lol Burch really. Westerkamp will lead the team in receiving this year Bell right behind him.
Not sure exactly what about Burch you don't like, he had a solid year last year and could easily be the best person to replace Enunwa. Especially his blocking, he also made some really nice, tough grabs. I think his next 2 years will fun to watch.
And with all of our receivers hype, this is what we have been missing IMO. We need a receiver to be "that guy" who is a sure handed go to guy when we need a pass completed. Blazing speed is great, but I also like the guys who can read the coverage and sit on his route, make the first down catch in traffic and keep the chains moving. I hope he and Westerkamp can fill/excel in this role as well as the two you mentioned above. Throwbacks to guys like Steve Largent or Jay Novacek. Not blazers, but ran great routes with hands like glue.
Great receivers make an average QB look incredible. I hope that the two above as well as KB, Carter and Jamal really step up and improve that aspect (catching) of their game. It would easily make the difference in 1-2 wins next year IMO. And like the fumbles, has shown itself at the worst times.
No kidding.
From Burtch's Huskers.com page: "On the track, Burtch won 11 total medals in three seasons with the track team. He won the Class C 800 meters at the 2010 and 2011 Nebraska state track meets and was a three-time silver medalist in the 400 meters. Burtch also posted first-, second- and third-place finishes as a member of Elmwood-Murdock's 1,600- and 3,200-meter relay teams. Burtch also added to his medal total in the 200 meters."
It's not like he's a lumbering lineman out there. Dude can run, no matter what color his skin is.
Can I also throw in the "coach on the field" cliché?
