Being that Boltmann is young and is in the hunt, that might be a good sign. Otherwise I hold to the theory if you have 3 quarterbacks, you have none. Kind of the same thing when you have 3 goaltenders that aren’t separating themselves from each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with that generally, but not sure in this case. I think it is great that Boltmann is in the thick of things for the starting position as a freshman. I think that says more as to how good he is, not that the other guys aren't performing well. I think we finally have 3 QB's on the roster that can win games for us if 1 or 2 go down. It may be hard for the coaches to really see how good he'd be until he's in the game due to his scrambling mobility. I do hope that whomever gets the job takes it and runs with it though.......because having QB controversy all year does kind of suck.....like we had with Molberg and Bartels. If our #1 goes down this year, we will all cringe for a few minutes......but I think there will be confidence in the next guy in.....not like it has been the past two years where we thought the season was over if Studs got hurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cieslek look pretty good at the end of the year, he seemed to get a strong push. Hopefully he'll but just effective, hopefully more effective at the lighter weight......faster/leaner like you mentioned...but we'll see how that plays out.

A very physical CB.. we need these ! We need several 'real deals' in the secondary or we are toast this year. Our Corners have a shot at being pretty good with a healthy Harris, Holm, Blubaugh, Carter has played quite a bit, and it'd be a good thing if Nelson jumped all of them to solidify Corner. However, with the safety position, I don't see a scenario in which our peak performance will be anything more than average. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoHawks Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Last year made me wonder if Carter would be better off at Safety, but I've got no support for my opinion. Anyone else feel this way or want to prove why this isn't a good idea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys need to have a huge spring and summer and surprise us all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux94 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Any word on how Zach Zimmerman has looked.....he is at Safety position right? At least he has a little size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ND1 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 They are close to signing another corner or safety, not sure if it’s a juco or a FBS drop down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Tom Miller made it sound like Nelson has been practicing at safety. If Deion can come back to even close where he was, I'd be comfortable with that move assuming he can adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board is made up of people who typically post opinions for which they have no support. Including me! But it is a good question. IF the depth looks good (as I think it does now...just my opinion) then he could go there and CB is still covered well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
