No Block, No Rock

[slattimer]

Is this the dumbest fucking saying/philosophy Frost has in regards to WRs.

How about, No Rock for your freak WRs that can actually catch a deep ball, No Job for Frost.

 

[huskermack]

I wish these kids would just do what they're being coached to do (allegedly).
Block AND blow our minds with freak-show catches/routes/TDs/whatever.

Why can't we have both? They're both important.

Was thinking the same thing when he said that. He also said this is the best receiving corps he's had since they've been at Nebraska.

Well how about fucking playing them then!?!?

Probably aging myself a bit, because this will come across as old-fashioned, but isn't holding them accountable to blocking how you build a culture? I'm with you on the frustration of not getting our best pass catchers on the field, but if they're lazy with blocking, I'm sure there'd be those that #1 - actually noticed #2 - bitched about it. FTR, I probably wouldn't notice if they blocked or not, but I'd notice it if Boobie housed a couple of passes.

I liked @huskermack post above. Why can't they just do what they're asked so they can see the field?

How much do those speedy little shits at Miami block? Oklahoma?

Change your fucking scheme a bit if you fast WRs can’t block as well as you would like.

Jesus Suffering Fuck I am pissed.

Maybe they try to block, but they just aren't very good at it.

Yes, it would be nice to have both. And if they're not good at both, then what are you teaching them. There comes a point though, if you can't get your dudes on the field because they can't block well, but can't blow the fucking top off a defense and catch Touchdowns and chase some fine ass phillies, Then what the fuck are we doing, because no one wins and Frost eventually gets fired.

Yeah, it's been a bad look for sure - especially if reports of our "dudes" being freaks is more than hype.
We sure-as-shit can't win with what we put on the field Saturday.

Already said but it may not be effort related. Just not very good at it or too small and wimpy.

Small and wimpy can still run fast and catch gud.

The blocking on the perimeter was nothing spectacular on Saturday. The reality is that Frost said he will get the players that give thee team the best chance to win on the field. Not sure if that is true for our WR Corp.

 

[betsch]

If we punish the bad blockers who are WR, do we punish the WR who suck and can't catch?

Our offense on Saturday was merely a mirage... something to lull our week 2 opponent into a false sense of security before throwing our high octane offense at them, leaving them bewildered and on the ropes.

We don't want to decimate the confidence of these fragile freshmen by throwing them to the vastly superior players of OSU. That would set them back and considering it's a free year of eligibility that would be really damaging in the long run.

Finally, it is difficult to instill a winning culture without wins. So we must settle for smaller victories like completing a block on the perimeter.

 

[huskerj12]

I just don't get it. How can all of these recruiting gem guys be blocking THAT badly?? How can these other guys who weren't even recruited by P5 teams be blocking SO much better that it makes up for their many clear deficiencies? Especially when WR is potentially a huge obvious missing link to having a sweet offense that could hang with anybody? Why do we always have so many mysterious circumstances in our football program regardless of who the coaches and players are??

 

[SoCal_Corn]

He needs to play them

AND.......if they are THAT bad at blocking, wouldn't you notice that when you were recruiting them?

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I can see how kneecapping the offense on 100% of plays is preferable to playing a guy who only blocks 65% of the guys in front of him

 

[Adolph Coors]

ive been saying NBNR is fucking stupid for a long time and i thought maybe i was the only one. thank you Lat

 

[betsch]

It is kind of like telling Peyton Manning he can't play QB because he can't run the option.

I’m sure Saban is similar here. He will just replace a kid with someone as good. We don’t have that luxury.
