Again, allowing an opponent to bend but not break... letting them hang around is dangerous

We need to learn to throat punch a fool

 

[Decked]

We are talented enough but we can never just make the easy plays. Never. Everything is always hard. Always a positive followed by a negative 

 

[Stumpy1]

He is putting to much air under his passes. 

 

[Archy1221]

And why is Leiwer our best option on the field 

 

[C-4]

It’s 3rd and 4: you choose the moose  TE running a flat on the LOS. Oof. Gotta use Allen correctly.

 

[I AM FOOT FOOT]

Points on the board,  keep shutting down their offense and we are going to be fine

Yep. Illinois starting QB probably comes back with the Illini only down a possession and giving them a chance to win it

 

[VectorVictor]

Cannot overthrow wide open receivers. 

Well, you can’t do that and win, at any rate.

Martinez going to get his WRs and TEs hurt with his pass.

Everyone has to have a style

 

[DefenderAO]

I don't care about 70%% completion.  Hit that TD throw!

 

[Decked]

I thought Leiwer could have caught that. Wasn’t perfect, but he was flat footed. 

I don’t believe he is athletic as they say he is. He is slow too.

So Martinez’s style is “gettin’ laundry done”?

10000000000000%  Nothing is easy.  Every pass, run, catch, tackle is a struggle.....Can't even make a WIDE open throw easy.....

 

[BoNeyard]

That’s the thing. On paper his stats are decent to good, but they are empty stats. They don’t end in touchdowns.

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Surprised our QB guru with a Ph.D in arm mechanics hasn't taught AM how to throw on a rope yet
