Interesting take from a former Husker

Hard to argue with that. Although a couple more offensive linemen would be a good idea too.
I hope someone else can chome in here, but i could have sworn frost said something about winemaster and people doing the right thing...like winemaster was going to be playing, anyone hear that?
Post game interview
Post game interview
Jacob Weinmaster got a lot of action in the second half. Frost said in his post game presser he’s going to ride with him because he does things the right way.
the offense did leave the defense on the field the whole first half
pretty clear we need a lot more depth on the DL. They did alright (not great, but serviceable) in the 1h, but were mostly blown off the ball in the 2h. Our safeties leave a lot to be desired. Lamar....doesn't really want to play. Lee and Bootle try but aren't great players. Would like to see more of what Cam Taylor can do - he looks the part.
This is great. But it was 5 games too late. And I know nothing about Weinmaster. But I do know I would be a much happier human if I never had to watch Young play football again.
Just sounded like what he was saying. Maybe read too much into it but go listen again. Just my take.
He should be. He seems to wait for the action to come to him instead of filling a hole, but even if he did fill a hole he'd get trucked. I think he's the weakest link on a dismal defense.
No doubt about that. Interesting that it was Weinmaster and not Miller that filled in.
I told the wife during the game, it is the offense's job to keep the defense off the field but the defense has to get itself off the field.
This is an interesting take, because we don't use a fullback in this offense. And I don't think we want to fill the guards spots with walk-ons like Conrad. We need better talent across the board.
Martinez, Washington, and Spielman are great, but other than them we are severely lacking young talent at the skill positions. You need multiple backs and 5 good receivers for this offense to really thrive. Our 3rd best receiver right now is a walk-on. We need more talent at the receiver position.
It's about time. Maybe Young leads the team in prayer sessions and his Mom bakes cookies for us and he has the hottest girlfriend and he gets straight A's, but his *** needs to see the bench.
Weinmaster flashed in the Spring game, not surprising to me.
Also,Shanle is clearly venting here, this isn't 1980, we don't need fullbacks but a few guards at walk-on would be nice.
This is a good sign. He's an adequate athlete and we need smarts and toughness one helluva lot more than athleticism. Young's athleticism doesn't translate onto the field at all
I like “Winemaster” much more. I am a winemaster, and I do not play football.
He said linebackers that want to destroy, not murder limo drivers!
I like the change. Give me the guy who plays smart and with fire, every play.
Can we have a Beermeister too?

Ummm is he even following this team? "Fullback" he should know we don't use fullbacks any more.
At least he was in position to get steamrolled. Lol.
What I found interesting is developing our guards through the walk on system. I mean, playing guard is easier than tackle? I played receiver in high school so I’m not very well versed on the O-line play. If we can get home grown guys to play the guard and center spots, that would be amazing.
It did not help that Mick and D. Thomas did not play, couple that with Honas being out and the front 7 was missing three key guys.
In listening to Frost, he said that he’s going to roll with the guys who do it right, like Weinmaster. But right after that, he said that we need more playmakers on defense (alluding that the Weinmasters of the world aren’t going to beat the big boys, and I agree ). But then after that he said that we have enough talent to beat teams this year.
Translation: He is playing the guys who give it 100%. We have enough talent this year to win a few games against teams like Minn, Ill, Bethune. To Beat team like Wisc, Mich, Ohio St and play for championships, we don't have enough raw talent to do it.
