Jarvis Redwine highlights

[bigboxes]

Loved watching this! Tough and speed. LOL at the tearaway jerseys. My parents named our dog Jarvis Redwine.

A frat brother of mine was an O linemen that played when Redwine was there. Let’s just say Jarvis had a very difficult time learning the playbook so they had to tell him where to go on every play in the huddle. He was just too explosive to demote because of his inability to remember the playbook.

Ya some of the players just weren’t the sharpest tool in the shed . I went to high school with a WB that played during the Turner gill era . He said player’s bringing the play in from TO couldn’t remember it all be the time they got to the huddle. He said Turner was smart enough to figure out what TO was thinking and he got the correct play called.

man, do you ever stop with the bullsh!t???

I remember he got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting on the 90 yard TD run against OU that is in the clip. I was too young to remember watching Johnny R as a player, but that Redwine play still sticks in my memory to this day as that was the first time I could remember during the TO era where we had a guy that was too fast for OU.

Miss having that homerun threat in the backfield. Its been a long time as our best RB's in recent years, while I'm glad we had them (Rex. Ameer, Ozigbo, Emmett), weren't that guy. Helu might have been the last.

What part don’t you believe? That Frat part or the part that Jarvis was a box of rocks. Lavante David didn’t do his assignment correctly most of the time but he made to many plays not to be on the field.

When last seen, Jarvis was working as a baggage handler at LAX

Good for him. Great pay and benefits. I got to hang out with the A’s players from a celebration reunion of one of their World Series championships. I talked with the pitcher Blue Moon Odom at one point and he proudly talked about being a school janitor for over 40 years. Great guy. The world needs good baggage handlers and janitors too.

Damn.

Thanks. Forgot how good he was. Had a 12 jersey as a little feller because of Jarvis before Turner Gill came on the scene. (No, it wasn't a Husker jersey as they didn't make them back then, it was just some cheap **** from Kmart that wasn't the right colors, but I loved it.)

Holy **** was he fast. 0 to 60 in a heartbeat. Loved the tearaway jerseys. Feel priviliged to have witnessed those days.

You can't spell his name nor understand the difference between to and too, ironic you are criticizing his mental ability. He had a 14 year NFL career and will be in the hall of fame, and he played one of the most intellectually demanding positions on a defense. He was also new to Bo's defense and might account for any rumor you heard.

Jarvis Redwine played defense? I think he primarily played on special teams and kick returner in the NFL for the MN Vikings.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this was also the case for our last game breaking RB - Mo Washington

Good thing you can’t teach speed because these guys wouldn’t be able to learn it!

Being born in Inglewood in 1957 is way different than being born anywhere in America in 2000. Just the amount of lead Jarvis probably ingested in the inner city would account for any learning disabilities let alone awful education and violent surroundings. Mo didn't come off as unintelligent...seemed more like he had ADHD...and we know Frost and his coaches couldn't teach or coach. He went to Grambling State and had 2000 total yards rushing and receiving and averaged 7 ypc.

Frost couldn’t coach but he did have an eye for talent

Not looking forward to next year with a roster full of Rhule’s guys

Misery players did their best to injure Redwine in 1980, of course OU showed up that year and got another late td for the win. Damn.

Didn’t hear any rumor. Heard it from the Horses mouth first hand . Bo literally told me he was swimming in it and it just wasn’t at first. But Bo knew he had to be on the field because he just made plays. Some players just have that ability.

Lavonte was known for being instinctual and he was a juco transfer. But I think after a 14 year hall of fame career, a super bowl win, he should probably get the benefit of the doubt that he can also think a little. The most difficult position in Bo's defense was at linebacker...it required over the top complex reads from LB but also safety. Ever wonder why we gave up 300 to 400 yards to certain teams rushing...our lbs and safeties couldn't make the proper reads and find the proper leverage. This is likely as much to do with Bo as Lavonte.

Bo also said the huskers wouldn't lose a beat without Suh...so...

The hero worship for Blo is something else. Dude couldn’t stop a runny nose.

 

[Scoop123]

I love the #12 in red. Gill and Redwine with the same jersey number. A thing of beauty. Ganz, Humm and Reynolds do it very proud as well. But Gill and Redwine 12 highlights just take me to my happy place.

I always chuckled at the Bolievers destroying Callahan for his huge playbook then slobbering over Bo’s defensive genius. Bo’s defensive playbook was just as extensive as Callahan’s offensive one.

I do think Bo knew D. I just think he needed a lot more elite players to run it. College practice time probably didn’t allow him enough time for his players to execute it. He might have been a great NFL DC. We’ll never know.
