Now the third guy at ILB, Hausman's reps will decrease. Omar Brown now the backup nickel. Sanford now ahead of NPG as the backup safety.
Kolarevic no longer a nickel
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
Get more speed on the field. Period.
I dont want to see Gifford on the field for any passing downs. Unless hes blitzing.

I can't believe they even put him there to begin with. He's way to slow to try and fill JoJo's shoes. He was absolutely exposed from the opener while playing nickel. JMO. No way he was a better fit in that role than a safety or CB with more speed and length.
We’re way too small up the middle IMO. I don’t care what they’re listed at on the roster. Our DEs and backers get manhandled
They moved him when we were not deep at ILB. Wtf
Need to get javin wright ready at nickel. The kind of guy that can block a punt, that's the kind of athlete we need on the field.
Looking at NU's 2010 2 deep, one of the present DEs (Nelson) is a little light, but Wynn, Ty and esp Hutmacher are bigger than the 2010 DTs. LBs of 2010 and 2022 are comparable. Less an issue of player size than player quality.
The move concerned me when I first heard before spring. It told me they were really confident in what they had, which has proven to be very wrong, even if Snodgrass injury is a factor.
One of these days, we'll learn the story. So much potential in high school...why is he always passed over? why didn't he transfer? I'm willing to blame Frost/Chinander but what am I actually blaming them with?
Good. He never made any sense at Nickel. Maybe Brown can get on the field and make an impact. Also, don’t really know what Tannor does at SAM.
Tannor is most definitely not of the size to play up on the Dline. And after the LB play we’ve seen, I’m sure they are looking for solutions. Better for running downs? Can he cover a TE? The D is currently sucking at all levels. Limiting run yardage is a start.
tbh, I’m more interested in whether/how the approach sucks with the players we have. The talent on hand isn’t high shelf, but neither is it nearly the worst in CFB. How much of a factor is sloppy play? Are schemes changing post-Chins?
Terrible decision from the start to have him playing nickel. Then we try to makeup for terrible personnel decisions by relying on a true freshman. It's a recipe for something, but it sure isn't success.
Gifford's young and he's not slow and he's had no help on the edge. He's been getting blamed for things that aren't necessarily his fault.
Need to mix up the entire front 7, because what we have now isn't working.
And one of Pelini’s problems was a lack of size at DT after Suh and Crick left. Hutmacher never seemed to be in the game on short yardage situations when I looked for him. If you’re backers and DEs are smallish, you better stunt and blitz which means your DBs better be good.
We’ve got to change up some things to get better athletes on the field at some spots. If that means a freshman plays so be it
I hope so. I think a better defensive game plan by itself could help.
Gifford is too slow to cover a wide reliever. He is to small to cover a tight end. So what does he do?
I refuse to believe the NPG is that bad, I'm actually surprised he's still here. His girlfriend on the volleyball team transferred. The biggest issue I've had with Nebraska is player management.
Let players fail or succeed in a game when it matters. F*cking Wyatt Liewer or however you spell his name has failed. It is so weird who gets 1 chance or multiple chances to thrive at Nebraska.

Missed tackles are someone ekses fault
To slow to cover receivers is someone ekses fault.
Who else is there to help him? On a slow stretch play, he shouldn't be the only guy out there. Safeties, linebackers, etc. should all be swarming to the ball and yet noone's out there.
Are you sure he is not slow or maybe he is just slow to react. Gifford always looks like he is chasing to catch up. I've also seen him let backs/receivers slip through his grasp. Have not been impressed with him.
He’s big enough to cover a TE and many LBers struggle to cover a WR. ……
He's not playing linebacker. He's a nickle so he has to cover wide receivers. He struggles tackling and in coverage, so why is he out there. He is a classic case of a tweener. To small for backer to slow for nickle.
Was supposed to be Buddha Wright's spot, but that hasn't materialized.
Gifford is not slow. You got me on the LB comment. I’ve always heard of him discussed with the backers up until this fall.
He's not slow, and he's still a young guy with zero help most of the time. He's not doing near as bad as many people make it out to be.
Lol..he sucks get over it.
It's his job to tackle the man in the flats. Hes never going to have help.
It's his job to cover the crossing route.
You expect him to get help to do his job.
Cmon man. Help comes when you at the very least get a hand on the guy and hold on until.help arrives.
He whiffs everytime.
From the depth chart, I thought Tannor would be playing SAM is a "normal" 4-3, with Gifford swapping on downs where coverage is needed.
I wish we would just play a guy like Kolarevich there in base and a guy like Brown in Nickel. Finding a guy like JoJo that can do both is very rare.
Kolarevic and Hausmann jobs are to give Heinrich and Reimer some reps off. Tannor was actually punching above his weight playing up on/near the line. It's hard to judge his play off of the last two games, as they have been a track meet and a blow out. But does he have any feel for the SAM psn?
Brown was an FCS All American. Can he give competent play in the B1G?
No, it's similar to how Garett Nelson was always blamed because he's the only guy who was ever close to the ball. Most of the time when Nelson was blamed, it was an interior lineman or linebacker's fault for not doing their assignment correctly. It's the same thing with Gifford. Gifford has to engage 1 or multiple blockers while being the only guy on the edge. It's not an easy job, especially when the other guys are lazy or doing God knows what and not getting over there to help him.
The fact that it took this long to realize that Kolarevic isn't a nickle, the body type of a nickle, coverage skills of even a WILL linebacker is just weird.
I know that there are at least a couple talented football coaches on this team and it doesn't make sense. Kolarevic had an interview in the summer that he was almost 270lbs.

I mean there are very few out there on defense that are any good at all. Much easier to comment on those that are good then spend a bunch of time discussing those that are bad. Gifford well, he would not be talked about because he is ...
