Did a White Team defender just PUSH Kade Warner in the back in the hope that would make the tackle?

:facepalm:

I saw that, and thought, my eyes had to be playing a trick on me... :lol:

 It was d lineman & Warner was by him. 

 

[Mierin]

I wonder if Martinez avoided an interception with that "fake"

 

[Hunter94]

Rain  might be moving in?

I think we might be talking about different White Team defenders.

 

[Mierin]

So... do we have a FG kicker?

 

[Making Chimichangas]

Kicking game needs work.  A missed PAT and FG.

 

[Beez]

Well....the offense looked like it could be real exciting.  And remember no Spielman or Morgan.  Tough to not be excited.

DiNardo said our practices looked like B1G practices.  Way better than anything he said last 3 years.

Martinez has that IT factor. Smooth runner. Arm is good enough to make plays. Poised and confident for a kid who is still supposed to be in high school 

...not to mention who MISSED his SR year and is supposedly not back to full form yet

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Gotta be Martinez man he is smooth, in command and makes some really nice throws.

Yeah I'm concerned about Gebbia's weight. I really thought he would've bulked up a little by now, but he's still skinny as a rail.

I know, I know it's just the spring game, but Martinez looks the best out of the QBs.

Yeah, if we picked QBs as starters based on spring games we'd have a horrible prediction rate.

One thing I noticed is Gebbia and Vedral were pushing a little bit, put too much stress on themselves, whereas the other two were more relaxed. The white team QBs naturally looked much better when the white team offensive line played well, which sadly wasn't that often. Martinez is comfortable running the ball and making quick throws, so he looked good. That's not to say he won't look good in the fall, too, but this was his element.

The other thing to notice...Gebbia and Martinez were never more than two feet away from Mario. If one talked to him, the other wasn't far. Should be a very competitive summer at the position.
