Fall camp thread 2024

[Pepe Silvia]

The field condenses in the redzone and more importantly on the goalline. When you are going to be running many times anyway due to the passing windows shrinking, a running threat at QB to add another eligible player the defense has to account for rather than possibly risking injury to Raiola is something I really like. Further, Haarberg is more than a wildcat RB playing the position, he has a much better arm than an average wildcat insert.

It also gives the defense other things they have to prepare for, one of the many reasons that teams like Oregon run the swinging gate PAT attempt. They run maybe one play a game out of it, but the defense has to spend much more time getting ready to defend it. With practices limited by the NCAA, that's another leg-up we can have.

For Nebraska, they already installed the running packages for Haarberg last year anyway, so you aren't introducing anything new. In regards to your last sentence, what if we leave Raiola in and he throws a pick? How many people would be screaming to just do a QB sneak or run the ball?

There's a time and a place for HH at QB IMO.

I don't disagree with most of this post, but couldn't disagree now with the bolded part. The goal line with tight windows is the last place I'd trust HH to throw

If Peyton Manning’s wobbly ass can successfully run naked bootleg at goal line surely DR15 can pull it off.

He's a turnover machine and until he learns to take care of the ball I don't want him on the field at all. I don't get the love affair some have with him.

And, if my most talented player throws an int. Well, shit happens. He'll make a helluva lot more good plays than bad.

I really hope Dowdell becomes the guy. Love his running style and having a big back like down the stretch would be ideal.

He better step it up because he's not in the top 3 based on the Saturday preview practice.

If HH comes in on the GL, windows aren't tight. Not for a thumper at QB that is going to run 2 plays...Q Power, Q Duo. They're going to suck up...hard. He'd literally throw a bluff route, a corner route, or possibly a pop pass, and in all likelihood, when those are called, you're getting guys one on one, or dudes come wide open because they're selling out to stop the Q Power and Q Duo. A defense isn't sitting in a 2 high shell playing zone coverage on the 2 yard line when the offense is in 14, 22, 23, or 32 personnel.

It's situational football. Every defense changes under the 10 yard line, and even more so under the 5 yard line.

Will he fumble less

His fave play is the fumble play so I doubt it

On Gradney we've had 1 spring practice on the turf and one? fall practice on the turf now with three knee injuries two season ending hopefully this doesn't become a trending problem throughout the season.

My point was that I would trust him infinitely more than a RB at the spot.

He had 11 fumbles and 4 lost in 10 games. Don't think we can trust shit.

Why? I just don't see it.
