Undone Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Is work really this slow? Do I really have this much time on my hands? Am I really this desperate for football talk? Yes. So I think Ronald Thompkins is #25 and Mills is #26. Is this a Ronald Thompkins sighting? That second number looks like a 5 to me. Quote Link to comment

If he can stay healthy, he could be a dynamic back behind Mills. Probably the best combo of speed, quickness, and strength. His health is his big issue. Quote Link to comment

I think he had the most impressive offer list of any back on our roster. Quote Link to comment

Hopefully he will be able to get rid of the "if he can stay healthy" pre-amble that we use right now with him. 1 Quote Link to comment

Undone Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I think there's one element that can fly under the radar that you don't think about all that much where we've been lacking that past two years: Overall depth at a position that creates competition for the starting spot. There are four RBs (at minimum; I could be forgetting people) that are either true freshmen or redshirt freshmen: -Johnson -Thompkins -Morrison -Scott Any one of these guys could be RB2. Once Washington was outta here last season the overall competition at that spot dropped a lot IMO. Really exciting to think about all that talent fighting for the backup spot behind Mills. 1 Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Ahh... a little bit later than usual this year, but we're finally getting this annual story/headline. Nebraska offense is narrowing schemes down to Huskers' 'bread and butter' Quote Lubick, and run game coordinator Greg Austin, were straightforward offering their ideas. Nebraska’s offense has to decide what it does well, perfect that, stick with it and try to make the execution of those staples as easy as possible for quarterback Adrian Martinez and every other offensive player. That means narrowing the scope of what Nebraska could do to where the talent lies, instead of picking a play out of the scheme bag — say, that shovel sweep pass on first down at Purdue’s 2-yard line. Lubick’s 17-minute chat with reporters had more hints and allusions to the shift. Austin is more blunt. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Jamin Graham and Pheldarius Payne have apparently switched positions. Graham (listed at 6-4, 240) now working at DE. Payne (6-3, 275) now working at OLB. Word is Payne doesn't have the height/arm length to really be a top shelf DE in a 3-4. I would have to think he'll play the strong OLB spot that Davis and Nelson played last year which is basically a stand up DE. Might be a good option against power run teams. Graham is obviously taller but will have to bulk up to play the DE spot. 1 Quote Link to comment
