Will Zack Martin be back this season?

[CWR]

The whole offense falls apart without him at this point. In particular Zeke and the run game.

I see no reason to bring him back this season unless 1) he is fully healthy and 2) the Cowboys somehow win a few games and have a chance at the playoffs.

Even then, I would not bring him back personally.

He is way too important to the future of the team to risk a more serious injury playing a position he will not be playing after this year.

Im in agreement, but was wondering if anyone had a prognosis. All I've seen is multiple weeks.

I still don't know what's actually wrong yet.

If he can play, play him! I don't get this line of thinking......I get it, save him for next year...wah, wah, wah! If he can walk, play him and let him earn his money.

Calf strain was the last I heard. Its a reagrevation. Forget our logic. If the training staff says he can play you can bet MM is going to get him out there.

The coaches don't subscribe to that line of thinking anyways. They are trying to keep their jobs, not necessarily worried about the future right now.

You want him back? You in a hurry, govnor?
Why?
You harbor visions of a playoff run? Do you?
How sweet.

When I seen it I was sure it was a knee
But hearing it’s a reagrevation I think the smart move is shut him down for the year
McGovern has improved and remember he’s never had a real training camp. Let him get the reps and see if he continues to grow as a player
Let’s get some reps for the younger guys that will only make them better for next year

Coaches most definitely DO!!! The FO doesn't.

I have visions of faraway harbors that show realities I wish would come true, but I really have to come back home.

You dont think MM would trot him out the moment he was given the green light?

No not at all. My hopes of salvaging mediocrity went down with Martin.

For me, it's not about tanking or giving up. I played sports most of my life and I fully believe you should play to win, period.

However, given the Cowboys have only won 3 games and only have 5 games remaining, I see no reason to risk further injury, especially more serious injury, playing one of our best players out of position at this point.

That said, if they are going to play Martin at guard, I would be okay with bringing him back this year.

Coaches have very little say in these type of situations. Medical staff, Personnel executives, and Owner (if the caliber of the player merits the Owner's focus).

Coaches have even less say on these matters in Dallas.

Yeah, but you have some basic human traits...unlike these business minded individuals.

May have misunderstood your post. Yes! Any HC would play him

Piss ant coaches don't have any say.

I get that, but Im assuming the training staff says he can play although he may not be 100%. At that point MM says lets go. Would ownership veto the head coach? Hell, Jerry wants to win now as badly as anyone. Maybe Stephen steps in and says no let him recover to 100%. Its tought for me to anticipate what our crazy FO will do.

I'm assuming you're saying there are differences between coaches even though they may have the exact same title? ...or are you saying all coaches are piss ants in the hierarchy?
