Getting close to year 30! Doing good

That's wild. Honestly it's weird that when I played for him he had only been there for like 5 or 6 years. I sucked at football (was always a baseball player and just decided to play football too as a junior and senior) but he was always great to me.

I’ve never met someone who doesn’t absolutely love the guy

Potentially the most intimidating set of WR starters ever? Two 6'4 220lbs guys on the outside and a 6'2 220lbs in the slot. With a QB that can get them the ball and a lot of depth behind them that could line up in multiple different packages.

They will also be able to block the shit out of DBs.

Didn’t Bonner run a sub 4.4 40 in high school?
At that weight if he’s still fast could be interesting

This is going to be the most racist thing I've ever said in my life...

I am so relieved that Branch isn't a white dude

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I'm also a fan of putting big ass dudes in the slot and forcing some nickel back to tackle them 15 times a game

I thought the exact same thing when @2010sarenevercomingback posted his bio.

WR rotation should be fun to watch this year.
Think you’ll stil see a lot of Carter, Lloyd and Coleman.

Not a lot of surprises here other than:

1. Wtf is a Derek Branch?
2. The day that we see our most electric players back returning punts, instead of guys coming off knee surgery, will be a joyous, wonderful day for Husker football. I can't wait for it.

I think most are selling IGC short. I really think he could have 300+ yards this year.

2 years ago, the only thing that held him back was between the years...but he had all of the physical tools you could ask for and flashed early on in 2022. Last year he went done game 1. But he seems better than ever at this point. I truly feel that we would be a starter on a handful of other B1G teams.

Cant wait to see Barney play. Rhule is critical on freshman wideouts earning it and knowing their playbook, and he cant get enough of this guy.

Kinda disappointed in Malachi. I know hes been banged up but, really thought he would be further ahead after a strong end to last year.

I don't think there is anything to be disappointed in just because of where he is on the depth chart right now. He will play and play a lot. There is a big difference between him at the #3 and Alex Bullock at #3. This room is so much deeper and more talented than it was 12 months ago. It's insane.

How is that manifesting in his play though? Is he dropping passes because he's nervous? Is he running the wrong route because he's not able to focus?

The mental aspect is important, but only to the point where it impacts what you're doing physically. Ultimately, his ability to physically perform is what determines whether he'll play, so what are the mental/confidence issues doing to his play?

From the outside looking in, so this is obviously just a guess, but if I were to break down what I think is going on with MC it would be:

1. His mental struggles are mostly related to playing through pain and toughness
2. He seems to be "hurt" and on the bike a lot and therefore not practicing
3. When you barely practice all week and then tell Rhule you're good to go on game day, I'm guessing you won't play much because the staff and your teammates can't trust you. Even if you're all-world athletically, you haven't taken care of business during the week so you ride the pine.

Again, just a guess, but this looks like the issue to me.

Was he the one with the dad drama on twitter?
