Example of Coaching Upgrade

[admo]

I caution people on comparing our defensive back field over the next few years with what we have seen the last few. The defensive scheme is changing a lot. From what I can tell, on average, we will have fewer DBs on the field. That means CBs will be on an island more and there will be less help. They might get burned every once in a while.

HOWEVER, our run defense has a major chance of improvement.

Point is, we need to look at total defense and how that entire side of the ball is working and make judgements on that and not on if we are keeping QBs to less than 45% completion rates...bla bla bla...

I agree completely. I can sustain a little anger if our secondary gets beat at times. It happens. Hopefully it's just because the WR makes a good play. So that's ok as long as we do the other things. Win the LOS, stop the run, put pressure on the QB. Make him have to get rid of it and force a good throw. I like our chances most of the time with that theory.

you would like to see the huskers lose? and you call yourself a fan?

I am more a UNK Lopers fan. REAL Nebraskans watch REAL Nebraska players play in the middle of REAL Nebraska and they wear blue while doing it.

Anyhow, like I said (but you didn't catch) I would like to see Riley and the team do well, but I really would like to know how secretly taping a coach and anonymously leaking the tapes burnishes your stellar reputation as Husker fans. Oh, and then castigating the players who showed any loyalty to their coach, who showed loyalty to them when he took on the Boo Birds in Memorial Stadium in that 2011 Ohio State game...you know, the "real fans" that wear red and tailgate and fly flags and buy season tickets before and after they boo...

Iowa, Wisconsin, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State are the Big Ten teams that gave up fewer passing yards per game last year.

They all gave up fewer rushing yards, as well.

How can that be? We played Illinois against their backup QB, and we knocked out Rutgers starter too. Wisconsin didn't throw it, and even NW couldn't throw the ball.

Man that is surprising. I didn't know that stat.

We're lucky to have Stewart for the time being, but he's overqualified and will likely find a coordinator job next year.

But he was a coordinator at Maryland before coming here.

Lopskers are the worst

True, but only Ohio State faced more completions (they also played 2 more games than us).

That said, I'll gladly trade some passing D for a reasonable rush D.

Worse than a Jaysker?

I guess nothing is worse that a Jaysker.

FYI only 50% of UNK roster is REAL Nebraska players

I see room for improvement with both.

UNK just fired their coach too.

it wasn't a husker fan that taped Bo's rants. last rant that was recorded was by a player. and his first rant was apparently recorded by someone in the media. so how do you blame the fans for either?

This would certainly add some clarity as to why we rarely saw changes I'm the depth chart even after multiple subpar performances (looking at you, OL).

They didn't feel second string could step in and do better.... Because they weren't getting any reps?

To be fair, Bray didn't say it was 2nd stringers. For all we know it was a walk on

Per McKewon, it was walk-on guys he was talking about. So probably nothing different than has happened for many years with how many guys we have. Just not enough time to get reps for 120+ guys. It's nice to get them a shot but I don't think it really changes a whole lot.

I'm just going to say it.

I am the smartest man alive.
