Peterson

 

[DiHard]

petersons influence has been seen the past two weeks....

trust me....jt's eyes opened after iowa....

jt is stubborn, but not stupid....look at the new focus on offense since iowa.....in no particular order....

rehring, barton, smith, pittman, johnson (huge), lyons and ginn.......thats seven players on offense that hadnt played "much" before iowa....

jt also brought in an nfl coach for guidance and turned a great deal of the o-line over to peterson.....

Di,

Is this your thoughts, or do you know this for fact?

zip....

-someone i would bet my life on mentioned the change in offensive line philosophy after the iowa game.....and how effective it was.....ie peterson

-look at the change in personnel since the iowa game....do you think johnson is playing fb b/c joe is hurt....do you think pittman suddenly stepped up...do you think rehring and barton suddenly stepped it up....'

-and...do you think jt and bollman suddenly decided sims is a guard..???

i believe that the coaches finally looked at a different opinion......peterson....

Well back to the threads original topic. Steve Rhearing is one hell of a kid as well as player. I watched his recruitment close last year. He was the least heralded and skinner was very underrated as well. Hopefully we have found ourselves another all-american. I hope this kid continues to progress. Good luck steve!!!!!

 

[buckzip]

Thanks Di, just wondering if it was a feeling, or you really knew something.

 

[ScarletArrow]

I want Bollman Fired because I believe that his coaching is maybe too focused on technique and not enough on kicking ass.

Amen brother!

Great post! I have seen that too and I hope it means Bollman takes a back seat to the Offensive line forever, and that Peterson is there to stay!! They just seem more aggressive these past two weeks.

Got another question Dihard ... Do you think that there needs to be a shake up at the Strength and Conditioning department? I am by no means an expert but it just seems that since the last S&C coach left (forget his name and its on the tip of my tongue damnit) that the Offensive line has not been blowing people off the line of scrimmage. The S&C coaches also have almost all year to be in contact with the Players as opposed to the restrictions on the other coaches, thus they can have alot of influence too. Just a thought...

P.s. Brutus2002, I too think Rehring is doing great and I cannot wait to see Mitchum, Person, Skinner, and then in this '05 class; Boone, Bemoll, Cordle, and possibly Taz or Doering at the line when Peterson takes over full reigns of the Offensive line.

I was told to come check this site out, so here i am, most of you should know me from Buckuts.

JCOSU86 edit: For all of you, Underdogg is Steve Rehring's brother. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Nice to see you here UD. Is your bro excited about contributing early in his career? I am glad one of the freshman lineman has shown up with some attitude.

 

[Underdogg44]

yeah he loves it, he knew in his head how good he was, he didnt listen to what the "experts" said and he works his a** off everyday, and it seems to have gotten him places. I dont see him peaking until his senior year, he has to much drive to stop improving.

Unfortunately I think alot of us listened to the "experts", but I am sure it feels good to prove em wrong.

Oh I knew there was something I wanted to ask. Has Peterson been involved in coaching him at all? Or is still strictly Bollman?

 

[Underdogg44]

I said this on BN, he was a 7 star recruit his JR year by emfinger recruiting, and that idiot from ESPN thought highly of him also, he had a good Army combine as a JR and then his senior year his team went 1-9, and he committed before his SR season even started, next thing you know the guy from ESPN didnt call, it made it look like he was just after Steve to get him to commit on his football game where he was going. I really dont listen to these experts much about any recruit, I personaly watch their video and deceid for myself.

udogg tell steve and the rest of the oline guys that they're doing a good job of focusing less on "technique" and just on kicking some ass. IMO the number one thing that all great o-linemen and o-lines in general have is that "i'm going to kick your ass and then come back and do it again" attitude. We need that nasty mean streak from the guys, not just a mental approach that focuses on technique and those types of things.
