Weber and Newby were impressive

[otismotis08]

Both had strong outings.

 

[HudsonValleyHusker]

Totally agree. Weber was really impressive in shooting gaps and making an impact on the run defense and Newby looks like one helluva beast in pass defense.

Both had strong outings.

Chris Weber is a smart, tough ball player that plays with all heart -- one of the few bright spots.

 

[otismotis08]

Keeping it positive where I can...

Is Weber our new Trevor Roach? At least we are seeing what he can do earlier in his career than Trevor. Even if it is because of injuries...

Webber and Gangwish remind me of old type NU blackshirts, smart and no-nonsense

 

[ExxHusker]

Newby seems to have knacks for pass defense and blitzing.

The LB coach has done more with less (including experience) than any coach I can remember. "Next man up" seems to be really in play with that group.

Pass defense is his weakness so he was even more impressive given that fact.

 

[ExxHusker]

I wish our DB's were weak like him yesterday. But they needed more pass rush help on the longer routes so not fair comparison.

They did their part, but what about All B1G safety Nate Gerry? You have to pick those off son. A spark like that could give this secondary a much needed boost in confidence. Like the announcer said at the end of the game, the team needs concrete evidence that what they are being taught works.

Makes you wonder if Mr. Banderas will get his job back when he returns from injury.

Newby seems to have knacks for pass defense and blitzing.

That's a good way to put it, best pass defense LB I can remember.
