CFL Roundtable: Nebraska

We might just have success this year simply because there's so much work to do, and the expectation is not to start off elite.

 
I thought the analysis was really garbage imo, i heard the same things ive been hearing from them for two years. Taylor's machanics suck and he cant pass the ball, Rex is good, and our D is shaky, need to recruit better...and the same question everytime they do a preview of us, "can nebraska return to dominance." and they answer it the same way everytime. That was the most pathetic 10 minute preview of Nebraska ive ever seen, i would have rather watched Big 10 network do a nebraska special.

 
This is why I don't watch ESPN. Not only do I have to sit and listen to people who know less about the program than I do, but I get to come on here and see everybody rage about it.

If you guys start ignoring ESPN, you'll be much happier football fans. I guarantee it.

Has that been wrong? We've had some four loss years. Sounds about right for a consistent four loss team to be on the verge, to be asked "can they make the jump" but at the same time having questions that sometimes can't be answered.

Poor guy was getting ripped on left and right (mostly his mechanics of course) by Mark Schlabach . No clue why that guy was on.

That guy is spot on about Taylor's mechanics to date. Let's be real about Taylor, he gets by with his throwing. His specialty is running. Rex is the rock of the offense. All of this seems fair.

Stipulating all of the usual stuff (ESPN is biased, ESPN isn't familiar enough with Nebraska, their analysts are a bunch of knuckleheads, etc.), I didn't have an issue with any of the stuff these guys said during the segment. It was all pretty reasonable and most of it wasn't much different than what you'll see in this forum throughout the year. It's important to remember that this segment wasn't for the benefit of Nebraska fans, it's for everyone else that doesn't follow all of the NU minutia that we fans do.

Oh, but it wasn't a personal attack. It's a criticism of his skills. Largely it was fair.

And they're right that he regressed. His footwork fell off after his injury as a freshman. I wouldn't say they are wrong about this. From the spring practice videos we saw, he is still shotputting the ball. This won't change. The key is for him to settle down and be comfortable working within the system. Maybe his footwork will make big leaps and bounds, that remains to be seen.

If there's one thing they're making too much of, it's the Bo Pelini blowup.

Aside from that the discussion seemed to be pretty good. They're pretty on the point in a lot of ways.

Now ask yourselves this - do you think those guys at that roundtable actually sit down and watch Husker games like we do?

And if they don't, where do they get their information?

And when you ask yourself that, think about all the times you've looked at this board, and you've seen 150 members and 150 guests, and ask yourself who those guests are.

Then think about how many interns they employ in Bristol. And what they do.

So there's a fair chance that the info you're listening to the pretty boys in suits discuss is coming from....

wait for it....

you.
