Husker in WI Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 15 minutes ago, Cdn Blackshirt Two said: I wonder if Farmer gets beat out at the safety positions this year. Just my impression but he appeared to lack the suddeness you usually need to be able to cover the great athletes you're going to face at either WR or even TE. The fact he wasn't shifted to Nickel may be a sign he's showing enough signs of improvement that Fisher believes he has him in the right spot. Fingers crossed. Fisher even said the speed and quickness is where Farmer falls short of the other guys, and he needs to get better at using his knowledge to make up for that. With how he talked up Singleton, I wouldn't be shocked if it's Singleton and Buford as the starters by conference play with Farmer/Brown being the #2s and still playing a lot. 23 minutes ago, BIG ERN said: I doubt NPG sees the field on defense. Honestly I expected him to hit the portal. I kinda did too, but Fisher said he's been the leader in the meeting room. Doesn't mean he can't leave, just sounds like he is invested and just needs it to click as far as processing/reacting faster. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 My TCU source told me that when Mathis gives 100%, he's pretty much unstoppable, but that sometimes he will take a play or two off. Hopefully transferring and trying to drive up his draft stock will make those plays off few and far between. Quote Link to comment

But, it's much easier to have defenders playing 100% every down if your defense is getting 3 and outs. Hopefully, we see that quite often this year. Quote Link to comment

Teams were able to just double team Mathis all day and not worry too much about the other guys. Quote Link to comment

Or, at the very least, hope he can help provide some semblance of a pass rush. Which has been sorely missing since Randy Gregory left 1 1 Quote Link to comment

If Nash doesn't get leverage, if the opposing interior Lineman stands him straight up, he's kind of ........ an easy block. So hopefully the coaching and the tape in the room will get through to him. Otherwise he won't see the field too much. 800lb squat or not. 1 Quote Link to comment
