It was based off Christopher Heady's tweet quoting Tanner Farmer about weeding out players that don't love football and it being reflected on depth chart. Bell went from starter to an -OR- to 2nd string. I don't truly believe Bell doesn't like football or that was the reason he dropped. It appears to me he isn't comfortable with what is being asked of him yet. Needs a bit more time 1 Quote Link to comment

I know the line didn't help much on the 4th and 1 play in the 1st quarter, but Bell can't dance at the LOS on that play. I wasn't surprised when Frost and Held stuck with Ozigbo the rest of the game. I think Bell will still play a lot the rest of the year. Quote Link to comment

The thing that works for Ozigbo is that he just attacks no matter what. He doesn't care what the OL is doing. He knows his responsibility and just does his job. Once Bell gets there, I think he will be lights out 2 Quote Link to comment

I think Bell will still play a lot the rest of the year. Main difference I notice between the two is that Ozigbo just has a lot more experience and ability to find holes. That's really what has separated them. Then the added bonus with Ozigbo is his ability to get yards after contact. I'm glad that I was totally wrong about Oz not having a place in this offense during fall camp. The exact opposite is true. Quote Link to comment

I feel like that is going to happen with Freedom, Mick, and Young. I could but I can't remember their names ....seriously, we've had too many that fit this category. Quote Link to comment

Bell could probably do great in high school and JUCO, regardless of o-line performance. Now, he's losing some confidence in where to run. Now, Ozigbo, he goes with one cut and hammers away. Sometimes that works great when the line is doing its job. Sometimes, he just runs into the back of someone, when the line isn't doing its job. I give credit for Oz in cutting weight and improving his play. I still think there will be a solid 3-man rotation with Oz, Bell, and Washington (when he returns from illiness). Quote Link to comment

Crusader Husker Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Is Tanner part of the solution or the problem. Should he be calling people out? I think at times his play is subpar. I know he has a good attitude, but geesh. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 No matter what happens this season at least we have a coach that actually does something when guys are underperforming. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think at times his play is subpar. I know he has a good attitude, but geesh. He hasn't been committing penalties, at least that I've noticed. Gives him some room to talk in my mind - the line as a whole was a lot better last week, although chalk a lot of that up to Purdue not being Michigan. Even the penalty on Foster was extremely questionable, every o-line coach in the country would tell you to fall on the guy if he's down and you don't need to go block someone else. Also I stand corrected - Frost at least implied Conrad would start if healthy, and Farmer does in fact do Center drills during the week. Quote Link to comment
