LolI feel we have the best linebackers in the B1G10. What say you?

Kind of undersized for Big10 at ILB even though they are good playersReimers and Henrich are the best pair of inside LBs we've had in many years. But our outside LBs aren't to be confused with Von Miller.
the linebacker talent is precisely what you would expect to see on a team that went 1-9 in the conference
watch at the 2:50 mark - Heinrich wiffs while Reimers is getting pancaked 15 yards past the LOS
those 2 are awful
I'm confused by your comparison -- isn't Von Miller in the NFL? Our guys are in college, right? There isn't any college LB good enough to be compared to Von Miller. Also, Von Miller is an outside LB that rushes the QB, Reimers and Henrich are inside LB's, right? I'll answer my own question -- Correct they are!Reimers and Henrich are the best pair of inside LBs we've had in many years. But our outside LBs aren't to be confused with Von Miller.

okay, our outside linebacker don't compare to Broderick Thomas, Trev Albert, or Jimmie Williams. Better?I'm confused by your comparison -- isn't Von Miller in the NFL? Our guys are in college, right?

And for the record they are good inside LB's and will only get better!
GO BIG RED!!!
He's constantly **** on by fans...not sure how that makes him overrated?Henrich is overrated. I do think we have some good young OLB talent in Gunnerson, Butler, and maybe Gifford moves there eventually.

We had a comment saying he's the best ILB in years. I've seen him play enough to know that's not true. For one, he's slow, probably runs a 5.0 40 at best. Second, he often gets himself out of position. He's a mediocre starting linebacker.He's constantly **** on by fans...not sure how that makes him overrated?
Your first sentence is incorrect. He took bad angles last year, he's not slow physically. Once again I'll ask... how is he overrated if most fans think he's bad?We had a comment saying he's the best ILB in years. I've seen him play enough to know that's not true.

Not many are going to compare to those guys.okay, our outside linebacker don't compare to Broderick Thomas, Trev Albert, or Jimmie Williams. Better?
Wistrom was a DE.Not many are going to compare to those guys.
Ya forgot Grant Wistrom btw.
Didn't they technically play Olb in our 5-2 days? Alberts at least I'm positive was as he won the Butkus. A LB award.Those other guys weren't?
They were just badasses.Didn't they technically play Olb in our 5-2 days? Alberts at least I'm positive was as he won the Butkus. A LB award.
Alberts only played in the 4-3 his last yearAlberts played in the 4-3. Williams and Thomas were in the 5-2. Nebraska has a lot of good edge rushers in their history, one of their better positions.
I don't know the answer to the linebacker question, but kool aid can hit you two ways......mindless enthusiasm or brain-dead pessimism. Neither are good worlds to live in.Our LBs will not be better than OSU , PSU, Wisky, Michigan for certain. Doubtful they are on par with MSU or Iowa either. Kool aid in the off season continues to be a mind altering drug.
