Randy Gregory returning for 2014 season

[BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA]

per Brian Christopherson. He was giving a Husker practice report for the Gator Bowl on 1620 and almost as an after thought when he was ending the discussion said that Randy Gregory announced he will return next season. Big boost for the Blackshirts!

He's a fantastic player, but he's wise to stay. He's not physically ready for the NFL yet IMO.

Have you seen him?!

But I definitely think he needs another year of experience.

He's incredibly talented, but he would get ate up in the NFL run game....

I thought I remembered a coach or reporter pointing out that they've tried to add weight to Gregory, but given his frame and build it was somewhat difficult.

He started the season at around 255 but by the Iowa game, he was down to about 240 again. That's pretty small for a DE.

so tell us unaware folks more about this Randy Gregory.

it is always good to hear when one of your studs is returning.

Lawrence Taylor only weighed about 240. Use him as a rush end or outside linebacker.

We refer to him as "Lord Randy".

He's a bad-a$$ mother that don't take no crap off of nobody.

 

[McDawg]

he kind of reminds me of our ILB Ramik Wilson ...same type size and speed. We run a are supposed to run a 3-4, so our inside backers are a little beefier, our DE's run a little bigger too...but they are almost like tackles in our scheme...our starting DE's are 6'3" 299 and 6'5" 276(according to the roster anyway) ...we will stay in a nickle package a lot....but to be honest with you, I would like to have a man on the edge like your Gregory; that dude looks to be pretty dang quick....personally, I think he kind of looks like a ILB in the SEC

Lawrence Taylor only weighed about 240. Use him as a rush end or outside linebacker.

And when Taylor played, the starting offensive tackles in the Pro Bowl averaged about 270. Last year they averaged about 310.

It's great to hear Randy is coming back for sure, but I never thought he would leave after this year. He needs to physically mature more to be an every down DE/OLB in the NFL. Actually, he may be better suited as an OLB in a 3-4 scheme, because he wouldn't be facing 300+ LB OT's every play as a 4-3 DE.
