2017 Spring Practices Thread

[Skerpokes]

Bryan Reimers with a serious knee injury? I heard rumors of this on Tuesday but hadn't heard anything since. Not good if true.

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY HITTING IN PRACTICE? PEOPLE GET HURT THAT WAY!

Did I do it right?

 

[corn train]

The free loaner bikes are no longer available this year, moar leg injuries as result

 

[HuskerPower52]

Do we have a number one RB yet?

 

[corn train]

I hear they been practicing with real foseballs this year, with all the recruits coming in Sat we really can't afford to lose this game so it had better pay off

Anyone else watching the spring game live online or is everyone just waiting for it to air on BTN?

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

Watching on BTN now. Tried to stream it and it wouldn't work on my phone. I was out in the middle of nowhere though.

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

All I got to say is there is a severe drop off between the 1s and 2s. Really unable to tell anything else. Quarterbacks looked good but we are going to have to wait to see what happens when they get some pressure. Had all the time they asked for today.

I watched on BTN. I did yard work during the Ohio State game and watched the Michigan game until I napped. Woke up at around 4 Pm only to see the Michigan game was still on.

Langsdorf has a good problem with his QB crew. Gebbia is definitely going to be pushing for a starter in 2018. I don't think the coaches will be wrong on who is the starter for 2017. I still think it is Lee, but O'Brien played very well.

All the running backs looked good. Bryant, Wilbon, Ozigbo, Rose, and Mazour. It looks like Bryant just has a faster step into the hole than the rest to me. I think Bryant will be the starter.

Nice to see Spielman looking good at receiver. Williams son caught quite a few balls.

I hope to see the Kick and Punt return team be Spielman and Mazour.

Not happy to see that Lightbourn still had bad punts. First punt was great then he had a stinker, and there wasn't any pressure on the punts he could just kick.

For defense, Gifford looks nice and strong. I have always liked Weber, I thought he was better than Banderas. I know Avery Roberts played but Gifford stole the show. I will guess the starters are Weber, Gifford, Roberts, and Young.

D backs are solid. Best position group on the team.

No clue on the d line. Wasn't really much pressure on the QBs all day.

Knevel looked like he actually grew some more. I know he is 6' 8" or something but he looked taller.

I don't think anyone had a bad injury, and that is a good thing. Austin Rose fell on the football late and took the point to his sternum and he didn't play after that.

My wife and I plan on attending the Illinois football game this year.

Am I the only one who thinks Keyshawn Jr. looks soft and over hyped?

He is an early enrollee meaning he should still be in high school. He's also had some complications since his appendectomy in December and hasn't been full go in workouts or practices yet. That said, some of our fans are morons, so you're probably not the only one that thinks so.

Well apple doesn't fall from tree. K Sr. was kinda soft IMO. I expect he'll be OK, but not lights out.

 

[Skerpokes]

I'm not trying to hate on the kid but he doesn't really pass the eyeball test for me and he's certainly built up some hype on himself. Time to walk the walk

 

[oaknightshockey1]

He runs good routes and has good hands. The fumble in the spring game is obviously not a good thing but that is somewhat to be expected from someone in his situation. He's been a redshirt candidate from day 1, and everyone (including him) is aware of that. The only chance he doesn't redshirt is if we don't have enough WR depth.

 

[HuskerPower52]

He's 17 or 18...

 

[tometom]

This is what I'm excited for, the anticipation of knowing where a guy should be and throwing it to where he can make the catch. TA would never have attempted that throw, or if he did he would over throw it for an incompletion, or worse, underthrow it for an INT.

 

[huskers1217]

I'm news that surprised no one. Tanner named starter

I hate talking to you when you're drank 2010
