Adrian Martinez

For the option to work, there has to be another option besides the QB. :cowbell:

Haha.  Truth.  It's like JLo right, JLo left under Solich (Still one of my fave Huskers in Lord).  

Not drinking the kool-aid yet, but this staff has got to know this is a make or break year. Not in guys being fired, but turning the corner.  I like that Frost is involved with AM more.  I like the talk of the run game.  I like the D.  Just unsure what we look like on O with tons of potential, but nothing really proven.  An no real back up for AM. I am not counting on him staying healthy all season.

Out of curiosity, whose job would it be to say to Frost/Duval that AM looks too slow/slower. Not moving like AM 1.0..

Probably nobody. I think that is just part of Frost/Duval's job to make sure that they don't put themselves in a position that somebody would feel like saying that.

Most likely. I would be happy to see him slide/get down or just get out of bounds to limit the hits he takes.

Agreed. And as much as a Husker fan loves to see a QB diving/stretching for extra yards with contact, he just can't fumble the ball like he did in that Rutgers game.

Way better to just go down and live to see another down or another possession instead of coughing up a turnover.

I'm in the camp that believes Martinez doesn't have nearly as many weaknesses as a lot of fans think he does heading into year 4 - except for the fumbles. Just turn that around and he's a good QB.

I agree.  Especially if they can improve the talent around him.  If we can have a good RB and WRs who run good (correct) routes and catch the ball, this would eliminate some of the QB runs and he would hopefully be able to stay healthier throughout the year.

Don't forget a line that will give the WR time to run those routes & the QB time to throw.  Also a center that get the ball to the QB

Not sure I agree with that.  It was the Husker way.  I see QBs and receivers trying to avoid big hits by going down or running out of bounds quite often since Frost got here.

I would have to strongly disagree about QBs. Martinez almost never avoids contact and 90% of the time dives head first for yardage. 

WRs is a different story. Pretty often I wish they would fight for extra yards on the sidelines. But they take a beating over the middle.

This is a pretty common thing in all of football.  It's a risk reward thing.  Do you take another hit on your body just for a couple more yards?  My bigger issue is sometimes it seems like if they cut back inside they could possibly avoid that defender and pick up more yards and still not take a big hit.

Agree. Some guys like JD and Wan'Dale would cut it up, but SMJ was probably the last guy I really remember consistently fighting on the sidelines.
