Like many have stated previously on this topic, I have no idea what to make of this best buddy stance. Generally, if you are being tormented by an alpha male, playing along with the harassment just invites more ridicule & gives the aggressor an open door green light. Some guys are driven to fight, some guys are given to flight, some guys don't wanna create any waves, & some guys use humor to loose any tension or friction in a locker room. 

 

I have no idea who is lying & I have no idea if we are getting partial truths or not. If I were Martin, I will endure torment up to a point, it comes to a head, & one of 2 things is gonna happen: You either kick my caboose or kill me. Either way, I stand up for myself or go down swinging. This isn't an arrogance thing; it's a can I live with myself & look at myself in the mirror tomorrow? Physical strength isn't everything. Bat bleep crazy antics scares the crap out of most people. 

 

I like to resolve matters through peaceful discussion & a war of wits, but death is better than wounded pride. SW1 has always believed that & I always will. Just my 2 cents on the situation...

I'm a guy, I know how jokes between dudes that are essentially friends go - ( Hey man!... How's your wife and my kids?  etc...   yuk yuk  more stupid guy retort stuff... yuk yuk)

 

I don't buy Martin and Incognito are friends. Why?  Here's an article that Martin FEARED retribution from Incognito-

Remember, Incognito laced out to Adam Schefter too!  Incognito wouldn't really do anything people say?  Pfffftttt.  Tell that to a hotel security guard just as training camp was beginning-

Incognito has a history, on and off field.  He's no leader, he's a loose cannon. He's had NFL players swing a helmet at him!  LOL  His history is littered with , to quote Brian Casserly, epic "Turditude"!  I wonder if it was second year player Merlin Olsen instead of Martin how all this would have played out... or Reggie white entering his seconds season.  Hmmmm....

 

And GM Ireland supposedly told Martin to punch Incognito?  Wow... faill everywhere and it is going to get bad.  Richie Incognito does not get any benefit of the doubt from me.  It has to be proven.  Thant's my cal on the field.

 

Yeah if you google Richard Jewell  you'll find  the media was claiming he was the olympic bomber in a rush to judgement .

 

Some times the media gets it wrong .   Half truths & past stories are worthless & only confuse the issue  what is Martins story gonna be in a court of law ? Thats what I want to hear ..

As a starter, and that's not not even from Martins high powered attorney, this just initial speculation from an ESPN lawyer and analyst Lestor Munson.

Martin will need some team mates to stick up for him in court to get the "big payday" ...    and I don't see that happening.

 

In fact the team has painted a totally different picture, be it right or wrong...    Just because someone gets their feelings hurt does not mean they are entitled .to MILLIONS of dollars in damages.

 

From all I have read on this topic,  I get the felling Martin totally went about this the wrong way.  Because not ONE Dolphin is sticking up for Martin.    They to a MAN thought it was all good.      

 

Something's gotta give.....

 

This will be very interesting to see how it plays out.   The NFL is a VERY powerful entity.  They don't like their image tainted.

 

A rumor floating around is that Martin is....      connect the dots...

    • I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.    
    • Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.
    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
