Northwestern Practice (10/1/19) Defensive Coaches & Players





Hope the media buries questions regarding last Saturday's debacle. Hard for the team to move on and focus on the task at hand when the media won't allow it.
So on this subject, after watching the video above, I'm wondering how short the weekly recap video on Twitter will be this week, if they even put one out...:Unsure:
 




If the team can not block out the media and frankly the fans they are in big trouble

I do not think its issue
Agree it was one of Bo’s biggest faults...the Omaha media print and radio love to fan the flames ...they build incredible expections for an 4-8 team with a ton of new faces on offense then begin criticizing them for not living up to them.

This is 100% correct.
The armchair expert media and fans build up expectations and then somehow decide that the coaches are at fault when their personal expectations aren't fulfilled.
This team...most of these players...were a combined 8-16 over the past two seasons. To suddenly expect 10+ wins was not only irrational, it was delusional. Give these coaches time to recruit and establish a culture. Only then will we see a return to prominence.

Show me evidence that this team can block anything so far this season. And yes, they are in at least some trouble as a result. All eyes on coach Austin in the next two years. Soon he will be coaching all of "his guys" recruited for "this system." Nebraska's ability to develop O-line players from their Freshman season on has been very suspect. While Wisconsin coaches up 2 and 3 star recruits to All Conference levels we're still making excuses for Juniors completely whiffing and Ole'ing game after game.

Let's not blame the Omaha media for that. There were a lot of optimistic comments coming out from Frost and his coaching staff before the season started.
