agree with @cubskerThe move of Heinrich to OLB is a head scratcher to me. He was in the two deep at ILB and we have two Sr's starting at ILB, that aren't real talented.

Agree both those positions have killed us for awhile now...
The only way it makes sense to me is if he's our best pass rusher, but that doesn't look good on the development of guys like Tannor.The move of Heinrich to OLB is a head scratcher to me. He was in the two deep at ILB and we have two Sr's starting at ILB, that aren't real talented.
I think it's more likely he plays 1st and 2nd downs before a pass rushing specialist (assuming we have one) or extra DB comes in on obvious passing downs.The only way it makes sense to me is if he's our best pass rusher, but that doesn't look good on the development of guys like Tannor.
Dean is claiming Tannor has turned a corner, we'll see fingers crossed....The only way it makes sense to me is if he's our best pass rusher, but that doesn't look good on the development of guys like Tannor.
Never ever ever ever believe pass rusher hype in the offseason.Dean is claiming Tannor has turned a corner, we'll see fingers crossed....
I know I know lol! But man it's been awhile, I can live with Justin Fields runnin all over us but when Wisky, Purdon't and Indiana march out those statues they call QB and we don't even get a hand on those guys it drives me nuts....Never ever ever ever believe pass rusher hype in the offseason.
So true...You know it is bad when the OLB'ers make the ILbers look like they are good.
Yeah the pass rush has been nonexistent for a long time. It's insanely frustrating to watch NU on defense and be yelling at the TV, "he's got ALL DAY BACK THERE!!!"I know I know lol! But man it's been awhile, I can live with Justin Fields runnin all over us but when Wisky, Purdon't and Indiana march out those statues they call QB and we don't even get a hand on those guys it drives me nuts....
Especially when those teams march out their backup QB and we make him look all B1G for one day. Hell the kid from Indiana had a career day against us and left the team...Yeah the pass rush has been nonexistent for a long time. It's insanely frustrating to watch NU on defense and be yelling at the TV, "he's got ALL DAY BACK THERE!!!"
They've been serviceable against the run, but to strike zero fear into QBs is not sustainable.
It makes sense. Henrich has good length. If he's got the right bulk, he's going to be good at sealing edge and covering the TE. Looking forward to what he can do

People were saying that last year too. I'll believe it when I see it.Dean is claiming Tannor has turned a corner, we'll see fingers crossed....

I hear ya man, Chins brought him up too this morning as coming on. So basically we're f&%k'd lolPeople were saying that last year too. I'll believe it when I see it.
Don't know if I believe that. If he was that good at safety, he would have stayed there. I don't think he'd be any better of a safety than he is at OLB.Jojo isn't an OLB either, they're still in a position of taking a guy who could be a 90 video game rating at his natural position and having him be an 80 at OLB so they don't have to start a 65 there.
It doesn't particularly surprise me that Henrich is at OLB, you have to have athletic guys there and they added MLB depth with Mauga-Clements and with Reimer developing like he has.
. Will probably get blasted for this but I don't think he's great @ either position, but what he does do is make a play once-in-awhile which is more than the rest do....Don't know if I believe that.

Jojo is a knacker. He's just got a nose for the ball and makes plays. He brings an intensity some of the young pups can learn from. People have dogged him for whatever reason, but he always finds a way onto the field. The guy is valuable.Don't know if I believe that. If he was that good at safety, he would have stayed there.

Agree on all that, he can hit and finds the ball. Like I said @ least he makes plays, more than the others do we march out there...Jojo is a knacker.

looky looky, someone knew what he was talking about when I said they were moving Nick Henrichs to OLB. Some gave me hell for trying to tell them this but hey....I was only passing on the info.
But in all seriousness, he’s actually playing both ILB and OLB. Per Chin, he’s just to good not to have on the field. They are trying to find ways to get him out there. That’s all. It’s not a permanent move, I pretty confident we will see him back at ILB start next season. Unless Henrichs kills it at OLB and and someone else steps up at ILB. GBR
Then why start Miller and Honas who have been nothing but a liability thus far? Just because they have seen the field more? No thanks. It was like Barry last year. Cool he's a SR with a good heart but nah fam
. Will probably get blasted for this but I don't think he's great @ either position, but what he does do is make a play once-in-awhile which is more than the rest do....
Agree with this. He makes the spectacular play on a blitz and that is what people remember. He is not a consistent play maker. I guess people can blast me as well.
That doesnt mean he doesn't disappear for periods of time, totally agree he was the only one who made plays....If the rest of the team played like him though it would be ok that he didn't do more.Are you speaking of JoJo? If so, I disagree. He had 10 TFL and INT for his first season as a LB. He was the only LB who made any actual plays last season.

Totally agree...I'm not saying he was All B10 or anything but compared to how Barry, A Davis, Tannor, Miller played last season. Gimme JoJo easily
Honas can have a pass due to injuries. Since Colin Miller is a 5th year senior with the program and still cant quite "get it", he doesn't get one.give the guys a chance, one of those guys (Honas) tore an ACL the season before and had to redshirt and the other just moved to ILB from OLB/DE the seasons before. Sounds like those 2 are coming along.
Not to mention we have Reimers who’s really blowing up and we still have Nick Henrichs at ILB too. He’s literally going to be playing both OLB and ILB. Again, they are trying to find ways to get him on the field.
