Josh Mitchell Calling Teammates Out

[Red_Alert]

My guess is he's trying to get guys together to work without the coaches in this down time. Watch film and figure out what's going wrong. Go the extra mile. Sounds like the "Leaders" got better things to do.

who are the "leaders" do you think? Since he is a D guy, I am expecting it to be other D players? Or he going through the entire team?

I hear what ur saying RA. I am tired of it too. That might be why we cant land top notch D-line talent the come in here and talk to the players an realize they are lazy fat slow and dont want to improve and realize that they dont want to have anything to do with it. I know I wouldnt come to a school whos players dont have the mindset on winning national championships.

That being said if the top players want to speak with our top they better do it inbetween sets.

Could recruits though see this as an opportunity to come in and play right away because their work ethic and results will make them better then the lazy ones?

Not sure for this year. I assume guys who saw a lot of playing time last year.

Last years 'Leaders' were Steinkuhler and Meredith. Two guys I was often frustrated with as I watched them quit on plays and walk around a lot. I called them 'the fixtures'. They just seemed to be going through the motions for the free ride. As 5th year guys they knew Bo's X's and O's so they were sure to be on the field.

Taylor is a leader. Bell is a leader. Ameer is a leader. I have no I dea on defense. Michael Rose I assume will be a leader.

I am sure the coaches are not too fond of this public call out.

I definitely see this guy as one of the people he is calling out....

 

[HuskerPower52]

Possable. But as a true froshman it takes some big balls to come into any school and start calling out players as weak or lazy. But maybe they just sneek in under the radar like what you said.

Unless they see a 'good ol' boy system'?

The good ol' boys just going through the motions can sabotage you if you ain't playin' the game..

 

[HuskerPower52]

calling out Martinez? why would you assume that?

 

[OregonDucks]

Either way, whatever is going on. Best hope this thing is nipped in the butt before the season starts.

Naw...I doubt he's calling out Taylor.

I just don't see Martinez as one who puts in that super hard work. To me the guy seems like a drama queen. I remember hearing those stories about him walkiong into the locker room and calling his Dad or having his dad fight his battles for him with the coaches. Maybe I am wrong?

Also seems like Martinez is going to be a Senior and feels like his job is untouchable, well, it seems like that has been his ego all along, since he doesn't seem to be that great, yet he has never lost his starting job. Always has amazed me that Nebraska doesn't have a better QB in their program than him.

Martinez may not be as vocal as he needs to be, but effort is not his weakness.

Martinez is a gamer. He can't help it he's a safety turned qb.

This is why it shocks me that Nebraska has no better option at QB, nor have they ever even tried to input a better player in the position. Guy is clearly not a true QB. Yet his job has never been threatened.

Take away his turnovers while generally running for his life, he's managed the offense pretty well.

It's not his fault he couldn't score 64 and 71.

Nebraska's just not good up front on either side of the ball. Sometimes the qb unfairly gets the blame.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Martinez is competitive as all get out. As of right now Nebraska has two very good young QBs.

Yes, we know OD. Martinez sucks. He's so much worse than anyone that ever played or even thought about playing for the great championship program that is Oregon.
