Rhule and Players Media Availability 3/11

[cwessel76]

Rhule stated that he WOULD NOT be a good QB at 240 lbs. He never once said Raiola is now 240 lbs.

He also wouldn’t say that if that’s not the trajectory he’s on…

I don't know if the kid is a football player or not...but damn thats big and fast.

Alvano should just hang it up

True. He also didn’t say he wasn’t over 240. He’s likely pushing 3 bills. We’re in round mound of touchdown territory

Eh, he looks close to that honestly

Injury. He was out all last year and still listed as unavailable. He can go live his dream elsewhere

I'd be shocked if Raiola wasn't 240 at some point this offseason. He's 6'3" and thicc, so it's not like that's some inconceivable weight for him.

I would believe it

FWIW, doctors misdiagnosed him and Cavanaugh told him he was soft and to play through the pain. Turns out everything they said/did made things worse. Once the issues were realized mid/late last season, they went to a nationwide expert to get things cleaned up. Hopefully that resolves everything and he’ll be good to go in the fall.

Thanks for the update. I wasn’t aware of the backstory

We act like pre-injury he was automatic and we’re waiting for this stud to get healthy. He was 3-8 on kicks over 40 yards. Missed a couple crucial ones down the stretch that were easily makeable. And he makes it harder on himself because he naturally draws the ball. Nebraska has no time to hope he turns it around next year.

Are you confusing Mike Cavanaugh with his doppelgänger Ed Foley, or is there some other Cavanaugh in the mix here?

Yep. You are correct. My bad on the overweight white guys.

Not disagreeing with you there. I just wanted to be fair to the kid as far as the injury. Hopefully we have someone step up next year as the kicker.

I hate this for the younger guys who need all the reps they can get before Fall practice starts. For a couple on the list, I don’t know that there will ever be enough recovery time available.

Since his published weight coming out of high school was 220, I don’t think 240 is a stretch at all.

Do I think he’ll play better at that weight? Absolutely not.
