Ronznotes Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 So this is what Rex does when not on the field... he's a side judge. 1 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Um, what? I do see that the spotlight feature on the shoes worked in that pic Quote Link to comment
Branno Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm pretty sure Martinez was wearing white shoes the whole game, I think he opted to not wear the new shoes. Quote Link to comment
HuskerT Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Funny, that does look like Rex. I can understand T-Mart feeling more comfortable with the white cleats, but would it of killed him to wrap em with black tape? Or did he really just want to stand out that much? Quote Link to comment

okaive Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 He had the shoes on the whole game. My dad pointed it out the very first play. I had to reask him what he said because that was the last thing I was looking at or cared about. Quote Link to comment

Nobody Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 That ref looks nothing like rex. Quote Link to comment

I think Taylor might be superstitious. I was reading an article where they were talking to the equipment staff and they mentioned that last year he specifically asked to wear the 2010 pants and not the newer version. Or he could just be that picky... Quote Link to comment

Or he could just be that picky... Taylor's a strange cat. We as fans dont even know him personally, but it's pretty easy to come up with that conclusion, by watching him interact with the media, on the sidelines and even the way he plays. He's just a different kind of person. But I'm glad he's here, always have been. That's what makes Tunnelwalkofshame to funny with Taylor, is I dont even think it's that much of a parody involving him. Quote Link to comment
deedsker Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Bell wears a blue undershirt and we all love him for it because we know where it comes from. Saw the white shoes and didn't care one bit. Maybe it is harder for refs to tell if he stepped out then? Quote Link to comment

When someone's not asking him question with a camera in his face (a la when he's on the field during a game) he seems like a pretty good leader and fun guy to be around. But he's just so awkward at times it makes me cringe, probably because it reminds me of myself when I was 18. But he's definitely grown up a lot since he's been here. Quote Link to comment
dergibog Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I had a different idea on the white shoes. Since he signals snaps from the shotgun with a raised foot or an arm wave, maybe they kept the white shoes for contrast so the center could easily see the leg raise for the snap. That's my "white shoes" strategy moment for the day. Thanks for listening. Quote Link to comment
BigBL87 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Like dergibog mentioned, I was thinking maybe it was actually strategic as far as snap count/signaling. Makes sense, as the white would really stand out for the center looking back. Quote Link to comment
Conga3 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Shoes are pretty important to an athlete. If my team didn't care, I'd opt for the best shoes available to me and not the color/style some athletic company is trying to advertise on my feet. From the comments of Taylor's teammates, they've fully got his back and if he wants to wear his white shoes while everyone else wear some new fangled black/flashy shoes... they would be cool with it. Not sure if you guys remember, but Taylor had double turf toe at one point. New shoes that aren't broken in or don't fit just right can mess you up... and we don't need that. Quote Link to comment
