Yeah, I thought it came out that those were largely predetermined though. Which I think explains why they didn't go in the direction of building the entire offense around it.

 

i dn't think martinez ever really figured out the "read" part of the zone-read. there were times where the read was 100% obvious and he'd make the wrong decision. i'm pretty confident he had his mind made up pre-snap.

 

If it were predetermined, he wouldn't be making the read. If he isn't making the read, what you are seeing was the wrong guess by the coaching staff calling the play.

 

The coaching staff gave him the option, I just think he made the read pre-snap, after the D was lined up - not as the play progressed.

 

This is not possible unless he was able to determine by how they were lining up what they were going to do after the snap.

Thought these were pretty good:

Apparently was a state champion triple jumper. As a sophomore.

WHAT?!?!?!?

That's terrible.

People keep speculating on this (for whatever reason) but it's simply not true.

If you go back and watch the film, it was definitely a read option.

Some position crossover in the nominations for the defensive backs.

Here are your choices:

Cornerback:

Voting open for Cornerbacks, Free Safety and Strong Safety

Safety:

1. Deep Coverage - These guys are the last line of defense for any long pass play. They should be able to sniff out the deep routes and keep the opposing QB from finding a wideout with an open field. This poster can add those last few deep thoughts to end a thread or find the inside information from a local city that no one else has heard.


2. Hard-Hitting, Old Schooler - Just like Larry "The Assassin" Asante, this guy hits you so hard that you think you're on the merry-go-round. His posts are right at the center of the issue and puts his opinion right to the wall. At the same time, he's so tough and dedicated that he can play (or type as the case may be) with a severed finger!


3. Interchangeable - Many CB's switch to Safety in the "later years" of their career – Eric Hagg comes to mind. They still play at a high level, and can still return the ball to the house. They have the skills of a Huskerboard CB - quickness and jumping ability, just maybe not the blinding speed of "younger bucks"... This poster is a Husker Football guru during the season and has plenty of info/insight to add through recruiting season, Spring Ball and on through summer conditioning.

Cornerback:

1. Quickness - The CB must cover the WR's downfield, and when they start flying, he has to be right there to mirror their moves, a real Josh Bullocks type of guy. To me, this poster seems to be the "second man" in a thread quite a bit. When someone quickly adds a thread, this guy is right on the new topic and adds his own thoughts.


2. Coverage - Since there are many routes a WR can take, the CB has to anticipate them and/or bait the QB into a false sense of security. When he knows the route, he can jump in and pick off the ball for his own gain! This poster is always ready for a funny "slant" on any subject, and if someone thinks his way is right, correction could be coming up behind you!


3. Jumper - Since most CB's are shorter than WR's, they have to possess a large vertical leap. When the WR is looking to make the catch over his head, the CB needs to be in good position to get his hand between the ball and the hands of the receiver to knock it down. This poster jumps from thread to thread constantly in order to keep himself involved, and can make the stop when a thread runs out of control.


4. Risk taker - This person ought to be one who is willing to let a WR go up against a safety if the opportunity to jump a route presents itself. This poster is willing to work with help from the other members of HuskerBoard, and takes a post hostage and in another direction when it's deemed necessary, but not all the time.


5. Confident-He will do what he feels right and is behind his decision all the way. He posts his opinions with pride, therefore giving you a perspective.


6. Awareness-He knows what actions to take when and where. He posts appropriately and knows where to post everything of course. He knows what hes talking about and the situation


7. Sure tackler - when you're out on the island all by yourself you need to make the play in the open field. This poster can refute another poster quickly and concisely and make a good argument doing it.
