Why does Cosgrove still think that rushing 3 and dropping everyone else into coverage will work? Our secondary is too weak to do this. 8 games in, and we still do it.

My personal favorite play is a cover 3 out of the nickel........ but just like anything else, it's not about eliminating weaknesses, it's knowing where they are and how to play off them
I really don't know enough to say more. It seems like Cos is trying to get something to work, but apparently it isn't working.....
hmmm

Yep, once again he rushed 3 and gave up a key first down. The good thing is that he only did it one play and not an entire half.

Obviously, I am not suggesting we blitz everyone. I'm just suggesting at least 4 linemen and maybe 1 linebacker. If it's 3rd and long, the secondary is going to be the target, so I do not see why you don't send at least one linebacker, as they probably won't be covering downfield anyway (at least I hope not). Have we shown at all this year that our secondary can match up very well against anyone? No. Has Bomar (a freshman) shown he does not throw well under pressure? Yes.

You don't have to blitz everyone. bring 4 or 5 and cover. The defensive backfield didn't play too bad today. The qb had 5 or 6 seconds when we brought 3. It doesn't work with our players. Look at the previous weeks. Look at last year.Yeah lets bring everyone on a blitz and get beat deepWe would have had to bring a lot of people to get to the QB. Dont blame it all on the coaches the players have a responsoblilty

I hate the 3 man rush as much as the next guy. But shouldn't 8 be able to cover 5?

Not with this team and not when the 3 don't get to the qb in ample time. A good receiver will find a hole in the zone if he is allowed to run around for 6 seconds.

Well, they haven't all year. And that just gives the QB time to pick us apart,

Maybe he watches 3 guys rush the passer effectively in practice against our pop warner offensive line and thinks it can work in the game.
I didn't understand the 3-man rush crap. Bomar is a freshman and going to get rattled and make mistakes. Why not sell out and bring everyone on a blitz? Better than letting him stand tall for 8 seconds then find an open man for a first down. That last TD drive in the fourth absolutely killed NU. 4 or 5 first downs converted on 3rd and long, 1 4th down conversion. Horrible. We're not talkin about Jason White here, this is a FRESHMAN!

As far as iI am concerned, cosgrove can take the 3 man rush and stick it in his a$$. Our players have a responsibility to play the game the way the coaches call it. Some times they each will make mistakes, but the 3 man rush has been dedhoarse .
GO HUSKERS!!!!!
P.S. NO MORE 3 MAN RUSH

I dont like the 3 man line much, unless you can bring 2 or 3 to blitz. It's an okay scheme to run as a change up.
My concern, as I have been saying for a few weeks, is that when he runs this, its normally against teams that spread the field, and instead of having his top 3 CBs, and maybe Shanle and Jackson playing back there providing SPEED, he plays a 3-4, and puts his MLB on a WR.
I just dont think that NU has enough speed for any of its LBs (except maybe Octavian) to cover WRs.
Sorry, but I still think coz and his system suck dedhoarse I dont much care about "not buying in," and IMO, I dont think that he sees a difference between the Big 10 and the Big 12.
