OAR…I’m partial to Dean Martin a bit more…but, well, you know…

As to the oline, I think it was good that the shuffled line debuted against a weaker defense. The true test will come against a tougher one.

I still saw reasons for concern (Freeman got hit a LOT), but hopefully they are correctable things. Larsen did very well at center, which surprised me after he was away from the position so long. The left G kept collapsing as well.

Martin made the line look better than it actually was….but they still did well considering it was their first outing.

And yes, Lorig and the O-line did a great job too!
I always said this team had talent, just horrible coaching from the Raheem the Dream era or the Raheem reign-of-terror.

He’s my favorite Martin!
An Aston Martin combines three important elements: power, beauty and soul. Aston Martins are truly special – they always have been and always will be.

Doug’s excellent vision and ability to find the cutback lanes have helped a great deal. Line blocked very well, though.

Martin is the real deal. Confraternity on a career day and leading the bucs to victory. Kudos to the patched up line and lorig as well. Has anyone noticed that Sullivan is calling some great games lately? He is mixing it up and seems to be getting into a groove.

I said in the preseason this was the Greatest Offense in Bucs History. But what has surprised me is how Physical this team is, they are flat out kicking the crap out of the other teams Defense. I thought we would get dominated at the Line today, and after a half it was us who was Dominating.

I was already gearing to 2012 (if for no other reason than Injuries), but this team can do damage this year. Though we do have to go 3-0 in our next 3 games to really have a legit chance at a playoff spot.

Damn straight Hawaiian Lorig sprung Martin on 2 of those runs today.

@1976Buc,
Are you kidding? If he runs for less than 150 next week, there will people on this board wanting him cut.

Martin has had a couple of those historical games. They don’t come every week but boy is it sweet when they happen. I hope the fans aren’t quick to dump him when he returns to earth. I too still think Blount is a tremendous athlete and will do well at his next home…hopefully not in our division.

Lorig played phenomenal today, no doubt. I’ve never been a big fan of him, but I am very happy to be wrong. Not bad for a 7th round pick, converted from a DE.
