If there is only one thing you should get excited about with Sanders joining the squad it's this comment from their board in reference to how Marvin coached the backs while at nu:

"Do you think Raymonds technique at the beginning was more finesse where Marvins seemed to be maybe a little more aggressive???

I don't think our guys jammed the recievers up at the los as much this year as in the past. Maybe my imagination."


So you're telling me our defensive backs might start jamming at the line??? I have NEVER seen a player of ours do that! Welcome Marvin!!!

I agree. It seems like our DBs always line up at least 7 yards off the WR.  I guess the theory was that it was better the opposing team scored on 9 or 10 plays rather then 1 or 2… >:(

Something tells me that the reason we have not done this is due to lack of confidence by the coaching staff in that they would end up getting burned too many times for big gains afterwards to warrant it, or a bump and run style of coverage.

yeah, that used to burn me up. so they were afraid to lose…we did that, lots of it. Logic would say , let's try something different…but we all know what happened.

The DBs will be very aggressive and Jam receivers. Nebraska was outstanding at this 2 years ago when Sanders was coaching but not so much this year. The problem with this was penalty flags thrown on the DBs. How much jamming of receivers you will see depends on how the refs call it in your conference. With Nebraska moving to the Big 10 this past year, I think the D backs where a little less aggressive. The conference move to the B1G was probably more the reason than Sanders leaving. Look for Carl to build the defense from the line out. He will probably move to a 4 man line and recruit a D line that can pressure the QB with very little help from blitz packages. The LBs will help a lot with coverage. Pelini defense results in a lot of coverage sacks.

Good, get Cory back to DE and let him rush the qb! Turn him loose and no way he gets less than 10 sacks. Randall can blitz occasionally but the LB's are quick so coverage should'nt be a problem.
The Huskert D suffered some dropoff this year from the changeover from being a smaller faster D for the Big12 spread O's to having to face bigger run dominated Big10 O's.

Hasn't he been at DE? Or did they move him to LB?
