I’m sorry, but that’s not something that RB’s wait until they are in the NFL to develop. That’s called instincts and field vision, and if a RB doesn’t have that by the time he’s in the NFL he’ll probably never have it.
I called this after the very first game, Martin either has very little patience or someone on the coaching staff is telling him to just get what is readily available and that’s good enough. I don’t blame it all on Martin, there’s only so much wiggle room on straight up the gut iso’s with a fullback clogging the hole constantly. Lorig works his ass off, but there’s no reason for him to be in the game on nearly every offensive snap. Our personnel groupings and formations are awful, we never spread the defense out with three and four WR’s and run the ball.
I can only base Martin’s skills off of what I’ve seen so far, but what I’ve seen is a guy that should really only be used outside the tackles. He should be getting 5 or 6 targets a game in the passing game and probably 5-10 carries. He’s a 3rd down back right now, which there’s nothing wrong with that, besides the fact that we used a 1st round pick on him.
I don’t think I can make it through another game of Martin up the gut and Blount with a baseball cap on his head standing on the sideline.

“At the end of the day, if they tell me to go in, I’m going to be ready,” said Blount, the team’s leading rusher in each of the past two seasons. “I might not play as much, but I stand there and listen and do everything that everybody else does. My time will come. And I’ll be ready.”
Schiano “coaches by (doing) what he thinks is going to work at that time,” Blount said, “and if he feels like it’s not my time to play or I’m not able to help the team at that point, what happened these last couple of weeks is going to continue to happen.”
