Talent (lack of) and the defense

[Mr.Scary13]

No statistics needed for this, just facts. The pass defense looks putrid, no denying it, now let's look at what's trotting out on the field. This is the current DBs and the scholarship offers:
Davie KU, North Dakota St, Ohio
Kalu Arkansas St, Duke, Houston, Louisiana Lafayette, Texas St
Cockrell MTSU, Northern Colorado, Southern Miss
K Williams Indiana, Cal, BYU, Iowa
C Jones Florida AM, FIU, UMass, MTSU, Presbyterian
Mosley Baylor, Oklahoma, SMU
Gerry ASU, Iowa, Michigan St, Minnesota

Now take into account there's no one on this roster at DE that can pressure a QB and the joke of linebacker roster management under the great Pelini and maybe you can understand what's going on now.

Logic and facts don't matter to some agenda driven posters.

You have to realize theae guys would have gotten way more offers but Nebraska locked them down early

That really is true with Gerry. He is NFL talent.

Freedom is the only DL that has pressured the QB.

Why did you leave off the rivals 250 CB that starts?


Last year you guys were clamoring about how much a stud Kalu was.

This board is becoming a joke.

The coaching sucks so far...how bout yall have some balls to call it like it is. It doesn't mean you support Bo.

Talent has nothing do with clock management and penalties.

The talent gap us in the coaching right now as well.

Is he really? He's one of the few with legit offers and looks the part, with great straight line speed, but his lateral quickness and stop start quickness is pretty subpar IMO.

Sad, because we have a good enough offense to win the West, but our defense will keep us out any kind of championship and maybe a bowl game.

I would bet Gerry plays on Sundays.

Bo spent more time job hunting ( I believe Arkansas, Miami & hoping the OSU would call) then he did properly recruiting. Didn't he favor recruiting by car?

The lack of 1st string talent and back- ups are standing out like a sore thumb. Then we have the mental and doghouse beatings, the us against them brainwashing...a few years of that would run a dog off.

No way I'm posting Riley is the Man, but I don't think he'd tell us to fek off or kiss his ass. He needs his recruits & time. Bo did good with Calley's boys.

The defensive coaching is exceptional too. Love the pass defense. From highly rated pass defense to nearly last in one year. Gonna be a long year with this defense.

I know I prefer Bo Pelini's record-setting defense as well. That record being, 408 yards rushing allowed to one kid in three quarters. That's lights-out defense, a real Nebraska defense. I kind of miss the games where Bo let our opponent rack up 500+ yards rushing and 70 points. Miss those days.

Gerry is the top player on our defense right now. If not top, one of the top two. He has the size, athleticism, and football skills to play in the NFL. Wish he would tackle with a little better form, but he's one of a few playmakers we have on defense.

I'm with you 100%. The double standards o

If the offer list is everything don't be a hypocrite when Riley lands 5.5 3 stars being recruited by Sacramento St. and act like offer lists mean nothing. The guy recruiting right now isn't knocking down any doors.

IMO the defense has more talent then the offense but you know why no one complains about the offense? Because the coaching on that side of the ball is actually doing a HELL OF A JOB.

No one pointing fingers at the lack of offers that Brandon Rielly, Hovey, Andy J, Utter, Kondolo or any TE that plays had. Bottom line, Lots of starters on offense weren't highly recruited but we aren't throwing Danny under the bus. Why is that?

ning ugly is better than losing. But somebody needs to find an answer - and fast. Talent does not explain why Nebraska is dead last in college football in pass defense and 102nd in total defense. Some of these same coaches were on the hot seat at their previous job due to issues, and so far, they seem to have brought their problems to Nebraska instead of leaving them behind.

Soooooo true but no one admits it here. Gerry was actually a ND lean but switched. New he wouldn't start there until his jr year.
