Martinez is going back to work with Calhoun some more in May. They're serious about fixing his mechanics.

Calhoun expects more growth in the technical department. He and Martinez will work again in May.

"You want the changes to be muscle memory for him," Calhoun said.

He's tired of hearing how bad his mechanics are every game that is televised. It was a major topic every game so maybe he finally decided it was time to change that motion. Hopefully it helps him.

 
I don't know how the '12 season will turn out but I am very impressed at the steps Taylor is taking to become a more complete player. And actually Taylor's growth and leadership started last fall when I saw him on the sidelines, after the Huskers were up comfortably, standing on the sidelines helping to relay in signals when he could have been sitting down on the bench, laughing and goofing off with teammates. Great job Taylor!

 
Why isn't Taylor handling the football in the picture......what's with that.....no trust in holding onto the ball for the picture.........

Just kidding.

I'm thrilled that he continues to work on his form/skills and wants to be the best he can be!!

 
Taylor DOESN"T have a football in this pic so obviously he hasn't changed anything!!!!! :sarcasm

Seriously though, Taylor went to work on his technique at the beginning of last summer as well, and the fanfare wasn't quite this positive back then.

 
I think that was just a cynical reaction last season. But now most reasonable people are seeing that his effort and dedication to getting better are real and responding accordingly.

 
I always thought Price was taller/bigger than that... And is it me or is Taylor starting to fill out his frame? I know he put on some muscle last year, but he looks like he's added a little more this off season as well.

 
Great segment on the BTN. Taylor looks like he's done a great job improving his footwork, based on the film they showed, and Tim Beck is doing a great job teaching. Awesome to see!

 
It'll be interesting to see how Taylor reacts this upcoming season when the chips are down and the momentum is going against him and the Huskers. The biggest thing I want to see is that Taylor keeps doing the correct footwork and mechanics all the time. I do not want to see him revert back to those bad habits.

Looks like we're in for a long season, guys.... Taylor, you seriously call that good technique?? My goodness that's horrendous! And don't give me that B.S. about him being about to catch a ball because you know that isn't true; he very obviously just launched one downfield, surely 10 yards out of reach of the nearest target.

We really want to rehash that conversation?

I'm sorry but I can't ignore this photo - seriously, what is this guy teaching these quarterbacks? Someone needs to tell Teeth Price to get away...that is NOT how you hold a football!
