Walt11 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Nebraska's pass rush needs a shot in the arm. In my opinion, Guy Thomas should be playing. At the very least, he should be playing in obvious passing situations. 1 Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Just cuz he is a different body or have you seen something at practice? Quote Link to comment
chainsaw Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I'm going out on a limb; but if he'd showed any sign of being any better pass rusher then we have playing ahead of him, i think he'd be playing! I'm fairly sure that the coaching staff doesn't just push great players down the depth chart to keep them from playing! Quote Link to comment
Huskinator Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Is this just simply because he's a freshmen that was highly rated coming in???? Trust the staff, they're playing the best players they have. Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Shot in the arm? We send 3-4 dudes, get no pressure, drop 8 into zone and they find the holes. This isn't what happens every time, but it's frequent enough. Quote Link to comment

It's not talent, it's scheme and the inability to adjust until it's too late. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Guy Thomas IMO is WAY better than Alex Davis. He should be playing Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 The pass rush is non existent. Might as well try something Quote Link to comment

In the Deed the Glory Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 What have you seen and where have you seen it, specifically, that makes you so sure about this? If you are just going off of HS film or his star rankings then I'm sorry, but we have two coaches with LBs. I think they know more than we do. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm fairly sure that the coaching staff doesn't just push great players down the depth chart to keep them from playing! Why would anyone suggest coaches pushing great players down the depth chart? It's called making adjustments, which coaches do all time. Didn't Farniok look much better yesterday than Knevel ever did? How did Knevel ever beat Farniok out? Wasn't Zach Sterup a better OG than Kondolo? It happens. Doesn't have to be some conspiracy. Some players are just better when the lights come on than they show in practice. Quote Link to comment

I'm going by his high school film against arguably the best high school football players in the country, Bray's comments about him in fall camp, and Parella's eye for DL talent. It's just speculation. Nothing wrong with a bit of speculation is there? Quote Link to comment

They are trying to cover receivers 30 yards downfield. Quote Link to comment
