Fidone

[huskerfan66]

Fidone skips leg day. He’s all about the glamour muscles

Not sure if you're serious or factual but that would explain things

 

[huskerfan66]

Did he play after he got his usual false start? I know he’s a terrible blocker maybe that’s why we saw a lot of the other two tight ends

Didn't see or miss him

It does not appear his camp is happy.

Whew that is rough. Football can be an unforgiving game

People are pouncing on him. He is a decent blocker and receiver IMO. Certainly not the reason we have lost five games. The hate is going to push him into the portal.

What hate will push him ? Man these kids have been hearing shit forever now. I like Fidone myself but I'm to the point that if these guys get in their feelings about fans or about tough coaching and wanna leave so be it.

One thing for sure is we having been winning with the. So trying without them won't bother me near as much as it would've years back.

If I were a coach I would sit him down and tell him the knee brace needs to come off. It hinders his ability to do his job and if he has any aspirations to make it to the next level it needs to go.

Do we REALLY think it's just the knee brace though? I don't...

He was an NFL TE until the injuries, it sucks for the kid. He I just physically incapable of things he used to do.

No, he wasn't. I've seen him play since he was a Sophomore in high school. He was over rated

Case of a man playing against boys? Superior size and strength at that age?

Yes he was. I was watching since 8th grade.

If Mac Markway sticks around, that’ll just be another body he has to compete with. Add to that Carter Nelson bulking for more TE duties.

Probably not, but if he truly wants to be an All American he needs to do everything possible to make it happen. And if he’s too scared to re-injure his knee he shouldn’t be playing.

Frankly, I don’t care about her feelings or whatever. He hasn’t been anything special. He did have some injuries and that’s a shame, but is what it is. His blocking was mediocre, and really kinda shitty based on his size and supposed athleticism
I really don’t care if he leaves, especially with our new TEs coming in.

I don't get the "supposed athleticism" comment when it's known he had 2 major knee injuries?

I take it no one told Shirley that he isn’t first team anymore

 

[HuskerMania257460]

Fidone was never the player he was hyped to be. He still could be a red zone threat with his catch radius and vertical but he was never the dude our media kept insisting on

 

[oldjar07]

I don’t think he did. And we were great without him… that says something

I do love this “accountability” thing… it works wonders

A couple of posters have been preaching accountability for years. Almost like they knew exactly what they were talking about. Glad accountability is finally starting to be instilled in the players and coaching staff.

 

[wondrboy]

Gotta feel bad for any kid whose mommy goes public like that (if it was really her). Embarrassing for him, to say the least

 

[HuskerAlum92]

I don’t know what Fidone might have been without injury. I do know how he has looked on the field for us, and it leaves me wanting something better. Better blocking, more YAC, fewer mistakes.
