Farniok going to the NFL

What's funny about that?

I'd rather watch paint dry, watch tumble weeds tumble, the WNBA, QVC, Televangelists televangel, here Beth Mowins call a Huskers game, have a long chat with WH, have a beer with blister, I mean I could go on and on, but wrestling is about as fun to watch as watching paint dry. So that's what's funny about that. Hope this helps. :thumbsup:

Uh ok. You asked what men's sport was doing well, a guy replied wrestling, which is a men's sport at UNL. Just because I'm not much of a basketball fan doesn't mean I don't pull for our Huskers to win and support them. I get wrestling isn't the most exhilarating thing to watch especially at the collegiate level if you've never wrestled. It's not a sport for most people as they don't have the right combination of athleticism and mental toughness to compete in it that isn't required in most other sports outside of MMA.
 




I forgot about this thread until it just popped up in a search for something else, but I thought it was worth continuing the discussion for those who were already here....

I was pleased but surprised that Farniok was drafted. I thought that he'd likely make a team as a UFA because he has played every OL position, and he's big and strong. I'm curious how things play out for him. He's a good guy who did everything that was asked of him, but his skill set wasn't really a good match for what Frost and Austin wanted their OL to be able to do. The irony is that I think that his having to adjust to an offense that didn't fit his skill set may have made him a more attractive prospect at the next level.

Thoughts?

You and I have had this discussion off the main board and I agree 100%

I hadn’t thought about it that way, but it makes some sense. While maybe he didn’t have a chance to flourish in a system that best fit him, he did get an opportunity to demonstrate his adaptability and versatility.

Best of luck to him!

That's a good point that I hadn't really thought about yet.

When you hash out the roster limits in the NFL (53 total on the active roster, I believe 45 that can be active on gameday), there's a serious squeeze where most teams don't even have a full 2-deep on the OL available Sundays.

Often you have your starting 5, and 3-4 total backups. Guys who can competently fill in at multiple spots are imperative in those backup roles - having good experience at all 3 positions (and demonstrating adaptability to different systems/techniques) is a huge selling point to a GM who's continually doing advanced calculus about how to utilize those precious roster spots.

Combine that with the NFL's love of a good project (who has good measurables, but wasn't yet utilized to their strengths/potential), and Farniok is a lot more desirable than a casual look might lead you to believe.
