Guy Chamberlin Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I think the designed QB draws are handy, and I'm digging the two or three vintage option plays, but the key is having Adrian Martinez get 8 yards on a 3rd and 7 by running for the sticks if his receivers aren't open and stepping out of bounds untouched. That keeps the team moving down the field, and helps get the receivers open. 1 Quote Link to comment

Agree to disagree on this one. At least the xanax can be prescribed by an actual licensed medical professional. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Nonetheless, you may have a point on the dangers of self-medicating. Binge watching a program like Dr. Phil could lead to all sorts of anxiety issues. Always consult a licensed practitioner first. 1 Quote Link to comment

CAHusker Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 My apologies if this has been stated on this thread earlier, but there is no way I am reading through this to check. I am so excited to see Adrian scan the field, last year it was brutal watching him look, mostly at Wandale, then either half a$$ taking off and running, or throwing to the one guy he was staring down for the last 2-4 seconds. I re-watched the OU game, and saw multiple times where he scanned two, sometimes three levels before making the throw. Now if the offensive line can pull their head out of there asses.--- 1 Quote Link to comment

I think it could be multiple reasons. 1. Adrian really looked mechanical all last year and for some of this years Illinois game, the last three games he looks much more relaxed. Maybe he just finally learned to get out of his own way. 2. More talent at the receiver and TE positions this year. Way, way more talent. Just think, if things would have worked out differently, we could of still had Washington and Robinson on this team. 3. Development, this one is tough to gauge because he has been here for four years now. I am sure he is still learning, but eventually he has to take ownership and get out there and make it rain, which he did this last game. I am sure there are more, but I am driving and typing on the 15 in So Cal, so if I keep this up there is a good chance I may die. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment

If Robinson was still here, it is unlikely we would have pursued Toure. At worst the trade off has been a wash imo. Drive careful. 1 Quote Link to comment

The first game I thought he was good, but I wasn't blown away by his speed, but I was totally wrong about that. I had no idea he is 6.3, he has a smooth long stride running style, and is obviously fast. I know this is going to sound crazy, but I don't know if I would trade our receivers for any other team in the big ten pertaining to potential. FYI - I am stopped on the freeway, traffic is wonderful and makes me super happy! 1 Quote Link to comment

I'll add an another reason: AM is not worried about receiving unguided missiles from his center. He can focus more on pre-snap reads. 4 Quote Link to comment

Now if they could just open up a few more holes for the running backs… 1 Quote Link to comment
