how to hit the blonde in the 5th row. The kid has almost zero pocket presence. He holds the ball too long and needs to learn how to throw it away when the play's not there.
With the 15 practices, teach Raiola

- Start date
Hopefully he learns he can't be holding the ball as long as he sometimes does. OCDH has touched on that some and he got a little better in our latter games. Yesterday he reverted back to his mid season ways on some throws.
And if you're gonna run, commit to it & tuck the ball away!

There in lies the problem. 15 more practices with a poor coach is not going to help DR.
The speed of the game is 500% faster than HS. It takes time to learn your new clock. I am sure there were more important things to work on, like footwork, throwing on time, and staying on platform... Which all still need work.
I think that issue is he doesn’t climb the pocket. His fumble at the end of the game is a prime example.
He sits back there like it’s 7 on 7. He has absolutely no pocket awareness. I personally thinks he’s afraid to run.
I want Neyors replacement getting all the reps, time for the next guy
I wish the coaches would give all the bowl err exhibition game reps to all the younger guys. Sit Neyor, Banks, Findone ext in the game and play all the younger guys.
I feel the same way- he needs to drop about 10-15 pounds and work on speed and pocket awareness- he’s not mobile
Hall and Q Clark need to be getting reps with the 1.
Here’s that last play if the game against Iowa. Just climb the pocket. No reason for that to be a sack. If he really wants to model his game after Mahomes this would be a great place to start, no one does it better.

Great point. But sometimes our interior line gets driven back into him and that's also been a targeted area for blitzes.
Now we all know why Neyor rode the bench at Texas.
No more portal transfers who were not standouts at their previous school.
Banks stepped up a little finally against Iowa. As for Fidone, I think him only playing two plays against Wisconsin had a lot to do with an OC who doesn't know the players' names yet. He also doesn't know how many stars they had back in high school. DH just went by what he saw in practice. Go figure.
According to Rhule and DH, the first 8-10 practices are for the young players to develop, the final 5-6 are for game prep.
Getting the critical mistakes taken care of would be a huge win for Nebraska. Fumbles, Int's, special team disasters, dropped balls, overthrown passes, dumb penalties. There's so much that needs to get better.
