Ben Martin 3rd string?

[dooleydiesel28]

On volquest.com it has Ben Martin as 3rd string DE is this true??? i thought he would start.

 

[Lord Vader]

He's sick and questionable for the game...

I think he's 2nd string behind Gerald Williams.

Gerald Williams has come on strong lately. I don't think Martin would have started even if healthy.

Williams was the starter. The article I read this morning made it sound like either he or Martin would start Saturday depending on which one was available. Bohannon will back them up.

I thot the original depth chart posted on TFP has Martin & Bohannon as "co-2nd teamers". I've yet to figure what co-starters / 2nd teamers at the same pos means, but I guess we'll know after tommorrow.
Nevertheless, it is suprising that a player with such high expectations has yet to crack the starting lineup. Although GW is a beast and had high expectations too. BTW, GW should be what a 28 or 29 year old man after all he went thru.
I hope WB is truly as good as BM, which would indicate good depth in the DL. We're relatively small up front when considering depth, so we need the young guys some.

^^This is how I understand it as well. Williams is listed as the starter, with Martin and Bohannon as bracketed backups.

Is Ben a bust?

This is the season where that question really begins to be answered. We'll see.

He played in every game last season and, according to his bio, had the most tackles of any reserve DL.

It gets tiresome to hear anything related to anybody not being All American is somehow tied to Fulmer. (Actually it's kinda tiresome to still be hearing about Fulmer period) Especially when we're talking about a DL that was on Chavis's side of the ball. God knows there's never been any talent shown by anybody on D under Chavis.

I hope Martin really comes out this year, I really do, but him being a Jr and still not starting behind Williams makes you wonder.

TOS is not the best place to look at the depth chart. It has NUMEROUS errors concerning class years on many of the players.
