Quote:maybe it has to do with weak calves or some other leg/foot muscle that is under developed and not used to the footwork they are trying to implement. Will be something to keep an eye because eventually a slip like that is gonna cost him.
True. It already did cost him in the last game when he slipped then got sacked. Although to Bortles' credit he did almost manage to bulldoze back to the line of scrimmage
Quote:Do you remember which game it was? If he has slipped before it definitely didn't happen often
Fiesta Bowl. 3rd quarter 7:43. We're doomed. Bortles going to slip right into the Hall of Fame. Too soon?

I think he actually gained a yard on that play didnt he?
I've been watching him since he started at UCF. He slips once in almost every game. I have no idea why and I have no idea why he throws ducks in practice and lasers in games. All I know is that he's a gamer.

That's really what's important. Some people feed off high pressure and just perform better and it appears Bortles does just that.

I know....I'd much rather have that then someone who does good in practice and then [BLEEP] the bed in games.
People make too much out of practice.
If a player performs well in games thats what counts.

Really? Maybe it's cause I didn't get a good view since I was in the stands, but I've rarely seen Bortles slip this much. I've also seen him since he first started and attended all of the UCF home games. Regardless, this is something fixable.
OMG......now people are trying to make a big deal about the slipping.
Slipping is his trademark
Quote:I think he actually gained a yard on that play didnt he?
It was either -1 yardage, back to the line, or +1 yardage I don't remember lol. But still, he showed how tough he can be to take down by regaining that yardage lost from the slip. He may not be so lucky next time and that can easily result in a fumble, so he definitely needs to fix that.

just leave.

Nah, that would be throwing the ball with this face:
Quote:OMG......now people are trying to make a big deal about the slipping.
no one is making a big deal out of it.. most of us are simply curious as to why he does it.. it's kinda odd and yes it could lead to some bad plays but so far he's been really impressive.
Quote:He didn't slip, his feet were too awesome for the ground.
Yes you know him!
Quote:just leave.
I thought it was cute
I feel like Roethlisberger slipped a few times but maybe I'm creating false memories?
Slipping? Seriously? We're really reaching to find things to grind over now.

I really don't think anyone is making a big deal out of it.. I'm more curious about it than anything else.

I'm not sure why anyone is even remotely curious. He wasn't the only player who slipped last night.
