Finally a smart move. I think.

Is there a reason why both of the tackles that started for most of the year are on the injured list. Did they really get injured, or is it a coaching decision that says you suck, we will put you in IR to prevent any questions. Looks to me Like we are young at tackle now. A rFR and a True freshman. Might as well prep for the future, they can not block just like our previous tackles.

 
I think it's a good move. He just needs to forget his blocking assignments from the right side and I think he'll be good. I still think our left tackle position needs to improve however. It doesn't matter who is playing LT, the D-End seems like they have no trouble running around them and hitting Taylor from his blind side. If the right side is a little weak, Taylor can see the guy coming easier and is able to dodge him. I think Greg Austin will improve the blind side protection, but like I said, our left tackles need work. Overall, I think this was a good decision.

 
would it make sense to leave Dane Todd in on passing plays to protect Taylor's left side? hell i am no coach, but it is a thought? call some more draw plays.......maybe even run a reverse or two? anything!

Seppo was injured according to other sites. Supposedly a foot injury that he battled throughout the whole KU game.

I honestly do not see any of these moves as a bad thing. Play the youngsters at a position in which we are getting zero production from the run-blocking or pass-blocking position, especially considering Seppe and CFT are hurt.

:yeah

I totally agree with that. Leaving Todd in on pass plays would make us lose a receiver. However, it's a great idea because it will give Taylor time to make a few more reads. Just think of it as leaving in Todd and taking out Taylor's last option to throw. He rarely gets time to check down to the last guy anyways.

I don't know if this is necessarily true, but when I think of the West Coast Offense, I see in my head trick plays. Like you said, some reverses and draws could work very well I think. Tossing it to Cory Ross and having him lob it downfield to Nate Swift CANNOT be our only trick play in the thick book. It's not going to work every time you run it. But my dad and I were talking about "why doesn't Nebraska run something like that?" (referring to the reverse toss that Arizona ran for a score on UCLA). We need some more misdirection.

 
I may be mistaken, but hasn't Austin been on the left side all season? I think it will be good for Slauson to get some good game experience and show what he can do.

 
Yeah, my brain is on overload with the way we are doing this year. I think I got Austin mixed up with Slauson. I was thinking the Prep school kid moved to the left side when I saw Austin.

I don't know??????

My brain hurts!!!!!

:bang

 
With the O line in a state of flux hard to keep straight who is on what side! Hey, we could make a three stooges skit out of that. :lol: For the younger crowd how about a Beavis/Butthead or South Park skit. :cheers

Hopefully some very solid recruits will take over for a O line deficit. Strategery that's what we need. Recruit the recruitable. election day humor. sorry

 
If our Tackles are getting beat repeatedly outside but our guards are holding well, then why don't they call draw plays between the tackle and guard? The tackle can let the DE slip outside and we can run inside the DE. We may not get past the LB but it should force the DE to stay a bit more honest on his pass rush if he fears an inside draw.

I know against Missouri, I saw the right DE playing a bit further outside where he should line up to get a jump outside against our tackle. It was a perfect opportunity to audible to a draw and I don't think Callahan even noticed it.

I can't understand how Callahan manages to use Ross so ineffectively in his west coast offense.

Wouldn't put it past them, especially with thomas. The seppo think was kept pretty quiet aswell. Doubt they did this but wouldn't put it past them.
