is it time to put Martin at LT ?

**allsilverdreams** · 11-19-2012, 04:02 PM

i love JL and think he is one heck of a football player.but i also think he has declined over the last few years and being a FA next year he may still demand to be payed top 5 LT money.i would like to believe that being injured quite often has played its tole on this one time sure hall of fame LT.
i do hope we keep JL but only if he doesnt break the bank and demand top 10 LTmoney.
with the possability of him leaving miami in the offseason due to another team shelling out a giant contract is it time to switch Martin back over to his natural spot at LT just to be safe in regards to next season and the draft?

I mean, Martin hasn't been much better to be honest. I am very concerned for Long and Martin against Seattle's speed-rushers.

I believe JM was drafted to be JL replacement. Give JM a year to get bigger stronger and then flip JL for whatever we can get.

You cant flip him he's going to be a free agent
the only thing we can hope for is a comp pick

Right now both are tackles suck. They are both the biggest reason we have lost these last few games. Martin actually has an excuse though and for a rookie isn't doing to bad. Unless we sign a better Lt in free agency or use another high draft pick then yeh he should be our Lt next year cause signing Long to a massive contract is out of the question. He hasn't played well enough to justify it. Maybe we can get him at a discount.

My question is. How many top draft picks and free agents do we have to use to get a decent offensive line? I am just about to lose interest in another sport.

Compared to Jake Long the "vet", Martin the rookie has been playing at a pro-bowl level. To consider switching them in the middle of the season like this is laughable!
