[Video] Martinez speaks to media

Just watched it... Such an interesting, awkward kid. Sounds like he's infinitely more comfortable with the new offense.

 
The poor guy looks SO uncomfortable out there among the media. That is so not his comfort zone. He's tremendously awkward, and it comes off as arrogance, but it really isn't.

Still, he's not going to get better at this by staying away from the microphones. So he goes up there and plugs away. And I cringe.

Thankfully he's a hell of a lot better behind center than in front of the mic. And that's all that counts.

 
He definately did not want to be there lol

wonder how many times he will say "like" at the next interview, we should make a drinking game off that lol

 
You want a drinking game, listen for Bo's keywords:

Sloppy

Things need fixed

Did some good things

Business as usual

GOOD JOB - says that a million times.

Progressing

Lot of talent

Step up

Improve upon

Heck of a job

Lot of confidence

Feel real good

That's pretty much every Bo Pelini after-practice press statement.

 
Awkward is a good description I think. He speaks with his actions, and they were handicapped last year. He did not seem shy though during this clip.

Glad he spoke up, and hopefully put some of the rumors to bed.

Most people don't look that bright in front of that many reporters, especially at 20.

 
Guys, this isn't Toastmasters. He's a kid that isn't very media savvy. Would you rather have him give a good interview, and play like refried a$$, or be awkward with the media, and play his a$$ off...

 
I don't care what the kid sounds like in an interview, I just want him to be able to check off his primary receiver who is double covered and not throw it into the waiting arms of a LB that he never sees

Ever clammed up talking to a pretty girl? He's got 20 mics in his mug. Do you really think this is the best situation to judge his intelligence?
