I’ll stop because I like the premise of the thread. Probably shouldn’t go down that road. That’s my bad. We’ll know soon enough if he gets an offer.Your still not keeping your word:
Your forcing my hand unless you can give me a reason why you are not keeping your word?

The only issue with it is it's a non-football play that would get flagged twice. If the kid is good enough for an offer, great. But wanting an offer to the kid based on that highlight is ridiculous. If that would have happened in a setting where kids weren't trying to impress the coaches, a fight would have happened, as it did in practice many times for lesser things than that. I have more of an issue with the original person who posted it on twitter thinking it's something to praise. Which brings me back to my whole argument that we have a ton of media guys telling us what's going on with our program that don't really know anything.I may get jumped on for this...I've watched the clip a few times and didn't really see a big issue. Yes he threw him down, yeah his hand was on his throat...after reviewing it I think the way they were playing, his hand just ended up there kinda like a non personal foul facemask. Definitely not a "choke" hold, the drill didn't last long enough for that. He's there trying to show that he physical, the other kid didn't do anything because he knew he was in a battle...or drill.![]()
I have no issue with anything you say here. The guy who posted it originally was def looking for clicks.The only issue with it is it's a non-football play that would get flagged twice.

Bottom line is what that kid did at the camp is not cool and anyone defending it as such I feel sad for.
Not defending the play, but defending Ferguson possibly a future Husker from multiple threats from fans and former players. Big difference. Feel sad for me all you want. GBR
I see a lot are judging based on the video without context - and that's a no no from what I understand when I see a black kid getting gunned down by police when he has his hands in the air and am critical. For all you know, the kid he manhandles was talking smack or took a cheap shot earlier in the camp. Or this kid really is an buttwipe. I really don't know, but neither do most of you. I didn't like it, but don't know the circumstances, so not going to get to excited.
