Poma1441 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Who takes over the starting job in Tampa? Martin should be on the bench with his season so far.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdybaz Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Easy, Sims. I've been saying for 2+ weeks that Sims will take over once he gets the opportunity, and now fantasy/NFL sources are saying the same thing. Martin hasn't produced and isn't the same back he was as a rookie, while Rainey moves better in space but tends to lose fumbles. Neither were drafted by Lovie, while he DID invest a 3rd rounder in Sims, an excellent one-cut back who has WR-type hands. Notice Lovie has not committed to either back full time, in deed or word? He's been waiting for Sims to practice and get healthy, and week 9 is the first opportunity for Sims to take over. Look for them to ease him in at first, but before long I think Sims will run away with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewg93 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Martin is garbage and I think Sims will take over. Remember, Rainey was given the opportunity to prove himself when Martin was out and did nothing to run away with it. I think that the coaches believed that Sims would take over when healthy assuming that Martin didn't blow up in his absence which he obviously did not do.
