gamecocks Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Well that sucks, hopefully it is nothing to serious. We do have some depth on the line but I don't know if I would call it quality depth though. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Wow, that stinks. Hope it's not serious, otherwise, the DT spot just took a big hit. Quote Link to comment
nu4everfan15 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 apparently from looking around, it isn't too serious, but i don't know the details. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 That's Brandon "The Beast" Johnson's position. I have heard he is in shape and has been practicing well. Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 If it does happen to be serious...what an opportunity for Suh. IMO we shouldn't keep that mammoth off the field for more than half of every game this season. I can't wait to see him play. Quote Link to comment
foote_21 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 If it does happen to be serious...what an opportunity for Suh. IMO we shouldn't keep that mammoth off the field for more than half of every game this season. I can't wait to see him play. I want to see Suh play too... but we need Cryer. Without Cryer Suh will have to play a much bigger role and I doubt Johnson has picked up the system yet. Listening to Jay Moore, even last year they were still learning the system.

gamecocks Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hopefully Steinkuehler can come in and provide some quality depth for us along the line for a series or two every now and then. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Any news on Cryer's knee?? Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It appears to not be serious and he will probably practice today. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It appears to not be serious and he will probably practice today. Good news Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Good to hear, DT is a concern for me if our starters go down. A lot of unproven talent in that spot. Hopefully they can get some good experience and PT this year and be ready to step up next year. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Good news. But it will be interesting to see Steinkuehler and Suh when they get their chance. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thats good that Cryer's injury is not too serious. Hopefully we can get a good rotation for the DT positions. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Husker Football Notebook, 8/26: DT Cryer returns to practice BY BRIAN ROSENTHAL / Lincoln Journal Star Saturday, Aug 26, 2006 - 12:21:58 am CDT Senior starting defensive tackle Barry Cryer returned to practice Friday, one day after sitting out because of a sore knee. “He’s doing very well,” Nebraska defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove said. “He hasn’t missed a beat. He’s good to go.” When asked what the official diagnosis was of Cryer’s knee, Cosgrove responded: “Nothing. “We didn’t think it was serious at the time. But if something did happen, we preach to our backups all the time, ‘You’ve got to practice and perform like a starter.’ I feel good about our depth at that position. Naturally, you don’t want to lose a starter, but if it happens, the next guy has to be ready.” OCTAVIEN BACK: Cosgrove said linebacker Steve Octavien, who last week had his appendix removed, has had his best two days of preseason practice this week. “He’s made some very good strides, and he’s good to go,” Cosgrove said. “(It’s) just getting tied down. I think his focus is where it needs to be, good concentration. His reactions to the football have been very good.” WATCH LISTS: Three Huskers this week have been named to preseason watch lists for postseason awards. Junior linebacker Corey McKeon is on the Butkus Award watch list, senior quarterback Zac Taylor is on the Manning Award watch list and sophomore Jordan Congdon is among 11 kickers on the Lou Groza Award watch list. EXTRA POINT CLUB: The Nebraska Extra Point Club will have its first Kickoff Breakfast of the season Friday. The breakfast will be at the Champions Club, located west of Memorial Stadium. Doors open at 6:45 a.m. and a breakfast buffet will be served at 7 a.m. Offensive coordinator Jay Norvell and defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove will speak. Tickets are $15 apiece, or fans can reserve tables for eight people for $100. Make reservations by Wednesday by calling 472-2367. NEW CAPACITY: NU officials have determined the new seating capacity for Memorial Stadium will officially be 81,067. The previous capacity was 73,918. The addition of new seating in the North Stadium, new handicapped and mobility-impaired seating, and new suites in the North end zone, increased capacity to more than 81,000. The announced attendance will be close to 85,000. Memorial Stadium is now the third-largest stadium in the Big 12 Conference, trailing Texas A&M’s Kyle Field (82,600) and Oklahoma’s Memorial Stadium (82,112). ETC.: Cosgrove said blackshirts will be awarded Monday. … Tyler Kester has been playing cornerback. … The Huskers will use today as a simulated game day and take Sunday off before beginning game-week preparations next week. … Former Husker Blake Tiedtke has received the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame’s postgraduate scholarship award, worth $3,000.
