Dorothy Lynch would also probably do in a pinch. A Dorothy Lynch/Ranch combo would be so good we'd win an NC within 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment

Baptize Scotts son in Dorothy Lynch and the entire staff in ranch. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Sounds like Manning has been doing everything this off-season. Definitely a good sign. And Toure has looked the part ... at least as much as you can before any actual practices happen. 7 Quote Link to comment

uberism Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 This SHOULD be the most talented TE/WR combo that Nebraska has had in years, many years. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 This is a pretty interesting observation. If it turns out to be correct, we'll see a much different look that we've seen for awhile... Quote Link to comment

The OC wants as much size as he can get and putting Toure in at the slot spot, with his ability to stress the D down the seam, it opens up the running game. the D will have to decide if they put a linebacker on him or a DB. For Wandale it was simple, a linebacker in most cases could handle him since he was small and didn't have elite speed, just shiffty quickness. 2 Quote Link to comment

If Frost finally has all his pieces, maybe this is the year we see the actual potential in a Frost team at NU. Quote Link to comment

But I don't think they'd be starting him there if we didn't feel pretty decent about our other options on the outside. The coaches have made a concerted and vocal effort about wanting more size on the outside. And that's what's been missing the last two years. I'm pretty confident that's a huge priority for this year so I don't think they're putting their most accomplished guy inside unless they like their other options. 3 Quote Link to comment
J-MAGIC Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 "Big Slots" have been rising in popularity in the NFL for a while (think Michael Thomas and JuJu) because they allow you to body a slot corner if they choose to play you small but still get separation if they choose to play you with a linebacker or safety. That being said it's kind of surprising for us considering so many of the slot guys in the Oregon/Frost system also have duties as a ball carrier, which doesn't seem like Toure's game at all. I wonder if we're going to see Toure in passing situations and Brown/Nixon in more of the Duck R role. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
