Yeah, you can almost feel it with those two guys being the top dawgs. 

 

Because I Wasn't sure if Applewhite would recognize what Rhamir's true role and value is within the offense, or just put him at #1 back automatically...... because he started several games last year. But also understanding the Huskers need a few dawgs at the top to get it done.  If that makes sense.

 

Got to say I am very impressed with our new RB coach.  

Why do you keep misspelling Rahmir's name? Is it unintentional?

That's how I always thought it was spelt.  KNow I feel pretty embarrassed.    

 

I got the mental note know.

No worries. I thought it might be some inside joke.

It's cool, my cousin name Rhameer, so maybe thats why.  No worries, I got it straight now.

 When I'm on phone I swipe lol.  ON desktop it gives a blue underscore for my spelling errors (often needed)

Allen out today. Ervin & Grant working with the 1s more so than anyone. Yant/Johnson more so with the 2s.

I knew once Grant came here he'd be the featured back i don't know why a lot of people thought differently?

Honestly before Ervin got hurt he looked like a decent enough back but that was about it.  Let's hope Applewhite has a much much better evaluating process then Held.  We'll see.

To be fair the OL was so bad those first few games nobody was doing squat

Interesting look here with Rahmir in an old school wingback alignment while we're under center. I assume there will be a fair amount more under center with Whipple, and that could open up some cool play designs that wouldn't have been worth pursuing when our under center game was limited to sneaks and an option package.

 

EDIT: Actually looks like Rahmir was with the WRs today - he wasn't in the RB drill later on, and was in a WR drill.

Ervin works hard and has good IQ to the playbook. I think that will always help someone see the field...he does all things good. Just not sure if he does anything great. Time will tell. I think right now AG is our #1.

Ervin was starting to show progress as a true frosh in 2021, and then he got injured against Oklahoma.  It's great to see him come back from that major injury and put himself back in position to be a major contributor.  I am surprised that he has been able to recover so quickly.

Yeah it would be wise to transition him into more of a receiver role given his skill set and the apparent log jam at runningback. 

 

Maybe there's people on the staff now who have some sense??  Seems almost too good to be true.

Not to be "that guy" but I saw nothing from Ervin last year.

 

Having said that, he could be a pivotal piece in the rotation.  It's a new year. It's a new RB coach.  It's anew OL philosophy. 

 

He could become a great back.
