Defensive mvp

He's really only looked good when rushing and the offense has a bad play design for our defensive call. In those situations he is in the back field in a blink of the eye. Outside of that I feel like he's looked very average.
I am still trying to get over the 17 play, 75-yard, almost 10 minute drive in the 2nd quarter. But I'll go with Wright.
I'd say right now either Ceyair or Singleton with McCullough and Nwarei coming on. Javin has also put together two good games in a row. The Wright Brothers might be TAKING OFF!
Having a guy like Ceyair just makes it easier for the rest of the defense
That Nwarnie kid is the best player on the team and will only get better. He is a freak.
Basically, if you take away all of his good plays then he's pretty average? Got it.
Ceyair doesn't get talked about as much as he should, but that is because he is doing his job too well. Marshall has also been solid at corner. We may be seeing the best of all worlds for the defense, with the veterans playing well and some of the new kids really coming on, like Nwaneri, Pietrzak, Merrit, Jones and Guthrie. Right now the whole deal on defense seems to be waiting for the Dline to gel. There seems to be a mismatch of available Dline talent for the 3 man front, and the solution seems to be running a diversity of alignments. But they are finding out what kids work together in certain packages. More like 2023 than 2024.
Andrew Marshall
The dude goes out and does his job and doesn't act like wins the game with every tackle he makes. His technique and form are solid. Best part... he isn't afraid to light someone up.

On the other side of the coin, Keona Davis, Cam Lenhardt and Riley Van Poppel (all non-transfers) have been pretty underwhelming.
He's damn good now. Just wait till he's a bit stronger and truly understands what he's doing. That kid from the Dakotas is gonna be a problem too. Jones, Guthrie, Merritt. Man the future is looking good.
Holla
Reminded me a lot of Neil Smith last game. If he continues to improve he's going to be a problem
Pretty intriguing draft class for NU next year. Raiola and Nwaneri, with Barney and Hunter. Throw in Marshall, Shavers, and Lindenmeyer for good measure. I'm in no way saying these players will leave early, just that I think that they will all be on the NFL radar.
He doesn't have that super freaky "bend" and spider like tackling that RG did but he is still a freak.
I would almost have him lean up JUST a bit and have him look a bit more like a power forward.
I feel great about the win!!
But I can’t get that drive out of my head. It was 9:46, but in real time it seemed like an hour. Just saying. GBR
Disagree. Let him naturally bulk up as he gets older. Don't try to put weight on him, but don't try to slim him down.
Love those high caliber FCS guys. Great find. Love it when corners are proven returners too. Screams athleticism.
