Birmingham is dominating the UFL.

[@chanmaran5107]

Just give the championship to them

Great game Birmingham we get better every week. Hope JoJo tilery is ok, go stallions

[@madboyreadynow28]

I love the fundamentals of tackling. No hip drops, no horse collar tackles. They do it the right way.

[@Mr.matthewRiley-rg5ig]

Just a rule they( NFL) to make it safer no way

[@madboyreadynow28]

@Mr.matthewRiley-rg5ig proper tackling techniques and the fundamentals of tackling will cut down in injuries, which is the goal. Foot all is a full contact sport, so there will always be dangers. The hip drop dislocated man ankles and more broken legs since this new tackle came about after the NFL issued a ban of upper head area hits and defenseless players hit.

Nebraska fan here. Always happy to see Martinez doing well. He deserves so much more than what he achieved in college. Great player. Great human. I wish him the best of luck!

[@austinberry3299]

Yep he could have been great with a decent team and average coaching around him, just shows how far our team has fallen. Hopefully we are on the up hill climb now. I will keep rooting for him and hope he gets a shot in the nfl one day.

The Stallions players supposedly aren't good enough for the NFL but for the past three seasons, Skip has done a brilliant job of getting the best out of his guys.

Adrian Martinez is going to the NFL, dude is one of the fastest QBs I've seen and he's only 24, true dual threat which is almost a necessity in the NFL now, someone will sign him, great backup at the very least

You cannot defeat the Stallions, mang.

[@spartacus1577]

Can’t help but feel that Martinez is a better, or at least a more explosive playmaking option as a backup quarterback than at least half of the #2 QBs in the league. Starter? Probably not, at least definitely not at first. He needs consistency more than anything, but some of these throws and this obvious athleticism has got to be more useful than the dudes riding the bench right now

[@ryandavis4448]

He's a runner....if he done that in the NFL every play, he'd be injured fairly quickly.

[@spartacus1577]

@@ryandavis4448 but as a #2 which is what I’m saying he would be, what you want is a spark and that’s what he could give. Btw a lot of these players have played in the nfl or are at least the same size as most nfl players and hit just as hard, actually harder because the rules protect QBs even when they run. Plus he’s shown that if you commit to the run he can make good enough pass to hit receivers, he does it every week
