Brett Maher will be punter I believe

Kickers are always rated low. Hell, there are only like 10-15 that get scholarship offers each year according to Jeremy Crabtree. If we offered him, he's going to be good.

Oye. Could be a painful gut check for our inaugural Big 10 season.

No doubt about it we lose a lot. Great kickoff specialist, Best FG kicker ever in Neb history, good punter, entire secondary, helu, and paul (not sure if this is good or bad). Thats just off the top of my head, I know there is more.

I don't think we're losing Dennard. Too much risk of an NFL lockout. And if you're talking about who's been starting lately, both Osborne and Cassidy will be back.

 
Alex Henery has saved Nebraska so many times most notably the amazing kick in 08 against Colorado. The Okie State run for a first down was both hilarious and awesome all at once. To me he is the best kicker in the nation.

One thing I know for sure, losing him will make our offensive coordinators job even harder since Henery truly has saved our butts on more than one occasion. I just hope he gets the memo. Sorry were losing Kunalic also.

Henery is also such a great punter. It was speculated by an announcer last week that he could play both positions in the NFL and that would open up another roster spot to provide extra depth. That would be HUGE for whatever team got him.

Here's to hoping Henery pins A&M inside the 10 two or three times!!! :cheers

I could seriously see this, he hits consistently 40+ yards with above average hang time, if he could get a couple more tenths of hangtime on his punts he could be a serious dual threat K/P in the NFL. Anybody know if this has ever happened before and if so who was the last person to do it?

Not entirely sure, but I think the last successful dual treat kicker in the NFL was Don Cockroft who played for the Browns for like a hundread years. I think he lasted until the early 80's. Dual threat was actually fairly common through the 60's and 70's..

Agreed. We will not lose Dennard. We also return Osborne and Cassidy --- so both safeties and one of the two Cb's return. It is likely that we'll move to 3 lbers (a 4-3-4) as opposed to the 4-2-5 that we run this year. And 3/4 of the positions return in the secondary. So... 3/4 starters will be back on the DL (assuming that Crick stays... which he should) --- 3/4 of the secondary returns (sort of... yes, we'll really miss Hagg, Gomes and Amukamara ... but Dennard, Cassidy, Osborne and Evans return... and Corey Cooper and Andrew Green will be added in and both are supposed to be good... and Harvey Jackson is supposedly lighting it up in practice too.. so the secondary will be OK. At LB we lose no one... David, Compton, Whaley and Fisher all return. We'll be OK.

The kickers will really be missed.

 
Has Henery ever missed a PAT? I don't remember him missing one. Don't have time to read the whole thread, so sorry if this was already discussed.

It's been awhile, but how well does Alex kickoff? Also, will handling placekicking, kickoffs, and punts in one season wear out his leg?

He shouldn't have a problem with it if he prepares for it. It's all in the preparation.

 
one measure of how special Alex is, is how fast his eligibility years seem to have flown by! (doesn't it seem like he was 'a freshman walk-on' just last year!)
