sounds like martin is a gigantic pussy

 

And that's the reaction I expect most folks to have.

 

A professional offensive lineman with 'emotional problems'?

 

The trenches are a nasty place, not for the faint of heart.

 

I'm wondering though, how many would look at this and blame his teammates for being a--holes to him.

Martin leaves Dolphins to deal with emotional issues

 

Source: Teammates bullied Martin

 

This is as odd a story as I've seen in a long time.

 

So what's your read?

 

Not as odd as the Te'o story. Not even close.

 

But, as to what I think about it? I think it's a horrible situation. I'm not sure whether Martin has some emotional issues, the team has gone beyond the boundaries of hazing (into bullying), or both. Either way, the Dolphins have not handled this situation well at all, starting with their coach and going on down.

 

I played organized sports at varying levels. I went to college. I know the types of things that are said when a few guys are together, much less 70+, but there is a limit. Everyone has boundaries. I think some of the players have pushed those boundaries, and it went too far. I think that the coaching staff needs to step in when enough is enough, along with the captains of the team.

 

Also, I'd really like to have Martin as a back-up... so...

I remember thinking "in the NFL" but apparently I didn't type it out :lol:

 

I'll give you that the Te'o story was weirder.

 

Whether or not I'd want Martin here is something I'd definitely have to think about.  Probably need more info as to what really happened.

If it's Incognito leading the charge, then your last question seems somewhat valid.

 

I'm also kind of interested if anything like this registered on any teams psychological profile of him during the draft process and also if it was a factor in his draft stock dropping from top 15 to 2nd round

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By blueandblackattack · Posted

      I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.

      I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
