Braylon Heard moved to DB?

[True2tRA]

Cross

Green

Abdullah

Burkhead

Good Move.

Abdullah - 42 carries

Heard - 25 carries

Green - 24 carries

Cross - Not even signed - 0 carries

Marrow - Incoming transfer - 0 carries

Take Heard and his 25 carries away from that group and you have two true freshman that had a total of 66 carries between the two of them all season.

Or take those 25 carries give them to Abdullah and Green and BOOM, they have 91 carries.

Or take those 25 carries, give them to Burkhead. Thenn take Abdullah's and Green's carries (66), and give them to Burkhead!

So we have 66+25+285 (Burkhead's original carries this season)= 376 carries for Burkhead!

AND WE AREN'T STOPPING THERE!

Let's bench Martinez too, nobody seems to like him anyways. We'll just put Burkhead at QB/RB/C/WR/DT.

376 carries for Burkhead+188 of Tmart's carries = 564 carries for Burkhead this season! AHHH!

Now that we have our carry number, lets find some averages!

We'll use the 564 carries, and multiply that by his season average for carries in 2011, which was 4.8 yard per carry.

564 x 4.8 yards = 2707.2 yards?!?!?!?! Oh boy.

Now Burkhead rushed the ball 285 times this season, and scored 15 touchdowns. So we'll do the math, and find out that Burkhead scores once about every 19 rushes. So we'll divide his total of 564 carries by 19 to = 29 touchdowns!

2700 yards and 29 touchdowns?!?!

BURKHEAD FOR HEISMAN!!!

+1. Perfect. I'm in!

The Dude, sometimes I think I would like to :box you. It's clear to me that just about anything I say makes you :cry and :bang . I'll still keep sayin' what I have to say though.... :boxosoap . If you want to keep on with the negative comments toward me go ahead ( I saw the comment before you edited it ) I will sit back and :snacks: .

I really don't think you think before you type. It's neither negative nor positive, just an observation.

Well I'm glad you think you think I don't think before I type. I don't know why you think I don't think before I type what I think but.......... Thanks for thinking of me.

 

[Count 'Bility]

Sounds ok to me. Prince started out as a WR. Bo moved him to corner. It must be things they see in skill and athleticism. Depth is not an issue at rb.

 

[95huskers]

i think the moves Bo has made have helped the team and the players. I think if Heard can catch on quickly that he and baptist could be people to reckon with.

It's because it seems you rarely put much thought into the pros and cons of what you're advocating. You simply take the contrarian stance no matter what the topic.

Maybe your over thinking it.

Take Heard and his 25 carries away from that group and you have two true freshman that had a total of 66 carries between the two of them all season. If anything happens to Burkhead next year, the last thing we want to do is to waste Heards off season learning CB just to move him back to IB for more depth.

By my count we have 16 DB's on the roster, and 8 safeties. Looks pretty clear to me that we have plenty of bodies in the defensive backfield. 24 guys not counting incoming players that will be on the roster competing for defensive back and safety positions. 4 guys with any carries for Nebraska returning next year.

Yes, I looked at how many carries each back had. Then I looked at the roster to see how many CB's and Safeties we have on the team. Considered the youth at the running back position and also named two of the incoming young men that haven't even taken a snap at Nebraska. 24 players in the defensive backfield of this team and only 4 running backs on this team with any carries at the Div. 1 level. Yes, clearly I didn't look at the pros and con's or spend any time considering what I was saying. As a matter of fact pal, your comments make you sound rather foolish and petty. Find someone else to attempt to antagonize. Your comment was just plain non founded. As smart as you think you are, you would think you would have some sort of foundation behind why you think so. That's neither positive or negative. Just an observation.

After a comment like that, I'm amazed you would talk to anyone about how much thought they put into their comment?! LOL!

 

[EZ-E]

Seem to remember a kid that was moved from Running Back to Corner and was a first round draft pick....

In Braylon's recruiting process many schools said he was an all-conference running back, but all-American cornerback.

 

[strigori]

I seem to remember another coach we had who would recuit many running backs, and then convert guys who didnt see alot of time there over to defense...

My point wasn't about the carries. My point was saying we have major talent at RB.

You can't tell me that Heard isnt more gifted that 8 other DB's on the depth chart, so that's why I am saying it's a good move. I bet he RS or something, and makes an impact in a few. That's how I feel anyways

Out of those 24 guys, how many have made an impact? Keep in mind there's 6 positions in the secondary depending on the package, that's 4 bodies per position. Not a great deal of difference between that and 4 runningbacks.

After a comment like that, I'm amazed you would talk to anyone about how much thought they put into their comment?! LOL!

So you're saying my point about moving Heard would mean more playing time for Green and Abdullah (and probably even Heard) went over your head? I thought it was pretty clear. But I guess if you think creating a log jam at RB and keeping talented guys on the bench is the best way to win games, who am I to question that?

 

[Hunter94]

we always tinker with guys and move them around, usually it ends up not so hot....whatever, we are obviously desperate for athletes in the backfield.....obviously!

 

[lilred]

I don't know if I like this move or not, but I am definitely a little disappointed. I really liked his high school film at running back. I hope he can pick up the new position because he's a great athlete.

 

[TSHO44]

Our current RB situation > Our DB situation. It isnt going to hurt to add another DB.
