I'd disagree with pretty much all except for Adrian, but the ones that make absolutely no sense whatsoever: Honas - People forget how solid he has been at MLB. I know Reimer and Henrich are both studs, but it would be great to get Honas back and get an extra body to rotate Tannor - Probably has been the most improved player on the defense. He's probably a year away from Dawson coaching him up to be an effective pass rusher, so I'm very excited to see what he can do next year D Thomas & J Riley - Both have been really good at times this year and should be the 1&2 at nose if Daniels heads to the NFL Sichterman - perhaps hasn't been special, but you honestly just expect addition by subtraction here? I really don't get it... 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I really don't get it... I saw this list and couldn't believe it myself. Many of those guys are really good and in the plans for next year. I will say this though. We need to trim the fat off our roster and especially at offensive line. There are too many non-contributors and 1AA talents. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment

whateveritis1224 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Thomas comes back and he’s starting in Stilles spot next year. He’s had a good number of splash plays this year (he was the dlineman who slashed in that helped Domann cause the goal line fumble against northwestern and he recovered said fumble). He’s a great backup this year and will be a good starter next year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I thought Alante was recovering from being injured two seasons in a row, not in the doghouse. Was he in trouble for something? 2 Quote Link to comment

I think the point some of these guys are making is we need quality depth. Someone who comes in and we don’t miss a beat or not much. We don’t need guys on the roster who are bad. It’s a wasted scholarship, wasted reps in practice, time to move on. I hate to say it but it’s a two way street. Players want the portal to leave when they want to do what’s best for them. Programs need to start doing what’s best for them as well 1 Quote Link to comment

All four get pressure too. We can’t afford to get rid of any of them. Clements plays on special teams and is moving up the depth chart. It’s the offensive line for me that needs to start letting guys go. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

He actually has played a lot but the ball doesn’t get thrown to him. They’re trying to teach him the nuances of playing receiver, which I understand, but they do not do a good job of utilizing his speed. He plays mostly on the outside. I’m actually expecting to see more of him these next two weeks. I think he’s ready to assert himself. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment

NoLongerN Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 For me, I would move on from every punter and kicker. I would also move on from Corcoran. Perhaps he can be "trained up", yes, then get a good coach who can do that. It's like Remember The Titans with that guy, he's just getting beat every play [put in Pete' ... he's better]. Ryan Gosling [thanks for the correction FunHusker] was the actor who played cornerback that said to play Pete' cause he couldn't compete against these guys. 2 Quote Link to comment
