Martinez QB Camp Update

[da skers]

I am really happy to see Taylor taking solid initiative to make himself a better player. He not only wants himself to be successful, but in the doing, help the team get more W's.

Yep. Even if he can't be a 'rah-rah' type of guy, I think this season it will be more of a reflection of receivers/O-line than Taylor's mechanics. I really think NU needs the offense to be dominant this year, and hope they can get it done.

I can actually see both facets of the offense improving...I especially see the WR's playing a more productive role and performing better. We'll see.

I hope so. I don't care so much about his mechanics as I do him getting the ball to receivers that can catch. Hope it's a good year.

I'll be very surprised and greatly disappointed if our offense doesn't take a big step forward. I know stats wise on paper we looked a little worse last year but I always felt like we could move the ball (except maybe 2 games) and get back into the game quickly. I know we killed ourselves at times but many times we started to click. I never felt that way under Watson. I always felt if the defense figure out our game plan and stopped us we were just beating our head against a wall. With Becks set up I feel like he can adjust and if we aren't moving the ball its due to bone head mistakes.

The guy second from the right seems to have a man crush, and the guy on the far left is probably stoned.

And the guy just to his right with his hat on backwards epitomizes my feelings on 'T-Magic'...lol

maybe it's just the angle, but doesn't TM look like he is throwing off that back foot, STILL?

There is no smiley for what I want to say to you right now.

It's being said that Taylor Martinez is said to be regressing, if that's possible,

That made me chuckle. I wonder who exactly said that?

I hope he will be regressing back to his old speed in 2012.

:yeah :

I think you'll be a lot happier with his speed this year.

It looks like you have absolutely no idea one way or the other. Here are a few pictures from well-established quarterbacks that look similar, or could easily be misinterpreted to look "bad" if you couldn't see their feet and were only looking at the torso:

We highly relied on the big play with Watson....this offense pounds and pounds you more. It wears defenses down which I love and it is still open for the big play every once in a while. I saw amazing drives against some solid defenses, ie Penn St., Ohio St, Michigan St. and even South Carolina for a portion of the game. I really thought NEB had the bowl game against USC in their hands by half, it was theirs for the taking....the way the NEB offense was running all over 5th ranked defense in the nation in the first half was aaaawesome. I like our chances this year to do some pretty good things, like possibly win 10 to 11 games in the regular season. We have a lot returning on offense and Pelini is taking over the defense, my shades are RED and I am drinking a bit of the Koolaid....just sippin. ; P

Does this look abnormal to anyone else?

It does. That is clearly holding.

Definitely holding on Mr. Clabo.

Solid examples there, Landlord. +1

We make fun of Martinez's left hand action but all of those QB's hands look hilarious when you see a still photograph

 

[GSG]

I've noticed in pictures of me throwing a football that I'm usually giving the defense the middle finger with my non-throwing hand.

LordofMemorial,

Nicely done sir! +1

I dont care what he looks like when he throws. I want better decisions and accuracy.

The man crush guy looks like Andy Roddick.

If only T-Mart had a normal Nebraska throwing motion. Like this one--the Shot putt/Karate chop hybrid motion. An accepted standard for Husker QBs.
