Borderline 1st round talent. FA after Richie Incognito. On the field, he would fit nicely into the big hole at right tackle for the Texans, which would let you address other holes with draft picks. Would you give it a try if the price was right, or is the baggage too much?
I would think we have a strong enough locker room to do it. Might be tough with the whole new coaching staff though.
Everyone on the Texans hates Incognito so I'm sure Martin would be welcomed. I think it would create a nice training camp competition for the RT job.
Rather have incognito. I think he's one of those guys you hate but would love to have on your team Martin seems too soft
He's a better than average tackle, which would be a dramatic improvement over Derek Newton. Let's bring him in if possible.
I am fairly sure the sentiment is quite clear among all lineman.. Martin is gonna be an outcast...And im sure that Richie Incognito gets a job first...and I totally despise Richie...
This seems like the perfect locker room for him. He was alright when he played,. Maybe he wasn't fully focused on football during games. Anyways, average is a huge upgrade.
No. He was a poor player and he will not be respected or trusted by his teammates. He cannot even handle his own business.
He sounds like a pu**y and I don't think he would click with O'Brien. I think he's more in line with a Kubiak coach.
People say stuff like this all the time (Kubiak=soft, etc.) but it is not true. Nobody who played for Kubiak thinks he was a soft coach. Fans can be so stupid. If a coach isn't grunting and screaming in front of the camera they think that means he's giving the players candy and foot rubs off the camera.
That's so funny. Didn't think about that. I actually think there's too much baggage. O'Brien comes from the Pats . You don't go outside the locker-room; you don't go to the media. I think players would have a hard time trusting him. His best landing spot might be the colts, with his old friend Andrew Luck. But it is true that we've got a strong locker-room and a strong collective hatred for Incognito. Stranger things have happened.
