Xmas32 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Payne has a tremendous motor at OLB. Wouldn't be shocked if he led the team in sacks this year. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 That Scott Frost won’t be our head coach next year that I will have free Saturday’s in the foreseeable future I don’t have to care if we lose anymore 1 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 This team doesn't quit and is talented. Unfortunately the Frost strategy of throwing stuff at a wall and hoping something sticks will hold them back. Quote Link to comment

You force one into a similar situation, and there will be a similar outcome. AM is still a project lmao.. Convert Martinez to Wr it worked for Illinois. Quote Link to comment

You force one into a similar situation, and there will be a similar outcome. When put into action, McCaffrey led Nebraska to a win against Penn State and a loss to Illinois. So his winning percentage was slightly better than Adrian's, fwiw. Had Frost been forced to create a more Luke-friendly offense, do the Huskers go worse than 3-5 last season? We have Frost and Adrian for the rest of the season, and I can't believe I'm about to say this but yeah, there is still a believable scenario for them to both reclaim respectability. But getting the backup QBs a situational series or two, or even a flat out start, shouldn't be off the table. Every team starts the season one play away from depending on their back-up quarterback.

Dansker Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The bright spot to me was the pass rush. I was happy to see that. I think we have some good run support safeties but some are a liability coverage wise (not gonna name names.) some of the receivers we have are promising if they had someone who could get them the ball on a consistent and accurate basis and not miss wide open throws.

Seemed like more sacks and TFL than all last season. One surprise was the lack of seeing/hearing JoJo....Any ideas on him? Quote Link to comment

ZRod Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Defense was exactly what we expected and then some. Loved the pressure they got and the pain inflicted on QBs. I don't mind a roughing call once a game if they keep bringing it. They did enough to win. WRs were a refreshing change of pace when they were targeted. Need more TE plays! 1 Quote Link to comment

He flat out missed the second one. I didn't see the first one. Assuming it was going to be made, I made a run for the refrigerator. 1 Quote Link to comment
