Gotta love the guys at the Ticket

they have Marty B on every Tuesday for 10 minutes or so. They usually have the audio clip on their site afterward.

Bears in the woods.

Man, I love that line. Get better and keep on trucking Bennet. You are the best TE to not get any recognition in the league.

Based on my experience

The bear doesn’t crap in the woods, two weeks ago there was bear scat (poop) on the road in front of my house. The next day the newspaper said there were bear sightings and that you should keep small pets and bird feeders inside.

On the Play With Colombo outside of Flo

Is Flo at the guard position and Colombo playing left tackle? Davis pulling with a head of steam is awesome. Makes me wonder what might happen if we put Holland or Proctor at fullback and ran this same play.

it’s an unbalanced line. Systematically speaking, flozell is still LT and kosier is still LG. Columbo will effectively take the TE spot covering the inside gap “5” and his outside gap “7”. MartyB effectively becomes the RT.
Some defenses, to keep it balanced, will shift their gap alignments down to the strong side.

They ran Colombo next to Flo early in the Giants' game, too.

I think it was on a MB3 run.

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles...

Almost unstoppable in short yardage

See that the backside LB can’t get to the hole quick enough to pull TC down. Smart design that Marty has an option to choose the ‘immediate threat’, whether the DE or blitzing LB. If there was a handoff instead of direct snap to the RB(Razorback?), the unblocked defender might get to him in time.

Another good play structure was on the 2nd Bubble Screen to O’Tree. Notice the left side of the line pulls and flows left, basically taking away that side of the D with misdirection. When Tree gets the ball, they’ve got to scramble to get back in the play. I like he also steps forward before coming back for the pass, it sells the possibility of a down-field pattern.

Note: No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced

Nice to see MartyB take pride in his blocking.

Witten just makes it look too easy, but I think MartyB is too talented not to make an impact receiving eventually.
