You think Marlon Lucky is really the linchpin to our offensive success?<BR/><BR/>He's had games where he's looked very good, but in general Lucky is a guy who I find goes down too easy and isn't nearly elusive or physical enough. Yes, he has great hands and that adds another dimension, but I think some of the younger guys showed as much or more desire as he did in '07 - heck really throughout his time here.<BR/><BR/>Experience at that position is great to have, but at the same time what you really need is someone with desire, heart, elusiveness and speed. I think we've seen more of that out of some of the younger guys like Helu and Castille. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm wrong, but if Lucky goes (he really shouldn't IMHO) I think we'll be just fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-79872077867788620522008-01-11T09:03:00.000-06:002008-01-11T09:03:00.000-06:00NufaninTXMike your anylasis is spot on as usuall. ...NufaninTX<BR/>Mike your anylasis is spot on as usuall. If the players do not believe in the system iregardless of how good the plan is it will probably not work. Beside "D" is all about "Violence of Action" and getting their "firt with the most". When teams play your "D" they need to leave the field thinking that was the worst physical beat down we have ever experienced. I believe in the past before Calaclown and Cosgrove teams left the game and felt it for the next couple of weeks. For me watchng on TV I can not ever rememeber a hit that made sit up off the couch and say "danmm he brought the lumber on that hit." Most of the time on 07 it was "make a tackle or at least hold on till someone else shows up". I trully believe that Pelini will bring back the desire and willingness to punish oppsosing offenses.

(How can it be any worse?) I think the big question is how will our offense compare to last year? <BR/><BR/>Retaining Watson gives me hope that the "schemes" will be there, but I worry about lack of depth at WR and OL. And if Lucky goes to the NFL... well, let's not think about that for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
