Steven M. Sipple: Take it from Ruud. Bo knows how to develop talentPosted: Wednesday, April 27, 2011 11:00 pm

It's easy to overlook the little detail known as player development.

"Actually, I think that's the biggest thing, in all honesty," says ex-Nebraska linebacker Barrett Ruud, a six-year NFL veteran, who speaks from personal experience.

"I was always a very hard worker (in college), but I didn't always know how to work," he says. "You have to have somebody point you in the right direction and teach you how to do things."

Bo Pelini showed him the way. Showed him how to maximize practice time. How to prepare mentally for games. How to watch video efficiently. Ruud was a junior at Nebraska in 2003 when Pelini arrived as defensive coordinator, having spent the previous nine seasons as an NFL assistant. Ruud had a solid season in 2002 before exploding for 149 tackles in 2003.

Ruud obviously is a Pelini proponent, as is Ndamukong Suh, who says the techniques he learned from the Nebraska staff helped lead to his breakout college seasons in 2008 and 2009.

Hey Recruits, Read this.

Lavonte David getting his weight up to around 225 pounds should help him go early in the draft (2nd to 3rd round).

While Dennard and Crick, IMO, are already first round picks if their production continues next year. Can't wait to see what the likes of Charles Jackson, David Santos, Todd Peat, Daimion Stafford, Kevin Williams, and Max Pirman develop in to.

I read the original title of this article "Rudd Bullish on Bo"

It sounded to me that Rudd was critizing Bo in a negative way, but it could be that i don't know the meaning of "bullish"

 

[zoogs]

Bullish means the opposite of what you thought

Bo is great at developing talent and getting the most out of... defensive players.

Offensive player development... no evidence exists to support that player development of NU offensive players is anything special at all. In fact, more compelling evidence exists to suggest that player development of NU offensive players is not only not special... it is a problem (some cases in view --- no progress in QB mechanics, no progress in WR dropping passes, no progress in fumbles, no progress in OL penalties, etc.)

Bo... awesome defensive guy.

Yep.

What Bo has accomplished on that side of the ball is simply awesome. 2003, 2008, 2009 & 2010. Wow...

This is his first year with his offense. Will he be labeled a superb DC ONLY (not that it by itself isn't impressive as hell) or as an even a far more impessive awesome HC? This year should at least point the probable direction.

I'm banking he'll be NU's 3rd gtreat, great HC. We'll see....

i wonder just how much of this new offense is owned by Bo?

I hope to Gawd it's "all" owned by Bo. He's the HC he knows damn well he's responsible and has every right to change anything at anytime he wants. He now "finally" has his own offensive staff. It's a risky move by Bo but it appears he's comfortable knowing he swims or sinks with it.

I just gotta admire that.

 

[skersfan]

I am hoping that Bo has done the right thing with this in house hire. I just have reservations about it. Or has he found a yes man?

We need to develop an offense, Coach Osborne felt Watson was the answer, where that failed, I have no idea. I would have preferred a OC that had proven his worth, moved the chains on a regular basis. But Bo has put together a pretty good defensive staff, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt this year. But if we see the same stuff again then changes must be made.

exactly, but we all know Bo is a loyalty guy (he did help Wats land on his feet), hopefully not to his detriment.
