I probably would have been fired THAT week, for sure. I happen to be starting a new job on Monday, so I have to behave for at least a few months. That mega thread was a lot fun reading up until the Jessica crap. 1 Quote Link to comment

Granted, there have been another 100 or so posts since then, so it was easy to miss. Yeah that's me, late to nearly every party. Quote Link to comment
BoSolich Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 i think you have to say QB. we really have no idea how martinez or gebbia will perform. the bright side is they have 2 pretty good targets in morgan and spielman. Quote Link to comment

I can't say QB is a concern. If one of them were having issues, the race would be over. If both were having issues, the race would be over. The race is still going on, and Bunch won't win...means they're probably doing pretty good. There haven't been any reports by anyone that suggest a lingering concern at the position, just intrigue at which gifted youngster may win it. There are a lot more than two targets as well. This offense will most of the time release 5 into the pattern and every position has guys that make a QB's life easier. Tight end is a position we don't discuss that I think we will be thrilled with. Got so many weapons at so many positions it's hard to say what the best set may be. The staff can get real creative. Quote Link to comment

With Frost's track record I'm not too worried about QB, although a bad line can make things hard for any QB. Quote Link to comment

You don't know that. They could be neck and neck and it could be basically a coin flip decision. On the other hand they could know and they're using the perceived competition to motivate. But I've heard players say they don't envy them the decision. Quote Link to comment

Bryant and Washington are beasts but Washington is maybe a 6-8 carry (per game) guy right now. Bell and Ozigbo are serviceable, but not at the level of our top guys. First thing, we of course won’t really know until games are played in order to determine the abilities of our RBs. With that said, everything I’m hearing is both Greg Bell and Devine Ozigbo are better than serviceable. DO has apparently really improved his quickness and speed — and is now considered a home-run threat, as is GB and MW. I’m a bit surprised that TB is not considered a breakaway threat. Isn’t Miles Jones supposed to be? Anyway, I feel real good about the talent we have at RB. Quote Link to comment

STL Husker Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 My biggest concern is that there are too many fans with expectations that are too high and they won't be patient enough with the turnaround. Quote Link to comment

The expectations will always be high, that's what makes a top program. It's important to be fair, though. If we don't convert a 4th down, for instance, understand why we went for it and not just get angry because it's a result you didn't like. Being fair is understanding we have coaches that are constantly trying to evaluate and improve their own decisions, too. 1 Quote Link to comment

The spin is that Frost is giving Gebbia more reps for the sole purpose of pressuring AM to improve. Crazy times. Quote Link to comment

They probably have a rough idea who they think it may be, or a guy they hope is able to keep separating himself, but I don't think we can say with such certainty that they know who the starter is. They've been pretty honest and direct about the team since day one. They've given little to no indication that they're going to BS all of us and the media just for the sake of illusion. I heard a good point the other day that I find myself agreeing with - if TG is going to win this job, he probably knows he has to do it convincingly. Too little separation between he and Martinez probably favors Martinez because a) he was hand-picked by Lord ScoFro himself and b) he has the dynamic athleticism that TG doesn't. That's why I think the longer this competition remains 'fierce' the more likely it is that Martinez gets the nod. 2 Quote Link to comment
