Not a lot of new blood starting on defense...I sure hope the improved strength, motivation and coaching up show right away.

Just got Breon Dixon clarification, makes sense...
“You were watching a former safety at OLB against our wide spread offense, of course he would look better than some of those other guys.”
Him being out there was basically like us having an extra nickel back (not saying that’s what they were doing). I did watch him absolutely obliterate our Hback tho, so I think he can be tough against the run. Just may not be as good of an every down guy as I saw when he was against 3 WR sets in practice.

Just noticed that the chart says RB instead of I-Back. Even though the I formation is long gone as a Nebraska staple, the charts up to now have always stuck with "I-Back" (see https://www.huskermax.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/2017-Nebraska-Depth-Chart-vs-Iowa.pdf).

Really like that we have two brand new guys in Williams and Neal listed at #1 safeties. Getting us lined up right is so important and our safeties were bad last year. Also love Antonio Reed getting his shot.
Thanks ***, sounds like we'll definitely see him on the field a good bit this year depending on the opponent.
I bet we see Dixon on all special teams units
Why is Deshon Neal listed as being from Houston, Tx instead of Omaha Central?
Don’t want him to leave...but.....we have 2 QB commits in the 2 upcoming years that are a tad better fit for the offense NU is running....not that Gebbia can’t also run it.
Even if he was a perfect fit it's going to be extremely difficult to keep to Quality quarterbacks in the same class on the roster at the same time. Understandably, kids want to play. These guys get it for five your window and their entire lives to play college football... If they feel like they're capable of actually playing I don't blame them one bit for seeking other opportunities if the one in front of them appears to be pretty well locked in. Quarterback is different than most positions obviously only one guy is going to play meaningful snaps barring injury. Almost all other positions there's at least some rotation.
Check that *** response, you may be right - best against spread teams, 4 wides, etc. But he's a physical player - seems to be a decision forced by riches at that position.
Will be interesting to see Mike Williams play. I binged watch the entire two seasons of Last Chance U in East Mississippi and those receivers were amazing.

I think athletically there is no doubt. But is he going to be like Rickey Thenarse, Eric Martin, or Marcus Newbt that I absolutely loved watching in practice and had an explosiveness no one could match and then not play much? Only a freshman so plenty of time. Hoping a year learning the defense and in our strength program he is another Tannor for us.
