n.e.husker Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Taylor was very secure with the ball and ready to slide or step our of bou8nds when necessary. I know some of his throws are questionable but no pics were thrown. Great game as a whole offensivly but this really stood out to me. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I was most impressed with his continued ability to cover both hands with the ball as soon as he realizes contact is coming. He's also absorbing hits now, or running out of bounds, rather than fighting the hit. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 And sliding...he slid I think twice or maybe three times yesterday in the second half. Quote Link to comment

He's also absorbing hits now, or running out of bounds, rather than fighting the hit. Agreed. A lot of people were complaining about him bracing for contact instead of trying to fight for extra yards. Um hello? He's the QB. We have a stable of RBs (with little to no drop-off after Rex) to take on contact and fight for yards. We only have one Taylor. He goes down and we're done for. Quote Link to comment
Nate Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 It was a nice change of pace thats for sure. I still think it took waaaaaay too long for him to learn to do these things. Quote Link to comment

I think most people realize that if you sit there and brace for contact you're probably going to get hurt more often than putting your shoulder down(you know, that place where you actually have padding)... That's probably the point they were trying to make. Quote Link to comment

It's nice many Husker fans are coming around on TMart. I still think those fans are waaaaaay too impatient though. 1 Quote Link to comment

That's probably the point they were trying to make. Have you ever heard of the acromioclavicular joint? You know, that joint in your shoulder that Sam Bradford and countless others have sprained (aka separated shoulder) while wearing pads. Taylor is arguably the most important player on this team at the moment. Do you really want him lowering his shoulder and risking injury? Just get your yards and get down. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I just want Taylor to look off a DB or hit his second/third progression on a pass play. I don't care if he slides, lowers a shoulder, ducks and covers. Just once I want a look off and this season will be a success. That is all. But still give the golf clap for NU not putting the ball on the turf. Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The only questionable throw i saw Taylor make was the the force throw into the endzone that was almost picked off (hit the ground). Quote Link to comment
mnhusker Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I liked the way he played, he seemed like a different player and we acting like a QB more than a running back. It was like night and day, in terms of his decison making when it comes to getting hit. Quote Link to comment
