Carnes benefits from 'football school'

There's another article floating around out there that talks about Jamal and Brion's frequent film studies together this winter. Apparently the two of them supported/motivated eachother to study film and improve.

Jamal's comments are probably just the summary of what he and Brion figured out together this winter by watching film - that they both needed some improvements if they wanted to see meaningful field time.

"his footwork would be so bad that when he goes to throw his shoulder opens up so much that he'll make bad passes" - I guess I just kind of read that as: "he really sucked at times last year but he's getting better". If he wanted to say he was getting better what's the point of including commentary on how bad he was last year? Just say he's greatly improved, mechanics are better, passing is better, etc...

ps: not a big deal to me, just offseason banter. I just don't want to see Turner in the doghouse...

Aren't we suppose to be talking about Carnes in this thread? I for one would love to see him get more downs this year.

Carnes playing time this year is dependent on 2 things.

1. Learn to read a defense

2. Nebraska has to put teams away.

And 3. Getter a better handle on the offense. This offseason sounds promissing, but this was a very big factor of his limited appearences

IMO, as long as the comments don't go too overboard, the leaders are the ones that are critical of their teammates because they demand the best from them. I think that's what we see from Jamal Turner:

A future leader.

I agree with this. I read all of the comments from Turner and I see a leader. I think we will be a leader this year.

And 4. Most importantly, Taylor gets hurt and can't go.

They'll just put Taylor out at WR and run the Rex-cat. It says a lot about what our coaches thought of Carnes last year when our RB is under center and we have a completely hobbled WR out there.

Rex actually runs a mean zone read, and has a veteran calm about him. If we're just trying to get out of a game, it makes some sense. Of course, mostly it seemed like we were trying to pass on every opportunity possible to develop Carnes. I would say, game on the line though, late in the year, putting someone totally green out there wouldn't be the best idea.

 
The Rexcat was a far better option last year than throwing Brion in there. I'm a big Brion supporter and thinks he needed more touches last year, but not instead of having Rex under center. He's an exception because he has the skills to pull it off.

i hope Beck's mentality doesn't stick this year, we are already hearing those words here, he thinks about strategies to "get out" of a game when the old Huskers were thinking about scoring another 4 TD's and giving the 2nd string guys developmental time on the field...my how times have changed........
