What should I believe?

What should I believe?

A: That AJ Rollins is an absolute dawg and will be our next great pass rusher? Boy aren't we glad to have him? What an athlete! Kudos to Rhule for seeing Lawrence Taylor instead of a 4th string bench sitting TE.

Or

B: Our OL is getting scorched by a guy who was a TE a few weeks ago. They can make anyone look like Reggie White.


We heard the same thing about our pass rush last year if you need reminding. And what we came to find out is that our OL was about as strong a wet toilet paper which made our DEs look good in practice. Then the season rolled around and we had no pass rush and the two worst rated OTs in our conference.

@slattimer @Faux Sean Callahan @kenyanfeline ......thoughts?

I know I'm not the only one that remembers the hype from this time last year. Personally if we had the chance to swap Corc and Benhart for any two average OTs in the portal I would do it without hesitation. And I don't want to hear Teddy this, Teddy that. Teddy is a walking healthcare bill. He hasn't made it half of a half of a season on the field yet. And the games he did play last year made us long for Corc again.

FML we are gonna suck this year aren't we?

We should forfeit all of our game this season.

The problem is that the beat writers are lazy and latch onto one or two players and ask questions about them at every press conference (AJ Rollins, Haarberg, Bullocks). The coaches will answer the questions dutifully but often use a “but” about focusing on one of two players. Simple, Tater Head and others ignore the “but” and run with the storyline because they have to CREATE headlines.

That’s why every year you have players that disappear in the fall because they really weren’t in the mix.

I would gravitate towards taking all reports out of spring practice with a massive grain of salt.

Tell that to single season receiving record holder Tyrell Spain

The burden is on the OL to prove that they are not a bag of smashed assholes.

He’s second in my heart behind only the Left-Handed Terrell Pryor, AJ Bush.

The thing about spring football is that on any team, pretty much any unit/player looking good (or bad) is always possibly a statement about either side of the ball.

It's not unique to Nebraska or us having a bad position group last year. Same type of storylines happened when we were fielding GOAT level squads on both offense & defense in the 90s, just mostly the nature of playing against yourselves.

Donovan Trashola has a nice ring to it.

I lean more towards this, as I'm more in the camp of the OL has been hyped as being "much" improved every freaking year since Pelini was shit-canned and we've yet to see a solid to above average OL, so I'm playing the wait and see game but expecting Trashola.

But I will say, last spring I thought Rollins looked pretty solid as a TE, and yet didn't play.

There is one thing working in Rollins favor ....Frost had a supernatural knack of giving the wrong guys playing time. *cough Wyatt Liewer *cough true freshman Garrett Nelson * cough Luke McCaffarty *cough too early Cam Jurgens

So maybe Rollins was good but didn't get noticed as Frost was staring at Brody Belt.

OL is trash and there’s no depth. It’s going to take Rhule at least 2 years to get the fixed. But I don’t have much faith in Raiola in terms of recruiting or development. If the OLine is trash this year and we don’t pull some top recruits, I hope we move on from him.

We all know iron sharpens iron, but does butter sharpen butter? I don't thinks so.
