Paul has seen even less time.Husker Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764508184267042143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-85086189247997035422007-11-20T18:57:00.000-06:002007-11-20T18:57:00.000-06:00I agree with you Mike on many of your points but I...I agree with you Mike on many of your points but I would point out that Petersen is a Junior now so he is coming back, Swifty is a Grade A Wide Receiver. Yes, Chris Brooks has been a huge disapointment to be sure, so we can't really count on him for production. But you mentioned Niles Paul... just in passing... this young man is going to be good. And I believe mr Holt is in the same mold as Purify ... a big boy with more speed than Purify. Let's not forget Mr. Gilleylen.... yes alas a greeny (freshmen) but lets see what he can do. My Freinds and I have been saying the same thing about Marlon all season.... would love to see him play a flanker type position. Very good in the open field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-23881632690013623612007-11-20T14:51:00.000-06:002007-11-20T14:51:00.000-06:00Are you so dumb you don't remember T.O. doing his ...Are you so dumb you don't remember T.O. doing his TV show in suits all the time?

But virtually every time he put Ross in space, say by throwing to him in the flat, it would break for an 80 yd. touchdown. Poor utilization of personnel is a Callahan trademark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-13067399965842957332007-11-19T21:52:00.000-06:002007-11-19T21:52:00.000-06:00Actually, I think I'm being more harsh on Bill Cal...Actually, I think I'm being more harsh on Bill Callahan than Marlon. I think there are better, more creative ways to use Marlon Lucky than as an I-back. He's not a traditional running back, yet we keep trying to use him as such.Husker Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764508184267042143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-87482956567432282952007-11-19T18:23:00.000-06:002007-11-19T18:23:00.000-06:00You make valid points, Mike, but I think you're be...You make valid points, Mike, but I think you're being a bit harsh on Marlon. He's been a guy who's been pretty far up on the "Trying to Bail our Asses Out" list.<BR/><BR/>After all, 950 yards rushing, 560 yards receiving and even 20 yards passing all with 12 TDs ain't chopped liver, though admittedly you'd think that last number would be a bit higher.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05179091525784640054noreply@blogger.com
