4-25 Rhule Spring game PC
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
It's raining today and tomorrow in Lincoln. Supposed to catch a break on Sat with 75 and sunny before the storms roll back in Sat night. Looking like good weather for kickoff.
I'm excited for the game on Saturday.
Will any of you guys be there?
Will any of you guys be there?
Yep!
First road beer should be cracked by 8am. First bar beer should be on the table by 9:15am
Probably a silly question, but what is meant by the QBs not being live? Just that they will have green jerseys and can’t be tackled?
Good point!
I am sure I will have one when I wake up and another in the shower.
Didn't they give them in the fall?
-OL will be in grey during spring game so they can rotate through-WR may be the same way-Malachi Coleman can’t get hit still-looking for a high standard of football, even if you’re up, “no fumbling the football around”-won’t do live special teams, “that’s where the injuries happen”-QB’s won’t be live-guys that Coach Rhule holds out during practice want to play, mentions Tommi Hill-mentions that we’re 5-7, “we’ve got to earn everything we get”-not happy about Tuesdays practice-expecting Tony White’s defense to come out hot on Saturday-the guys are understanding what hard work is - “competition is king”-guys that have been held out of practice may get a couple reps in the Spring game, but that’s it-Coach Rhule says it’s going to be the “Red and White Shootout” - he knows we can run the ball, he wants to see us pass and catch the ball-wants to practice 2 minute drills-“great players do what they do, they don’t do new stuff” - mostly talking about Freshman QBs-“we have a 66% chance of a freshman QB starting”-teams will be the 1 offense vs 1 defense-Coach Rhule wants to know which guys are going play well in front of a crowd-Omar Brown completely changed his approach to everything during the season, which elevated his game-thinks we have 5-6 guys that teams should draft-Coach has had teams call about Phalen Sanford for an undrafted free agent spot-NFL teams ask about football character, practice - not about talent-this weekend will be used as an official visit for a lot of recruits that are flying in-local guys will be technically unofficial-Coach Rhule says signing day is more stressful than the NFL draft-Rhule ends with a mic drop - “just to clear this up, because some of you guys I’ve heard are doubting my truthfulness, both Heinrich and Dylan has 99 yard TD drives”
Nice. I think CTB is starting to become a household name. Can't hurt with recruiting.
He says ones on ones BUT he's holding out experienced starters. So we're going to likely have multiple offensive line and D Line starters play very little and maybe not at all. I'm not sure that's going to give us much of a realistic picture of where the offense in particular is at. It should be entertaining to get to see the QBs throw a few passes but I'm not going to read too much in to their performances based on missing pieces on both side of the ball.
I heard that going to the game today will be almost as dangerous as going to the Twin Cities for a ball game. Good luck.
Glad that it's going to be a regular scrimmage. I never understood those teams (especially Frost) that were afraid to have their kids tackle each other four months before their first game.
Despite comments to the contrary, the Spring Game is never really about serious football. It's an event staged mainly for fans and visiting recruits. The most Rhule will get out of it is seeing how younger players react to the crowd and hopefully some recruiting juice.
It is spelled gray damn it. We are not in socialist England.
Ummmm...this country has trended socialist since we started using the income tax for things other than national defense. It really swung that way with the expansion to social security, medicare and medicaid. Now we have the executive branch giving away billions to favored groups without congressional approval. Yeah, we're not that much different than the UK or France.
Their problem was how thin his depth was. They had huge holes in their rosters in spring ball.
You shouldn’t ever read too much in to their performances for a Spring Game.
It’s a fun experience and an April football fix for the fans. It can be an awesome recruiting tool in that recruits get to see first hand the Love the players get.
But, at the end of the day, it’s the 15th Practice of the new year.
