One Player from the Riley Disaster

[Blackshirt316]

On topic does Randy Gregory count? He didn't declare for the draft until after Riley was hired so???

Randy would be able to help the current players get a good pot dealer in Lincoln, and vice versa.

...but they’re also doing just fine without him  :lol:

Hmmm....bring back from the Riley era? 

Sprinkles?....yeah that's it, sprinkles and hip hip hooray.

Sorry, not missing anything and don't want any of it back.

Wonder what SF thinks about sprinkles and hip hip hooray?

I wonder what these players think of it.

I suspect he would've been buried on the depth chart. Verduzco wouldn't let him get away with being as bad of a passer as he was.

I suspect Verduzco would have gotten a lot more out of him than the last staff. Armstrong was also a competitor and leader, which may have had a big impact last season.

I would have loved to have seen what TA could do under Frost and Verduzco.

Since we have an exciting guy at QB now I would have to say DPE on offense or Gerry on defense. Gerry in a system that preaches discipline and accountability would be something.

True, although I'd rather see what T-Mart could've done under this staff than Armstrong.

I thought about also putting TMart, but he didn't play for Riley.

Maliek Collins even though we are deep up front he was a stud

nick gates.  Would have benefited from duval and frost.  Could slide Farniok to guard and have him and Jamies as tackles.  

The only person I would of expected to choose Nick Gates in this exercise would of been Nick Gates.

Based on the thread title, I actually thought this thread was going to present the argument that if a specific play from the Pelini era had gone a different way then the 'Riley disaster' wouldn't have happened.

I thought we were supposed to pick one play out of Riley's playbook.  I've been banging my head against the wall ever since.

There is one specific play in the Pelini era that would have avoided the Riley disaster.  It's called the jet sweep.

Even though Riley was gone, I still give him credit for this play...........

@gobiggergoredder A very Mike Riley player, so we'll count it.
