"Oh what a tangled web we weave...." actually, I can remember Martin in NFL Europe. Pretty good arm. He is 31, and by no means a savior, but if Martz is comfortable, that makes me feel better. Our record wasn't real good with Green in there last year either. Not to say it was Green's fault, I am just saying that maybe the WR's are so used to Warner, that it will be tough for anyone to be 2nd. Germaine didn't have a great pre-season, but I could see where his personality may clash with Martz. Germaine gives me the impression of everything is neither too high or low, which I don't like in a QB. I like some spit and vinegar in them. They have to be the guy in the huddle that points their finger at someone and say "You're fault." (pc version). I don't think Germaine had the "stuff" to say that to Ike or Holt. Martin may.

But seriously, as I posted elsewhere, I rate Jamie and would go as far as saying I am glad he is our backup, maybe no trent green, but a good backup none the less. Hopefully he wont be needed though!The Breakfast Club. You want cheese with that?

Hopefully he won't be needed but equally I'm more comfortable with Martin back there. Like Txram I can remember being impressed with his time at Amsterdam and maybe he just hasn't been in the right system at the right time to show what he can do.
I don't expect him to produce Warner like numbers but equally he won't implode and leave the offense leaderless:helmet:

If we have to use either, we are in trouble. We should have called in Beurlein or someone like that if we were really troubled with our backup situation. The O line has really got to step up and protect Warner's Q all year. That means establishing a running game. My one knock on Martz is that maybe he gives up on the ground game too early or simply ignores it totally. We really don't have that Eddie George type of back, so maybe it is smart to abandon the run early if it isn't there and try to come back to it late like we normally do. Not sure, but I do know it is important to Kurt's health for the D line to anticipate a run.

Ahem, how many rushing yards did Faulk have last year ??
I think the thing is, Martz will pass if the other team keys on the run, simple as that. remember the game when the rams passed ... what 20 times before they ran the ball. Our team , as you say has no power back, therefore we play to our strong points. Its pretty simple to me

Another serviceable game from martin. Great great thrown on the bomb to curtis. Dont know what happened on the int to looker, he was open cant tell if it was the throw or looker. The int in the end zone was a fantastic play by the db.
As backups go, he isnt so bad. I think the expectations on this board for backups in the cap era are often misplaced. How did garcia look today as a backup to the lions fans?
Here is what i know about martin. 2-0.
ramming speed to all
