I don't know if many of you listen to morning shows on 1620 The Zone when they talk Husker football, but I enjoy listening to it. Anyway, this morning they talked about changes on the Offensive Line that Garrison might be moving towards. let's be real, our offensive line is alright, they have their moments of great blocking and moments of terrible blocking. But thing they mentioned that hasn't been a staple of Huskers offensive line play has been putting defensive linemen into the ground and knocking them off the line scrimmage. Pancakes, if I'm not mistaken is what they call it in football, when a Offensive Lineman puts a Defensive Lineman into the turf. They also talked about teaching them to hustle and play until the end of the whistle. My old high school coach always taught us if he saw us doing the so called "fast walk" as an offensive lineman, it was an immediate 10 laps on the "Hill".
I really hope that Garrison is pushing these kids to play harder, faster and stronger. Its really the next step for this offensive line to take to the next level. It honestly is something you don't see a lot of nowadays from any team.
Perfect example, during Ameer's long TD run against Illinois. Not taking anything away from Ameer, but seeing the hustle from guys like Sirles, Pensick, Cotton, and Long to get in front of Ameer and provide that cutback lane for him is truly something special and I hope it carries on with these newer offensive linemen.
