What happened to Santos? Not a great spring practice to kiss with a new defense getting installed.
Rose to the outside is a head scratcher. I assumed Bando would move to the outside so he and Rose could be on the field at the same time.Originally posted by HuskerTimOmaha:
Yep.
Sounds like Rose was moved to the outside too. Not sure I understand or agree but I'm very anxious to see what coach Bray does with the LB'er.

Have you ever seen Banderas play? He is slower than most defensive lineman, don't get me wrong I think the kid has a lot of upside but his speed is suspect to say the least.Originally posted by headcard:

Seems to me "he moves around pretty well" when he knows where he's goingOriginally posted by TheNewNU:

My impression is that they want a guy in the middle that can run sideline to sideline. Rose IMO while maybe a half a step slower than Bando seems to have better instincts in coverage and is a better open field tackler. This is spring. If its something they've watched on film and think he can help us there, they're going to give it a try. It lets them get two of their best backers on the field at the same time because clearly Bando really struggles in coverage outside. Get the tall fast guy inside. Let him take his drop and read the QB or blitz with those long arms on passing downs.Originally posted by HuskerTimOmaha:
Bando is fast, real fast. What he struggled with is the MIKE spot in Pelini's defense. Way too much is required for that position with Bo and he never had a MIKE backer that could not only do what was required but play at a high level, including fast. When you think too much, you play a step or two behind (slow).
Lavonte had the skill and relied on his abilities and instincts. He played outside the system, so to speak, while the back-end made most of the calls and checks. Heck, at one point there were guys on the DL helping with checks because Lavonte couldn't.
Oh well, it's up to coach Bray, let's see what the young pup can do.

I think Bando is a great athlete, that is his upside. Like HTO said, our MLB's (including Bando) really struggled with Pelini's scheme. Look how much better guys like Dillard and Santos played when they were moved outside. Look how much more productive Compton is in the NFL.Originally posted by TheNewNU:

Unfortunately, there's a 99% chance he's serious.Originally posted by Cornicator:

He's slotted at WILL.Originally posted by Cornicator:
Marcus Newby is up to 235 now. Any chance they're considering him for the Middle?
Bo's defense was not known for producing underclassman phenoms...Originally posted by inWV:
Bando is a very athletic young man. Hurdled and threw at the State Meet his Senior year. Possibly his FB IQ is a bit suspect, but then again, he was an underclassman in system that demanded a lot from his position. Maybe he'll prosper in the new system.
Why are you doing this to every thread?
