Mavric Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just now, Red Five said: Who all do we have a tackle now? Gates Sr Jr Knevel Sr Conrad Jr - possibly but mostly been on the interior this year Gaylord So Jaimes Fr Sichterman RFr Walker RFr - I think he's an interior guy Generally not great. I haven't seen any clarification on that Farniok tweet. I know he took some reps at guard earlier in the year. And there were rumblings when he was in HS that he'd probably end up inside.

ladyhawke Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I hope Tre gets his medical redshirt approved. Man, we've had a lot of injuries this year. Love that Gifford kid. He's got that Husker swagger that I hope he continues to spread around to others on the team. I sure do miss that Husker swag. That toughness that made other teams dread playing you because they knew in advance that we would destroy them. 1 Quote Link to comment

Gates is starting to hit the "Jamal Turner category" to me, aka guys who feel like they were at NU for 7 years. I don't know why I listed Conrad, must be b/c he played at OT for a bit last year. For some reason I thought he was Knevel's backup this year, but that was Farniok. I would think with Walker's frame (6'8") he would have OT written all over him, unless he doesn't have the feet.

Yeah, Conrad had been playing RT last year and I think to start out this year (maybe just in Spring ball?) but has been inside for awhile now. You might be right on Walker. For some reason I had him as an inside gut but I didn't remember him being that tall. That height would be more like the size of a tackle. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Looking through Walker's recruiting profile, I had noted that it "sounded like" we were taking him as a tackle for the time being but thought there was a decent chance he gets moved inside down the line. Of course, he was listed at 6-6 at the time. If he's grown a couple more inches that could change things. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Finally see a little more on the Farniok comment. Not a direct quote but the coaching staff seems to think he's a "better fit" at guard long term. He got some reps there during the bye week. Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Langs press conference summed up (paraphrased badly by me): I have no idea how to call a RB screen vs an odd front, but I'm going to do it anyhow. Quote Link to comment
