Is something wrong with Zack Martin?

[clff15701]

I can’t remember the last time he got manhandled like he did today. Brown was eating his lunch on most play’s except the long run play.

Father time. It's undefeated.

Brown is one of the best nose guards in the game. He was destroying our center all game long.

Not really. He’s just getting old and isn’t all-pro anymore.

He’s fine for another year or two since we have other o-line spots to fill, but it’s not like he can be great forever.

gotta be the last big payday done through extortion…..it rarely fails

 

[KJJ]

He missed a lot of training camp holding out and he suffered an injury a few weeks ago. That’s probably played a part in some of his less than stellar play this season.

Brown is a beast, was hoping to try to steal him last year. Next draft needs to shore up both lines.

Happens to all the great players at some point in their careers.
Hoping Martin and Tyron can play well enough along with the rest of the team) to get that long elusive 6th NFL Title before both guys call it a day.

He's been a great player but is aging. It's time to spend some 1st and 2nd rounders on O-line.

 

[StarChamber_33]

Nagging injuries and years of wear and tear have caught up to him.. With that being said, he is not performing to his own GREAT STANDARD, but he is still among the best in the league.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

He is also stuck between two struggling players. That can't be good for him at his age. Steele will be better next year. But we desperately need to upgrade center in the draft.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Would have been nice to still have had that 4th round pick Jerry gave up for a BUST project.

 

[offlimits]

Father time. It's undefeated.

Plus, as my wife said today... "He got paid".

He’s still good but it’s hard to sustain the type of run he has done as you get older

I think you will continue to see this decline . He also plays next to a poor center and RT. That probably don’t help

 

[plasticman]

He didn't dominate on every single play, so something must be wrong with him?

Maybe that other guy was really good.

Martin didn't get manhandled all day long. he lost some, he won some. Generally speaking, he still wins a heck of a lot more than he loses.

 

[Blackrain]

If Travis Frederick was next to him it would cover a multitude of sins

Did you see the film of him vs Jalen Carter? The reason they weren’t able to help Steele was because they we’re having to give Martin help. Carter took his lunch money. Age is catching up quick!

 

[T-RO]

It's obvious that Martin has lost some of his abilities. But geesh.

Somebody here sees two or three plays here and makes wild proclamations and a thread is off to the races without anyone tapping the brakes and asking for better info. I'll wait for more informed, sensible and *balanced* information.

I believe he is more injured than they are letting on.
