I know people have talked about needing the bigger bodied guys (hopefully Manning and Betts), but last year we were small and slow. Obviously JD and Wan'Dale have the speed, but Noa/Warner did not and Williams didn't play fast. TE also didn't have a lot of speed. Even when the bigger guys aren't on the field, a WR group of JD, Wan'Dale, Chase, Nance, Houston, and the new guys (Fleming/Brown/Nixon) has enough speed to work without size. Throw in Manning/Betts and I'm very excited. I think the biggest problem with Warner was that he was hurt all season. He’s willing to block and fast enough to get open. Quote Link to comment
Husker in WI Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Darrion was asked at the combine who's the best player coming back to Nebraska that we'll all be talking about next year. Darrion, no hesitation: "Wan'Dale Robinson." Reporter: "Why's that?" Darrion: "Have you seen him?" Interview from this point on is pretty much all about Wan'Dale. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

His upside makes up for that thankfully. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Watching that play live from north end zone, Wan'Dale ran right at us - and I had no idea how he got the ball until I watched the replay. At first I thought it may have been a direct snap. That's the kind of creative play-calling I expected from Frost & Co. Here's hoping we get more like that as the O Line gets better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm glad we have his brother but man do I wish we had this guy for another year. He was so solid at nose this year I'd love to see him with some great linebacker play 2 2 Quote Link to comment
