I am really warming up to Ruvell Martin. It seems like all he does is make plays. With JJ hurt, and Jordy a rookie, I'd like to see them give Ruvell some more reps.
Anybody with me on this?

I like him were he is, he's not the fastest guy in the world but he has decent hands... JJ made a good catch yesterday, and is definitely a bigger threat in the slot...
I would like to see him out there more then the rookie though, it seems like he is #5 instead of #4 on the depth chart... -
Martin brings a couple of strengths over both Jones and Nelson, IMO.
First, he has excellent height. For the corner end zone type of "toss-up" pass, his height is an asset over the shorter defensive backs.
Second, he is a very good downfield blocker. His blocking is an advantage for screens, passes in the flat, etc.Comment

I say "If in ain't broke, don't fix it". Ruvell should saty where he is.Comment

In my opinion, what we have is working "just good enough". I always strive for excellence, so I'd rather give Martin his shot at glory.Originally posted by cpk1994Comment

Very good point. I didn't even consider his blocking and the potential positive ramifications this could have on the third down screens M3 likes to run to Jackson.Originally posted by oregonpackfanComment

Good point. A lot of people don't realize how much a good blocking wide out can help a running game. Turns 5 yard runs into 15 yard runs.Originally posted by oregonpackfanFred's Slacks is a Winner!Comment

Jordy Nelson is a much more fluid athlete than the other two guys, he is already doing fine out there.
Play Nelson as the #3, go for the upside.Comment

I don't care where they play him as long as they "get him the damn ball"

I've always like Martin. I like the tall guy in the End Zone
James Jones though looks like a stud...Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

I think he looks HUGE going over the middle...he will be a stud...sorry I should have clarified that

I don't see a big difference between Martin, Nelson, and Jones at this point. Martin does need more reps. I think James Jones will eventually prove to be the best of the lot though.70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.Comment

Can Ruvell play guard, tackle or center? Maybe defensive Lineman or defensive end? No? crap.Comment

I like our WR's just where they are. I was on board with moving Nelson up to #3 before the season began, but I'm fine with JJ as our #3 and Nelson as our #4. I'm okay with bringing in Martin on certain plays as the #3 or #4, such as 3rd and medium or RZ attempts, but I don't think he should be lining up as a #3 or #4 on a regular basis.Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment
