Rovers Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 ENOUGH already! Yes, the Pitt D is tough, and aside from Rudi going over a hundered, the have not given up over 40 rushing yards at Heinz..... but geeze, the Jets are a run first, run second team, sporting the NFL's LEADING rusher! Jordan has ONLY gotten carries in games that werent close. That means about 30 carries for Martin. His avg yards per carry is 4.6. Drop that to 4.0, and it;s still 120 yards! Would you bench any other RB who led the league in rushing, even against Pitt? Even these site geniouses had him down for 100 or less against Houston.... he got almost 130 and two TD's. That was because Houston had only given up 3 rushing TD's all year. .... because everyone passed on them instead! It's the playoffs... play your studs, and Martin is at the top of the heap as far as RB's go. He will produce this week, Pitt isnt .... the Ditka Bears!

dirtyharry Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I would not bench C-Mar, no matter who he's playing against. Good luck Please see my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-waa Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Despite being the NFL leading rusher right now, there are situations that I would bench Martin. If you have other top RBs that are producing...why not. Pitt is a tough D to face, and I don't think that the Jets have a prayer. With the workload that he has been taking this year, I don't expect that he will make it down the homestretch at full strength. I'm not saying that I would bench him to play...Duckett or anything...but at this time of the year, you gotta go with your gut on decisions. I don't expect we'll see Cumar back next season. I think that he'll go out with a bang...not fade away like so many before him. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
