FEATURED A standing ovation for a future HOFer

[Bobhaze]

I was saddened but not surprised to see the great Zack Martin decide it was time to retire. Guys with this level of greatness deserve more than just a round of applause. This is the kind of player that does not come along often. Zack Martin will have a bust in Canton and his name in the Cowboys Ring of Honor.

Martin is one of the greatest players EVER to wear the star as a Dallas Cowboy. He will be remembered along with other great Cowboys Hall of Fame offensive lineman like Larry Allen, Rayfield Wright, and another eventual HOFer Tyron Smith.

Look at some of Martin’s unbelievable accomplishments as a player:

• 7 time FIRST TEAM ALL PRO
• 2 time SECOND TEAM ALL PRO
• NFL All Decade Team 2010-19
• Had 7 accepted holding penalties for his entire career (that alone is astounding)

One sad asterisk on a truly all time great player is the fact Martin will be one of only a handful of Hall of Famers to never play in a conference championship game or a Super Bowl. But what a truly awesome career.

When we see greatness like this retire, a salute and standing ovation is in order. Thank you Zack Martin!

Martin is one of the greatest players EVER to wear the star as a Dallas Cowboy.

Yeah he was!

 

[StarOfGlory]

One of the greatest lineman this franchise will ever see and in NFL history.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Next stop, Canton.

Thanks for the years of service here in Dallas big fella.

Hope he gets a podcast and tells it, like it really is. I don't listen to any or even press conferences, but I'd listen to him

 

[DallasEast]

Forget 80% of the vote. Zack Martin receives 100% of Board of Selectors' votes through all three preliminary rounds and the final round. Even one dissenter will mean unquestionable Cowboys bias.

 

[Catpappy]

Did his talking on the field

[cowboyec]

he should go into the ring of honor...TODAY.

 

[Johannes44]

Man he and Fredbeard were so good to watch together

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Tips hat. Hope he enjoys the next phase of life.

Honestly....it just sickens me. What a wasted career. Just like Tyron and Fred.

Martin is everything you said and more. What an elite workhorse. Any elite player who squandered their entire NFL career playing for our dysfunctional franchise.

 

[Blitzen]

Such a dominant force for so many years-plus a classy dude. Great to watch him knock guys aside like bowling pins.

 

[gtb1943]

I love the fact that you never heard any yapping from him
no podcast
no trash talk
he just brought his lunch pail to every game for every minute

 

[ClintDagger]

The guy was dominant and never committed a penalty in his prime. The rare times 70 was flagged the replay would show it to be a blown call. For me that’s his legacy.

All the way to the Hall of Fame.

The shame is that we had 3 HOFers on the same team for almost a decade and we couldn’t even win a divisional playoff game. (Martin, Witten and Tyron Smith) Not being willing or able to put enough talent and coaching around those guys is a travesty.
