHunka Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I was running errands this morning and caught the beginning of Husker Hangover with Matt Vzal on 1620 the zone. Matt starts out by saying he's not going to jump on Bruce Reed (the Fo Fiddy thread covers that topic nicely), but he cannot understand Husker fans getting on the other coaches, such as Coach Cav and Coach Brey. I don't either. Coach Cav is working with a piece-meal offensive line and has all year. Walk ons who probably shouldn't even be playing in mopup time are starting and playing a ton of minutes. Give him a year or two so he can get his guys playing. The 2017 offensive line will be a strength of the team, marky my words. Coach Brey, I think, is one of the stars of the Husker coaching staff. He did great things last year with limited number of players and this year, Rose-Ivy and Banderas are playing tremendous football in the latter part of the season. In 2017, only Dedrick Young will be returning, but the linebackers will be more athletic and probably better. Plus Brey is an A-1 recruiter. What's the deal? 2 Quote Link to comment

cm husker Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 What walkons are playing a ton of minutes but not starting? I ask because it's been cav's stated policy to not substitute during games unless it's a blowout. And we haven't had any of those. I still fundamentally disagree with those who claim this OL is piecemeal. There's a lot of talent there, especially relative to most other OLs. I will grant that his OC has done very little to help him and his unit out, though. Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Because people are angry about Trump and are taking it out on our position coaches. Thanks, Trump. 2 Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The criticism of Read is warranted imo. But Cav and Brey have been doing great with what they were given, especially Cav. The OL is been beat up all year and it's actually played pretty well outside of a few games. 2 Quote Link to comment

I think Cav is getting the brunt of the former staff recruiting misses like Johnson, Painter and Whitaker. I do agree there's talent, but its young. 1 Quote Link to comment

huskerfan92 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 People are complaining about Bray? Dude has helped turn Banderas into an All-Conference caliber linebacker. Cav and Read I understand Quote Link to comment

Scratchtown Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I read one CM Husker post for the first time in quite some time and realized again why he's on ignore. Cardinal Mooney Husker = ???? 4 Quote Link to comment
GBRHouston Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I like Cav. He has been a recruiting god so far. Sure, our line isn't perfect, but just wait until we plug some of his players in to criticize him. Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Pretty much everyone has been earning their keep sans Bruce Read. Cav's offensive line has been fine considering it's context - the run game has had moments of struggle, but it's lacking an elite back and healthy starters, and we're still tied for 5th in the country in sacks allowed through 11 games. But to answer your question, because fans don't know jack about coaching football, but fans are convinced that they know quite a bit about coaching football. 3 Quote Link to comment

I think our next elite back is going to be Tre Bryant. Quote Link to comment
