Guy Chamberlin Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If you were to collect the criticisms of Watson, Beck and Langsdorf on HuskerBoard, they would be virtually indistinguishable. Also interesting how many of the criticisms could be applied to Scott Frost's offense at Oregon, but aren't. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment
