I thought Mickey would have sent him packing. I just hope that the defense starts playing like they actually care about husker football. Can’t wait to see how they respond this Saturday. they need to change how the DT's play. They aren't good enough to read and react. put them in a gap and tell them to get pentation. Having them engage the Oline and go from there is not working. slants and stunts are about the only way to get guys free. They aren't very athletic across the line. Oshaun and Tannor are the most athletic of the D line and they still haven't done much. Love Nelson but he just isn't a great athlete. Need to scheme your guys free. Linebackers and Dbs just need to buckle up and play and start tackling better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Either way you are okay. Nelson tries hard, i guess, but is not doing anything. 1 Quote Link to comment

You are just doing the other team a favor. One of them can maybe play head up but to me the weak side should probably be directly in a gap and just go balls out to try to get in the backfield.. They need to try to do something different 1 Quote Link to comment
desertshox Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Watching Meyer talking about the two types of defense, vanilla or chaos, which one does chins use since they are not fundamentally sound (vanilla) or very disruptive or confusing (chaos)? Quote Link to comment

URSS Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I don’t see a winning season or bowl game this year and most likely a new coach and assistants next year. BIG QUESTION: How many of our good players will be lost next year? The Quote Link to comment

Archy1221 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Can we end the Blackshirt charade for awhile now. NU hasn’t had a defense worthy of that in a decade 3 1 Quote Link to comment

SouthLincoln Husker Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Mickey said it all. Need to go back to basics & take a strong look at the younger guys! 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The secondary is the worst I ever seen. Corners and Safeties. They are real good at back peddling tho. And playing 10-15 yards from LOS. Don't even need pads or a helmet. Fischer is and has been way overrated. Quote Link to comment
