Am I the only one that's noticed...?

[GoBigOrange_2309]

That Barnett is a little slow out of his stance when the ball is snapped? He's played good for a true freshman thru his first 2 games and I think he is gonna be a beast in the next few years, but it seems like he get started a split second too late. Has anybody else noticed this?

No you're the only one, jmo

 

[GoBigOrange_2309]

Yes, jmo

Maybe it is just me. Go back and look at the defensive plays video freak has

 

[volswin08]

Inexperienced players play slow, or play out of position sometimes...just sayin.

 

[Fijivol72]

This is an easy one. As a freshman the hesitation is completely a confidence one. Once he is settled in he will be the beast we need.

 

[AndyMizunogolfer]

I don't know how that would be the case. He seems to be in the backfield every play. Maybe his first step is really fast.

 

[GoBigOrange_2309]

I agree he's gonna be a beast for us in the future. He just seems like the last player off the line on plays. Not a knock or anything was just wondering if I was the only one that's noticed

sounds like a knock,,,how fast you get off the line...lil slow I bet

Just his reaction time seems a little slow

Maybe also watching the ball instead of jumping off sides rather than trying to guess the snap count

^^^ This ^^^^

Young players have to think more and are hesitant because they don't want to make mistakes. He will get faster with experience.

This was my thinking. You can obviously tell he has a ton of potential

 

[VarnellVol]

Smokescreen.... so OU thinks he's slow off the ball and then come Saturday he's blowing past the line. All part of Butch's master plan!

 

[peyton4heisman]

OP somebody around here is slow, I agree. But it's not Barnett

 

[GoBigOrange_2309]

Not really saying he's slow as a player, just his reaction time. Like others have pointed out it may be because he's a freshman and not trying to jump offsides. Maybe I should have worded it different

Delete this quick before Stoops' spies see it...and don't post any more secrets!

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

So clean up technique and he can be even better as a freshman.

how fast is the reaction time suppose to be ?

 

[volfaninutah]

Maybe he doesn't want pre snap penalties and is playing it safe. Butch seems to get REAL red in the face when we get stupid penalties.

Damn! I just "liked" a Fiji post. Somebody beer me, quick!!:yikes:

 

[GoBigOrange_2309]

I don't know. That's why I was pointing it out. If you go back and look at the video of the defensive plays from the USU state game that Freak has posted, I can't be the only one that notices that he seems to be reacting a SPLIT second late. Again not saying that it's a bad thing or a knock on him, just wondering if it's just a freshman thing or what

 

[GoBigOrange_2309]

I just watched the highlights again just to make sure I wasn't crazy. It's not on every play but there's a few plays when he's still in his stance after all the other linemen are engaged in a block. I can't wait to watch him when he gets off the snap quick! He's gonna be a beast!

We gotz lots of em'!

 

[aaronvol]

he actually always has back side contain...so him getting upfield with a right handed qb, particularly against running qbs its not a big deal. He is not wanting to give up the inside lane..just a thought.
