zoogs Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 The mystery around this is a bit odd. I guess the question to ask, just to get things straight: he WAS actually injured and unable to play today, right? And it wasn't some bizarre coaching decision to go with and ride Green. I got really tired of hearing the TV guys say "Taylor Martinez is out today with an injury, and Zac Lee, the backup last week, has a sore arm, so it's Green." Come on. Quote Link to comment
Ericinho Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Lee's been wearing that sleeve on his arm/elbow all season BTW. Quote Link to comment
GHOST Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 i have heard that LEE hit his throwing hand on a helmet in practice and it swelled up pretty good. Xrays were negative and he and T Magic are expected to be ready to go next week. edit Nexus article beat me to it Yeah iam sure they will be ready to go. After winning a game that was fixxed. we aint beatting kansas . Bo is gonna losse another game or I should say give some one a game. But yea zac must have really hurt his arm in practice this week becuzz I dont remember him throwing the ball alott last week Quote Link to comment
GHOST Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Bo said during the post game conference that Lee was "Day to Day." If he is out, they are not talking. Supposedly it is just a soar arm? yeah and Bo said last week T-Mart was fine, i have lost faith in what Pelini sez....... Makes 2 of us. he really let me down thats for sure. Quote Link to comment
Husker Richard Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Lee's been wearing that sleeve on his arm/elbow all season BTW. This. The sleeve has nothing to do with this 'injury'. He always wears it. While I want to believe that we held out Taylor to rest him for the stretch run and not because his injury is that bad, I have my doubts. This game was obviously not a cake-walk. At the time, we did not know that Mizzou would lose to Texas Tech, giving us a cushion in the North. We absolutely had to win this ISU game (it was essentially for the Big 12 North) and it didn't seem like our staff coached with that attitude. Quote Link to comment

Its like we just lacked fire and intensity. I felt like we coached and played down to their level. Seems to be the norm with this group we have. I honestly thought we would see Taylor in the 2nd half to try and put the game away, but it didnt happen. Quote Link to comment
NshawU Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 IF Martinez has an ankle sprain, he should be pretty close to ready next week but for sure ready for aTm. Sometimes an ankle sprain can be worse than an actual break, but if that was the case here TM would not be able to walk without crutches or some type of boot. The way you heal an ankle sprain is by using it a lot through therapy to rebuild and restrengthen the ankle. I think two weeks should be enough for that, but three weeks will definitely be enough assuming it is an ankle sprain. The only thing I'm worried about is after you sprain an ankle once, that ankle naturally becomes slightly weaker and more vulnerable to future sprains or breaks. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Lee hit his hand on a helmet in practice this past week and it swelled up pretty good. X-ray's were negative and they think he'll be ready by next week if needed. Read the quote from the article several posts up. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Omaha paper says same thing that some are posting. Lee hurt hand in practice and is "day to day" and could have played in "non-throwing" situations. Taylor was not 100% but was ready in "emergency" (Green hurt) to play. Bo and Watson both quoted in paper as saying both QBs should be ready to go next week. IMO, I still sit Taylor unless he is completely 100%. We can beat KU with Grenn and Lee. He is way to valuable to risk possible further injury. I don't believe we can go to College Station and win without T-Mart. I would use him in "emergency" situations against KU... Let him study up on AM this week. Quote Link to comment
