Looks like we will be going back to the Bo Pelini approach. 1 Quote Link to comment

The people criticizing his effort are exaggerating a lot, and hell Nick Gates was drafted. Do you think Stanley Jean Baptiste was a better corner than Lamar? Similar size, similar production (although Lamar has a year and a half of it, SJB only had one), and I'd bet Lamar runs faster than SJB's 4.61. He went in the 2nd round. Pretty sure he wasn't. Tanner lee was the only husker taken that year. Quote Link to comment

Drutopian Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The NFL loves big corners like Lamar. The only way he doesn't get drafted is if he pulls a Dennard Quote Link to comment
ActualCornHusker Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Lamar is really the feel-good story of this staff so far. Prior to this staff arriving (and for the first 4-5 games with this staff) LJ was a guy that got picked on and torched by opposing QBs/WRs. I give him a ton of credit for sticking around and improving after he got benched last year vs Purdue. It would have been really easy for him to pick up and leave, but he didn't. Kudos to him for that. As far as this team moving forward without him, I think we'll be just fine with either Cam Taylor-Britt or Braxton Clark (or Newsome, etc) moving into his CB spot. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Clark is gonna be a good one IMO. Where does Taylor Britt play next year? Should be intriguing. Quote Link to comment

Clark, Bootle, Williams, Taylor-Britt, and Dismuke +NPG, Wright, Farmer, & Newsome. Plus whoever comes in from this class. That will be the deepest secondary we’ve had since 2009 or 2010. I’m sure we’ll see some attrition but still. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 If we don't land some OLBs, we might see Farmer and Wright move down sooner then expected. 1 Quote Link to comment

Wouldn’t be mad at all at that. Speed galore. Something the entire LB has lacked. Wonder if they may bring in Cam as an OLB on 3rd and long situations. Quote Link to comment

I think a lot of people are too quick to call someone a bust. Like we all know that this year's O-line sucks, but they should all be back next year, and I don't think it's hopeless for these players. Of course, if you bring in a grad transfer or something and they're not contributing a whole lot, you can probably call them a bust pretty quickly. But at least you're not stuck having them on scholarship for 4-5 years. 1 hour ago, ActualCornHusker said: Lamar is really the feel-good story of this staff so far. TBH I'd still give that award to Ozigbo. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think Cam will be the nickel and can also play Dime linebacker (where Lee played in the first half against Purdue) and Williams and Dismuke will be the starting safeties. 1 Quote Link to comment

That would be ideal. Would give us alot of depth and flexability. We may play nickle out of preference. Quote Link to comment
