They meet at the two a and he can slip to the 1. Getting to the goal line was harder. I disagree. Quote Link to comment

Not used to attack him as a person it's used to describe how it plays in certain situations. I think he's a good kid and a great QB, but I'm very concerned about this. If it's not addressed we are going continue to lose close games which I'm tired of doing we all are. I for one do not want to lose to Iowa in the same matter we just lost to Michigan and I know there are plenty of people hear that are tired of Iowa fans. Unfortunately that's the path we seem to be heading down I'd like to avoid it. See I see it the other way Martinez gave us the lead 3 times and I think the defense choked. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Lamar Jackson has lost more fumbles at the one yard line than anyone in the NFL. Obviously he's just not a winner and is killing his team. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Really I think the defense was gases. 0 pts in the first offense needed to do more to keep them off the field top is important. Interesting prospective though a great defense can do better than 32 pts vs Michigan 1 Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Baltimore came back to win. Maybe he just needed to drop a deuce. 3 Quote Link to comment

Nebraska55fan Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 AM has pretty good vision on most plays. On the fumble- he didnt 3 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I believe this is directly related to two things. 1). 2AM is healthy 2) 2AM has better talent around him....especially at the WR position. 1 Quote Link to comment

There is an unblocked man right in the area he chose to run to. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I don't think Vokolek's block on 12 would be as easy as it looks either - he kinda trips on Corcoran right after this screenshot. I imagine knowing it was only a yard, Martinez made a smart call to just get the yardage. But you've gotta hang onto the ball. One small thing that could've made a big difference in this game honestly is our lineman pushing piles. The play before this, looks like Rahmir has a crease to the first down but gets stonewalled - Jurgens and Sichterman are there but really don't look like they're pushing. Maybe it's all they can do to hold their ground, but some push there would be nice. And then on the fumble, Sichterman, Jurgen, and Benhart are all close enough to push the pile and don't. It's a lot harder to rip the ball away from a guy being pushed forward. Again, Adrian has to hold onto it - but we could've made it easier, or not even put ourselves in a 3rd and 1 where we needed a QB run. Quote Link to comment

I was screaming/pleading, just run a QB sneak at the TV before this play. Then they came out in shotgun, and I thought... awe crap. Then he got the first and I thought, whew at least it worked out. Then he was stripped and I though... damn it. That wouldn't have happened with a qb sneak... 2 years ago QB sneak was in the playbook. Frost made hay with it back in the day... its the easiest play in the world to call, especially when you have two cracks to gain 1 yard. SMH 2 Quote Link to comment

It's a lot harder to rip the ball away from a guy being pushed forward. Agreed- the better coached Oline teams you see doing this all the time. AND even going downfield on a pass play AFTER the ball has been released. Obviously you have to walk before running, but pushing the pile should be fairly instinctive- coached- held accountable to. In HS- you are not allowed to assist the ballcarrier. You don't see it called a lot though. Quote Link to comment

All of those last drives he was standing in the pocket all day. I would really like to see his average time to throw on those final drives last night because it really seemed like he took a full 3 seconds minimum before throwing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
