is it time to put Martin at LT ?

[jason_taylor]

jake long will be on our roster next year. No way they just let him walk< he is still way better than most LTs in the league even while struggling. It would set us WAY back to have to go out and spend ANOTHER high pick on a OT and hope he turns out to be half as good as jake[QUOTE imo we done have a LT on the team in Martin and he blocked the left side (blind side ) for andrew luck in college and if Long wants big money then we let him walk and put Martin bk at his org poss , and imo he will do as good of a job as Long did.

you guys act like jake cant cut it anymore as a OT, he is still one of the better OTs in the league, you dont move a OT to guard until they are washed up at OT. Jake is still a good OT

give him time to adjust to a totally differnt o-line scheme than he has ever played.

imo the last couple of games jake has gotten owned.

Letting long go is stupid. Replacing him with Martin is even dumber. Why people want to run long out of town while replacing him with a mediocre rookie is beyond me

WOW !!!!! Martin is playin out of possion , and please i hope you are NOT JUDGING HIM FROM PLAYIN ON THE RT side ?im tellin you that Martin is as good of a LT as the game will have , he was playin LT for andrew luck at stanford and done a hell of a job. but please dont judge him from playin an out of poss spot where he is still tryin to adjust to.

Watching Long and Martin over the past few games, anyone championing the latter is out of their mind.

LT suits Martin's skill set better than RT. They are different positions. Martin has nimble feet and is smart. There have always been questions about Long's ability to play on the left.
I would like to see Martin on the left to see how he does. Long may actually be a pretty good RT at this point in his career.

If they are thinking of letting Jake walk after this season, yes they should try Martin starting LT.

Yeah throw away a multiple pro bowler for a few bad games...talk about over reacting...JL will get it together

Do you watch games??????? Jake Long has been abused by speedy pass rushers since his first year on the NFL, problem is lots of teams have one on this days. For the money he is making we could have 3 SOLID starters better as his position than he currently is; that is the main reason I would throw away an OVERRATED, EXPENSIVE and DECLINING multiple probowler!!

The sad thing is, and it's nuts to think, but switching Long and Martin might actually be a great idea simply because of the ZBS scheme and their individual skillsets. It would never happen, though.

You can be sure the Dolphins have a plan with Jake but we don't know that plan. For that reason, for me, it is too specific a question. My guess would be no you leave him where he is. I think they are likely keeping Jake Long so there is no point in messing around there.
