HuskerMerc44 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 DONU with a pure Passer. I told my woman I'd die before NU got a passer. Looks like I outlived my promise. Guess I'm a liar. Were you drunk from '05 to '08?Some of us tried forgetting those years. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Do we have the best qbs in the Big Ten West, or is that yet to be determined? Based off the depth charts I would say we have the best quarterback in the B1G west. In the conference I would say say we are behind OSU, PSU and Mich at the qb spot. Quote Link to comment
jdhusker Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I know he's older, but Lee just appears to be so much bigger than O'Brien. Tanner Lee = 6'4" 205 lbsPOB = 6'4" 230 lbs Per roster of Huskermax.com. I saw POB on campus and there's no way he is 6'4. I'd say he is 6'1 at best. There's no way he is any taller than Armstrong. He is for sure 230 tho Quote Link to comment

He is for sure 230 tho He and Tanner Lee are similar heights and they are both around 6'4. POB is taller then Tommy, Patrick can see over the offensive line and all of the recruiting services had him at 6'4. They measure them the players at camps and such, where POB was around 6'4 at all of them. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just watched the BTN Nebraska vs. Oregon in 60. We keep hearing about how accuracy has vastly improved but man that will not take much. To be fair, if Tommy was any less mobile he would have gotten destroyed. That's worrisome. That's the tradeoff and the biggest question for the season. Will having an accurate passer do enough to offset the so-so pass blocking? That said, Armstrong wasn't good at stepping into the pocket, so it's possible he made the pass blocking look worse than it actually was. He tended to jog backwards which often made it easier for the DL to get close to him. Then he'd do his spin move and launch the ball into the air. 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I liked that spin move. Watching a DE zoom in for a huge shot on Tommy, only to see him pull off yet another Houdini escape and the DE whiff on thin air - that was fun. 2 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 OMG!!!! OUR QBS ARE HAVING TO GET OUTSIDE COACHING!!!! Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Both quarterbacks got workouts in over spring break. Patrick O’Brien spent time with Steve Calhoun in Los Angeles and Tanner Lee worked with George Whitfield in San Diego. Lee is planning to go back to the Archie Manning Camp this spring to get some work in as well. 247 Quote Link to comment
