Zack Martin puts on a clinic in run blocking

[YosemiteSam]

Zack pancaked Maualuga

TFred and Leary also dominated their guys. Textbook all around

Except Free who let his man make the tackle.

 

[LucaBrasi]

There was a play on the 2nd drive I think where Zeke started to carry Burfict on his back for additional yardage and Martin pushed him forward for 3 more yards, Burfict got up after the play and was ready to do his usual nonsense, Martin initially got in his face and then just threw his hands up in the air like "oh, its you? I'm not going to waste my time taking a dumb penalty I'll just kick your *** again on the next play." Beautiful.

We need to resign him ASAP. Biggest reason I want to get out of this Romo contract.

How would they get out of the Romo contract other than a trade? I place the odds of being able to trade Romo at zero....point.....zero

 

[DTown214]

I really hope we could somehow transition La'el Collins to RT, make him the starter there and resign Leary. I'm sick of Free being the weak link.

 

[Swanny]

Wish Collins wasn't hurt, but glad we have Leary to replace him.

This isn't a knock on Collins. But I don't think it's a coincidence that the run game explodes with Leary in the game. I really wonder if it's a mistake to let this guy go after this season

Please find a different reference. This is a football site. Thank you.

That is a classic "Office Space" reference used for profiling purposes...it determines your coolness...and you may want to sit down for this... I have some bad news...

Ah hah!
I've seen it like 20 times. Good deep reference.

Should've caught it.

well at least it allowed the current better player to be on the field.

I'm a big fan of the dated and obscure references. That joke that only a few people in the room get but by the smile on their face in a sea of blank stares, you know you have found a kindred spirit set to your frequency...and you know in that moment, you can have a conversation with that person and be entertained. People like that are hard to find in this day and age.

Martin makes it look so easy, you wonder why every lineman doesn't do the same thing.

What makes him so good?

He has a Romo mentality. Has to win, every play.

He was the same way at Notre Dame.

The thing that really caught my eye was he'd do that, often, and just go back to the huddle.

Never showboated or taunted or strutted around.

He's a happy go lucky personality. Smart too.

You won't see him without a smile on his face, off the field, very often.

Don't know if it's already been posted but what really impressed me was Ezee carrying that lineman three yards down the field.

He got hit at the LOS.

 

[lkelly]

They seem to be cut from the same cloth.

 

[1fisher]

You forgot the after he blew him 10 yards of the LOS part.

That was second level blocking on a LB..... OUTSTANDING, however!

 

[EPL0c0]

Can we ONCE AGAIN just express how thankful we are that Dallas drafted Zack Martin and not some QB that's not even in the league

I too am a fan of the obscure movie or tv reference. I'm ashamed I didn't catch the Bolton one It may be the first one I've heard.

I use the "so I've got that going for me" once a week it seems.--Bill Murray talking about the Dalai lama. Probably didn't need to explain.

 

[Direwolf63]

Hard to believe, but I think Tyron Smith is the 3rd best o-lineman on the team.

Caddyshack...I've used it too

He had help from Zack, I think, but it was 6 more yards on a two yard gain.

Except that Free is currently the better option at RT than Collins. Sucks right? In the end, you don't make yourself worse just because you don't like your current best option at RT.

What makes him so good?

His skill set and mentality. Wants to dominate and he know he can do it. Reminds me a little of Larry Allen. Not as strong but his technique is better than LA's was. Martin is special and now he's healthy too.
