Nice.

But Zack Martin deserves to be on the second team.

The stats apparently say he has not given up a sack and only a few pressures but from my view he keeps on screwing up stunts and twists that are sent at him. He does it every game and it is getting to the point where I am very concerned. If he cannot pull his head out of his butt and quit chasing guys outside like he is still on the edge then he may have to move to tackle.

It's getting Romo killed and I think this oline is overrated big time. They are a transcendent run team at times but top ol do not screw up pass protection pushing a dozen times each game like this one does.

Martin hasn't stood out to me as doing poorly in pass protection Fuzzy.

Having said, the pass protection, as a whole, isn't where it needs to be. You can't call the Cowboys offense line the best in the NFL when it is on pace for allow 34 sacks.

He consistently dominates his one on one matchups but like I said he will chase guys outside over and again and appears downright oblivious to line stunts at times in the process. Free/Parnell is outside and it destroys the integrity of the pass protection leaving a huge gap in the middle. I get that it is a rookie thing but it doesn't hold up to the 'never makes the same mistake twice' standard.

It is a huge hole in his game and to my mind was a big reason why Haslett was able break our front with a barrage of twists, blitzes and stunts with impunity. We were straight out exposed Monday night.
