Are you pooing yet, or no? 4 hours ago, ActualCornHusker said: I don't know enough in-depth about all that, it's more of a curious question for me. I've heard Damon Benning talk a few times about our tackles playing too tall, and also kind of talking about how he likes shorter D Linemen because they can get under the pads of the OL and create more leverage. But my general read has been that since Frost got here, there have consistently been OL recruits that people have been very excited about, but their play didn't live up to expectations, which mainly points to coaching and development. The OL has played too tall often. Pad level is key on the line. The famous quote is "the low man wins". It's purely physics, the lower you can be the more leverage you maintain over your opponent. Some guys also had a bad habit of stopping their feet, which will get you ran the eff over! Shorter DL maybe ok on the interior, but on the edges you need a guy with length, especially in this day of freakishly tall offensive tackles. You want guys with longer arms to prevent the OL from getting inside. As soon as the OL closes inside the defenders arms it's over, and he can maintain control of their pads/body. It's way easier to hold and control a guy when you're inside and grab the shoulder pads by the armpit. You can twist and turn him any way by you want, or stop his rush by driving the pads up into his neck. A d!(k move which can get you flagged for holding on occasion, but it works. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

So, if we need another D lineman, it would be at Nose Tackle? Drew told Rivals he committed because the coaches told him he would be a 4-3 DT. https://nebraska.rivals.com/news/distance-and-opportunity-were-the-main-factors-for-texas-tech-s-devin-drew 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Body wise Casey is 6'4 300 vs. Drew at 6'2 280. Drew has been more durable though, so assuming he stays healthy, I think it's equal if not greater. Quote Link to comment

Played more snaps than Ben Stille did last year. 2 Quote Link to comment

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 If we can somehow land Lole I'll be extremely excited. Also heard there's a Texas WR (Washington) in the portal that we're targeting? I might have missed it earlier in the thread. Quote Link to comment
