Robinson and Luke came in with an attitude that they should lead as freshmen. Problem was neither had the talent that made the deserve to be leaders. If Frost and Held hadn't wiffed so badly on rb Robinson would of had a hard time seeing the field. Pathetic when one of your top two RB is 5'7 and 165 lbs.
Robinson wasn't going to be a running back in 2021, so yes he wouldn't have seen the field as a RB. Agree.
I agree, I just don't get the addition by subtraction comments when it comes to Wandale Robinson.
I am amazed at how much some people seem to know about the inner workings of the Husker program. What a joke.
So were all of these dudes. Outside of Trey Lance and Samori Toure, they rest are just FCS football players or guys looking to enter the 9-5 rat race.
If he was so great he would have hit Wandale in space where he can use his talents best. Just like how Amart got Spielman killed on a weekly basis. You guys and your reinvention of Amart. Like, if you say it enough, he starts sucking less?
We will be better offensively without him. Several other players will step up. He was put in an impossible situation. The guy has major heart, but his lack of size without elite speed are a big drawback. That's how I call it.
“Sure, he kidnapped me and locked me in a windowless room for three years, but he’s a really nice guy. And, he even let me try some steak during the first year!”
The problem was, due to Wandale being only 5'5", Frost had to specially design around 15 plays/game that were designed to get him the ball. Most of these plays were shorter distance plays. Almost none were game breaker plays. It's different than having, say, a Rob Gronkowski or a Randy Moss - those guys are going to almost get the ball by default. With a guy as small as Wandale, you have to go out of your way to set up plays where a guy that small can actually get the ball.
That is a circular argument. I could just say, Frost had to put those alleged 15 “wandale” plays in each game because there was no one else to throw the ball to. So he had to get the ball to the only playmaker he had on his roster.
I will never forget Noa running free vs purdue in 2019, no defender within 20 yards, and AM airmailing him.
It's a team game. The prettiest girl was getting all the attention at the ball. Ends up she was kind of short, didn't have a very good catch radius and not very fast. Some of the other girls matured over the school year. The pretty girl still had a nice personality, but she was not destined to be the homecoming queen for a third year in row. She ended up transferring to a school on the wrong side of the tracks
It’s The Ewing Theory, it’s decades old and there’s absolutely something to it.
Ewing Theory exists because there is a real possibility we could be better without him.
I've submitted several freedom of information requests to current and former players to gather data on height, 40 times and wingspan. I think the data will confirm my theories. Very confident in this
Well, just as an FYI, basic roster information of height and weight is public information. You don't need to waste your time with a FOIA request.
I'm not mad about it. Frost also had to do it because the deep threats were guys like Kade Warner, etc. Not good.
That is not the same thing. The absence of Robinson is not why the offense was better in 2018. Stupid argument.
No. Amart will be better because we got rid of that easy to take down quitter. Everyone else gets it. Why don't you?
Not sure, I guess I am a slow learner.
Claims don't equal on the field performance. He clearly lacked top end speed with pads on. He's extremely quick and elusive but it didn't appear he had that extra gear. Some of that could have been the wear and tear of what we asked of him too.
We were a play or two away by our QB from winning a lot more games over the past 2 years IMO. Pretty simple. QB is the most important position on the field and Frost didn't have a feasible plan B after Gebbia transferred.
