knapplc Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Here's how the depth chart has changed since Akron. Lots of movement, lots of guys gone and guys in new places. A couple of well-earned demotions, and one baffling non-change, as noted below. The question marks are based off this Frost comment (and #5's play so far this year). Maybe that comment didn't mean what I thought it meant, but it sure seemed like Frost was saying Weinmaster was taking over at MLB. 2 Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Fine by me. Young seems to put himself more often out of the play. Usually chasing ball carriers from behind instead of attacking from ahead. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 To me, Frost was saying that they need better players but are going to go with guys that are dependable and do the right things. He uses Weinmaster as an example of a guy they think they can depend on but may not be an elite talent. Full context: 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Yeah, I don't think he was saying that Young has been demoted. Just that Weinmaster has earned a chance to play. We haven't seen as much out of Miller lately, have we? 1 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Young appears to slow, is out of place and seems to have digressed from his Freshman year. 1 Quote Link to comment

Young doesn't look like he's too slow when he's over ran plays or running in the opposite direction of the play. 2 Quote Link to comment

Bodies going in opposite direction of each other make both look faster as they separate - planets in space, rockets and football players. 1 Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Mazour as the #2 WR? Trying to get him on the field? Hard work and trust maybe? Agree about Weinmaster. I think Frost was giving him a compliment, but also saying long term we are going to need other guys to win with. IMHO, in the context of beating "a Wisconsin". Said the guys we have now we can win games with. Frost isn't an idiot nor an a-hole who will throw the kids under a bus. He knows what he has and doesn't have. Everyone on this board does. He's making moves as evidenced by Knapps released roster. When is the last time we actually had this many changes on a roster. In all 3 phases of the game, this far into the season.

Toe Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Frankly, just looking at the list of names in the LB corps, my most common reaction is "Who?" Most of them ain't exactly having their names called much. Barry I think we're all pretty happy with right now (as happy as we are with any of the defense, anyway), but that's about it. Gifford has his strengths, but he ain't the kind of pass rusher you want from a 3-4 OLB. Really none of them are, but then, Tannor is the only guy on that whole LB depth chart that was recruited for a 3-4. Quote Link to comment

And Ferguson would probably be in the Top 5 as well had he not missed time due to injury. They are also #1, #2 and #3 in Tackles for Loss and #1 in sacks. So perhaps you just need to listen more closely. Quote Link to comment
