RBs and WRs

[huskerfan66]

Was at the game. Didn’t see anythjng positive. In fact, the entire team has sucked since they figured out they beat Colorado at half time. Was that their goal? Revenge?

I’m still miffed how our team had two weeks to prepare for Indiana than showed up clueless and admittedly, “not ready”

If I were the boss; Rhule would have one more game where they weren’t ready and then I’d tell him to make other plans. Of course this won’t happen because we signed him to a ridiculous contract.

I wonder if the team gave up. Good thing we have OsU next.
Opportunity knocks.

Yep all part of our opossum plan

With what we have you have to have a dual threat QB. Dylan is a great QB, but you can't lack the WR's and OL we do and not have someone who is mobile to cover things up. Talent influx needs to happen ASAP.

I think it's way too early to say Dylan is a great qb...

In reality, he hasn't done shit yet. Yeah you can see he has arm talent and doesn't typically make terrible decisions. But he's far from a finished product so far. I don't think we need to kowtow any decisions towards his feelings.

We shouldn’t be so weak at TE, Fidone was a top recruit and Carter Nelson could have gone to any program he wanted to! Fidone is becoming more useful now, and yes Nelson is a freshman but he’s gone MIA in big ten play. Something is wrong at that position group as well. Depends how the rest of this season goes but I feel like Rhule should make a move to improve the program and start over with all new offensive coaches (other than Raiola unless Dylan leaves).

Fire everyone but Uncle Donnie. Promote him to assistant HC. Hire a real OC and let him hire some real assistants. Then fire Donnie the day after Dylan transfers.

He needs to learn to run the ball 3-5 times a game when the situation calls for it. He literally refuses to run the ball, even when there’s 25 yds of open field in front of him. You don’t have to be a “running QB” to do that and most all the good ones have that instinct and it kills defenses. When you have an offense at 3rd and 7 and the QB scrambles for 9 it takes the life out of a defense. And DR doesn’t even try to do that.

Is he in shape? He looks a little pudgy to me.

Ankle bothering him?

Hell we had first and goal at the 4 and we had 3 passing plays and one run, line up in the I formation and add a extra tackle and run the dam ball 4 times and score, but not satt

IDK? 🤷‍♂️

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

you'll never see this kind of cowardice from me. I answer the bell every single time.

accountability and integrity are the two most important things a man can possess.

take notes, johnny.

Yeah but you are talking about message board accountability and integrity.

Both of which are meaningless.

Not to me.

People talk about vision but I wonder if young RBs understand cutback angles. It seems the backs just run the play directly at the predetermined gap or zone, whether there’s a hole or not.

Hopefully, our running backs coach is teaching them the right things.

Coaching.
Backs who avoid the gap called or try to bounce everything get in trouble, but then overcorrecting to be rigid and blindly tied to the play called isn’t helpful.
While instincts play a role, coaching matters.

Damon Benning is pretty good at breaking down film. He needs to start talking now and not two years from now when things have gone over a cliff.

He won’t

Does it look like he is?

 

[Redblood23]

These backs are just not very good.

No no no. Mahomes has dad body and that’s by design. That’s how you truck safeties.
