Dont you have to tackle in football?..if you don't practice it at full speed...how do you get better?

Visitor

beginning to be not football

Jeff Barker

Nebraska has had plenty of tackling issues in last couple years.... this would be a horrible decision.

jrs1956

Horrible idea. Tacking well, especially in space, requires lots of repetitions at speed. For most of the last 10 years, Huskers haven't done well at it.

Dean Iversen

To teach tackling fundamentals, you have to tackle. Not saying it has to be during a scrimmage, could be one on one training, but it seems that at least SOME tackling could be beneficial.

Jerry Wilks

It's tackle Football, come on, get with it!🏈🏈🏈

Scott Snell

Practice makes perfect. You need to practice tackling to be and get better. You will lose some fundamentals when you stop tackling during the regular season. Practice is meant to get better and iron out the problem areas.

Scott Ferguson

not practicing is only going to lead to more injuries.

Jerry Williams

Where do you get the practice. How do you get to the big game, practice, practice.

Ken Larson

It's football-dont like the sport, pick another!

Jerry W. Morrow

If you wait for a real game to practice tackling all your going to do is increase the injurys

Joe Lazure

Like any other sport, practice makes perfect and the one thing you can't get rusty on throughout the season is tackling.

Stephen Johnson

They already use poor tackling techniques

Visitor

Stop trying to eliminate the violence in a violent game. That is one of the many things fans are drown to. If you don't want to two be injured as a player, don't play, if you don't like watching don't

Alan Blackburn

Practice like you play!

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

Terrence Smith

... and I hope I'm wrong.

Randy Wolf

Michigan.

VAHuskerFan

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Suicide Slush Puppie

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jerry Goodwin

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

They are living on borrowed time.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.

Brad Loseke

Different backs have skills for different situations.
