Anything will be better than the poor tackling technique they have been using.

something the Seattle Seahawks have implemented. when taught correctly it is safer and more effective.

Seahakws have consistently been either the top or top three defenses in the NFL year in year out since implementing these techniques. They don't seem overly complicated, just a change of pace. Good call.

Played rugby for several years, always told people football would do well to adopt the rugby tackle. You definitely don't go in with your head, like a dumb a$$, when you don't have a helmet. This should help prevent lots of unnecessary targeting penalties and head/neck injuries.

Have you ever seen some of the nasty wounds caused by Rugby? 70 stitches in a forehead. Just stick with what we do! It's football!

Because He is excited to be here, He Knows the Challenges and expectations but doesn't shy away from it, He Kicked ass at Tulane,,,, if you can kick ass there, Nebraska should be even better with all the resources and support. I anticipate he will do great things.,

He knows and understands Nebraska. He talked to Dr.Tom Osborne, absolutely loves Rhule and his staff. He truly believes in the Huskers.

I think he equal to Trev Alberts. Unlike previous ADs, like Alberts, he's a 'local' guy.

If he is committed yes, but these 'elites' are a problem for decent society. They sell us down the river every time it seems. Trev owed us more explanation than we got. May A&M lose every game.

Maybe he can pull the knife out of our backs that Trev stuck in? He has forever ruined his Nebraska legacy by bailing on us! He was looking to move up probably before he took the AD job. So yes I'm excited.

We tend to take a man at his word, at least until he proves you can't. Trev did just that.

The people of Nebraska had great confidence in Trev Alberts. It is a huge step backwards when both Ted carter and Trev decided it wasn't worth it to stay and work within the system. Obviously the Board of Regents lack of leadership was the problem.

Nebraska Athletics needed major stability after years of Riley/Frost. Everyone treated Trev as the Prodigal Son, even those not from Nebraska. Husker Nation NEEDS what he has....no reason to leave other than $$$$.
