Rex's status for the PSU game?

[HuskerNationNick]

How about just a couple of plays in the RexCat? Even if just as a decoy.

Split Martinez out. Put Rex in motion.

Defense =

Direct snap to Abdullah.

Putting Rex on the field is a liability, not for us so much, but for him and his future. Not worth taking the chance until he is 100%.

"Here’s a quick — but telling — quote from Brown about Burkhead’s efforts to get healthy again: “He loves hard work. He almost wants to rehab.” Despite knowing he’d be sidelined, Burkhead’s gone out of his way to study film each of the past few weeks, Brown said."

I agree. I don't want him out there. I want him to heal so he can play in the NFL.

I wish I could see him in the NFL, and he'll get a look, but he won't be there long.

How do you come up with that assumption? MCL is minor. The only reason its effecting us, is because we haven't allowed him the proper time to heal.

People said the same thing about Helu Jr. 1,019 all-purpose yards he had last year. If it wasn't for an Achilles injury, he would be right up there again.

this is the same pitch all the sports agents will be using to get Rex to sign with them!

come sign with us where our slogan is "you'll get a look from the NFL but you won't be there long!"

I don't think he'll play. He's been very limited in what he's done. Someone added it up on another board and he's played in less than 1/3 of the quarters played. If you had told me that he'd play that little and we'd only have two losses at this point I'd never have believed it.

So...medical redshirt, and he comes back next season is what you're getting at?

No, played in to many games this season.

Thought if we make the B1G CC game and bowl, he'll be under the percentage of quarters necessary for a medical redshirt...?

 

[wilber24]

saying he is day to day is not scareing anybody, better be scared of Ameer! Wait until next year!

 

[MLB 51]

Rest hiim until the CCG, thats the logical thing to do.

^^^^^^This. No reason to take any chances at this point.

 

[wilber24]

Just saying he is probaley out for the year! Bowl game is lucky!

 

[Guy Chamberlin]

As much as I'd like to have Rex next year.......I'm not sure how much I'd want to bench Abdullah, given what he's earned, and Heard and Cross, who await their own break-out season.

The running game has not been a problem this year. Thanks to a surprising Abdullah, the tough extra yard has not been a problem this year. No need to rush Burkhead until he's healthy enough to remind people he should be playing in the NFL next year.

You're a Cubs fan, aren't you?

Rex is just as good if not better than Danny Woodhead and he found himself in the league. I love the scene in Hard Knocks when Rex Ryan has to cut Woodhead and he goes nuts because he knows it will come back to bite him and it did when he signed with the Pats!
