Enhance Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 He still herp derps his way through interviews but I don't care. I'm excited to see what he does this year. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thought that last bit was interesting. He hinted that he wasn't at the same speed as he was his freshman year. Here's me http://btn.com/2012/04/03/tonight-michigan-film-session/ 1 Quote Link to comment

husker B-rent Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 ive seen much worse interviews before. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I would have to agree, in regards to mechanics, Martinez did look better his freshman year (pre-injury) than he did last year. Maybe he was still not quite 100% and him compensating for his ankle or toe "threw" him off a little. Not a polished interview, but I could care less. Just win! Having a completely 100% Reed and Martinez should definitely improve the O for sure. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 His interviews are always so ridiculously short, but I think he's afraid to divulge any information to the media. Have to say though, with previous lashing attacks from writers like Dirk Chatelain, I can't say I blame him for being a little hesitant. 1 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I think his personality is simply at odds with what the media wants, therefore, he's a bit of a derp. They're always looking for emotion to try and add character to the piece. Martinez delivers the boring info. the reporter will usually voice-over some b-roll lol. He can be a deaf mute for all I care. He'll ultimately be judged on whether he wins or loses. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 When I'm getting surgery, I don't want a doctor that has a great bedside manner. I want a nerd who knows what he's doing. When I'm looking for a QB, the last thing I care about is whether he's good in front of a mic. Can he run, can he pass, can he lead the team? That's all I care about. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Watching that video, even with my untrained eye, just the few clips they showed of Taylor in practice, it definitely looks like he's made HUGE improvements in his footwork and throwing motion. Still not perfect or necessarily that natural looking, but if that is what his throwing motion will look like the rest of his career, he is MILES ahead of where he was last year from a fundamental standpoint. My only question is.......... When does football season start back up again?... Quote Link to comment
miamihrrcns2001 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The interview was actually excellent. Short, but he provided insight into his game... something he's rarely done before. His footwork looks better, but his shoulder alignment still bother me, it looks like a bit of a shot-put. In all though... what did they put in Taylor's water bottle this Spring..?

Well right, but being able to string together a couple of coherent sentences isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Quote Link to comment
