Zack Martin: DNP (Rest/Back) - The back injury is NEW and concerning

[Chocolate Lab]

Why are over 75% of his touches coming on long down situations? Why in those long down situations are we going heavy set and tipping the defense off about what we're doing? Makes no sense if we're being objective.

Because he's the greatest pass blocker in the league.

That was supposedly his other amazing quality, besides of course rushing for two yards on third and two.

This could be his final season. Ever since he held out for more money the injuries started up.

 

[big dog cowboy]

We should have drafted O'Cyruss Torrence

No

Ok, so use him in those scenarios.

Was. Let's not confuse the past with the present.

Absolutely not. He's is immune to injuries & father time. According to many experts here, he's never had anything less than pancake blocks and All Pro seasons. Good for at least another 10 years.

He was brought in to be a guy that helps with the short yardage downs..It's hard to argue against the point being made.

It makes perfect sense. Zeke is in those plays to block usually.

However, at times I’m sure rather than pass they just run a draw play and Zeke is in to make it seem like it’s a pass play.

Even as much as I rip Zeke and want him off the team now. He is good at blocking for Dak in the pocket.

Martin must be a pet cat....he doesn't get the cut him, he's old and slow treatment. Even when he held out, there wasn't much criticism. He has been great and deserves the respect.

We agree on most stuff. Don't know why you get so wound up about this one subject.

Bad form to call my post moronic. Double bad when I'm right.

The numbers suggest he is not in those plays overwhelming to block

 

[diamonddelts]

He's also old (for football) and has played many years. Father time gets everyone eventually. He'll get his gold jacket once he's eligible.

Yep

What numbers? Do you know the total number of long distance to go plays? Do you know how many of those long distance to go plays Zeke has played and blocked for? Do you know the ratio? Of long distance to go plays that Zeke blocked compared to how many he ran?

I don’t see any of those numbers posted. I just see his total carry number on those types of plays which tells us very little without knowing what the ratio of runs to blocks he has in those situations.

Good video! Really shines a light on the questionable Zeke carries and usage.

Agreed

Yea I looked them up. 1:4

opinions are like....

everyone has one

You were the one claiming he has been lousy for three years right?
so just more of the same for you
wrong wrong wrong
now this season you might be right does not make up for being wrong again and again
For some reason you hate him which is up to you; but everyone knows it so you are just wasting your time

 

[dmq]

Sounds like he’s in a perfect negotiation position for an extension.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Told fellow fans he was shot. Jerry should of traded him before last season for a high draft pick when he could of gotten one. Jerry ride his stars until they fall and turn to dust. You can't be loyal in this NFL if you want to win. Trade your star players the season before their final contract. Especially if they are older. Man. This guy is the most worthless GM in history!!

He got the ultimate respect when Jerry gave him yet another contract after his hold out......respect from a bunch of yahoos on a website doesn't mean anything to him

You so funny! I've explained my position numerous times. You just want to try to discredit me for being years ahead of you. Can't apologize for understanding what I see. You just need to question your opinions if they are different than mine. You can learn. I believe in you.

Besides, my last post was about the ridiculous claims others have made about him. I only pointed out how ludicrous they were.
