SIGNED RB Terrell Newby

[whateveritis1224]

Ameer scares me because he is prone to fumble the ball! He isn't Taylor Martinez bad grant you, but Ameer is still one of only 8 D-1 players who have 6 or more fumbles on the year! With us having 2 out those 8, we better clean up the turnovers or we will never lose less than 4 in a year!

I'm not saying Ameer doesn't need to focus on ball security, but keep in mind FOUR of his fumbles were muffed punts. Obviously we can't have those on our team either, but I view that differently than him taking a draw up the middle and a LB stripping him.

I think you bring up a really good point. While I think that overall fumbles are important, I'd be curious about how our team ranks in fumbles per touch/running play. Put the behavior in context. For instance, muffed punts are a different skill set then not getting it stripped on a run. Anyone have the down time at work to look into team rankings in fumbles per running play (factoring only fumbles on intended running plays/scrambles)?

I can tell you that one of those muffed punts was an absolutely atrociously bad call by the refs that was upheld by review that clearly showed the ball 2-3 yards away from Ameer's foot. (the Arky State muffed punt)

The biggest thing with Ameer though is that he's fumbled in the absolute worst opportune times. In our comeback against Wisky, which Martinez was right there to pick up and run for a touchdown. If we lose that one, we're most likely not winning the game. Then there were the 2 fumbles in consecutive Capital One Bowls that absolutely killed our momentum. I have faith he will work on that problem in the offseason. Hopefully he and Martinez get together to figure things out.

If you have CBS Sports Network, Newby is playing in an All American game.

Get out.

 

[HuskerT]

He will see the field immediately if he can return kickoffs like he just did. What a bada$$. He has huge legs, looks a lot like Ameer, but faster.

He looks like a smoother, more talented Marlon Lucky.

Catches it with the hands for the TD. Looks like a superior athlete to everybody else on the field. Stud!
