Couple things from the article
1.) I wonder if Scott might feel a bit of a connection with Taylor. Both are tough as nails and hard nosed competitors who took a lot of heat early, and of all things it had quiet a bit to do with throwing the ball.
2.) I really got the impression that we might see a lot 3 man fronts this year with Pelini's comment about the defense being more "multiple". That's the first time I think I've heard him use that word in regards to the defense. I wonder if we also might see some amoeba looks since Wiscy gave us fits with that in the CC game, and I think there were some glimpses of it when Crick was here.

The 3 man front is interesting...I wonder what 3 would fit that front

1st String: Gregory, Curry/Randle, Ankrah
2nd String: Moss, Williams/Valentine, McMullen
That's a pretty young front 3, but it wouldn't be bad.

I am not sure I see randy lining up inside. I could see him being the open end on air but not in a gap

Bench press is a great thing to measure strength in linemen in my opinion.

Yea, I fixed it up a little, but I didn't really know where to put Randle and didn't wanna leave him out. He does have experience. Randle seems to be better for a 4 front.
So the peak of his career was playing in high school with you? :lol:devnet said:Class B...and we had at least 3 linemen guys benching over 350. One of them used to play for the Arizona Cardinals

Via OWH:
“I think it’s going to be important to get some time for our backup and see where it goes, because you never know,” Pelini said. “We’ve been really fortunate with Taylor (Martinez) that we haven’t lost him for any extended period of time. We’ve been lucky. Now we’re kind of set up — we’re more capable of handling a long-term injury by our quarterback even though we don’t want that happen. I’d feel a little bit better if we were to lose him now for a game than I was a year or two ago. It could have been disastrous.”

Pelini giving a bit of inside info....love it.
His comments speak to me as thus:
We have been thin, thin, thin in terms of bodies and talent. The fact we won as many games as we have is sounding pretty remarkable. We all knew losing Matin-ez would be no bueno, but to hear about not being able to try different schemes on D is really telling.
I've said all along (mostly to myself or my brother) I thought the 2nd five years of the Pelini era were actually what we should really be judging his capabilities on. The culture shift and the turmoil were a lot of hurdles to get to where he can say publicly that we now have talented depth (if not inexperienced) going forward.
I like pelini's maturation in giving fans some tidbits and in dealing w the media; even if it is only during B1G days.
