Relentless

This little snippet of an interview is why I am ACHING for next season to start. If this Ron Brown interview from Huskers.com is any indication, we're going to be knocking guys on their ass like we did back in the day. Also, I highly recommend looking at the entire article, because Brown has a great perspective not just on Husker football, but on life. Being in the ministry full-time for the past few year has given him a great outlook on what is really important in life.

Huskers.com: What will be the philosophy of this staff?

Ron Brown:
Relentless. There will be a relentless pursuit to the football on defense. There will be a relentless physicality on offense, where players will not only block, but every player will block. When Tom was coaching, even quarterbacks blocked on the backside of a toss sweep. Nobody runs out of bounds. You don’t just run out of bounds unless you’re in a two-minute drill. You take on ball carriers, and you fight for extra yardage. And you don’t take punishment – you give punishment. Everybody blocks downfield. Wide receivers block like crazy on the perimeter. Linemen get up off their block at the line of scrimmage, and they go downfield and block.
