re: Misconception about Ronald Martin

Sometimes people have less passes defended because they are that good at coverage. Just saying!

A Pass Defended is when a DB causes an incomplete pass through anyway legally possible (knock the ball down, INT, hit the defender as he gets the ball in his hands, etc), its a diff stat than a pass break up. Sure, some guys are so good on D that the other team just doesnt even throw their way. We dont have anyone like that. White is our best CB, but teams dont avoid going his way.

I hate when the word elite is just thrown around so loosely.

Never have met Martin/not related, not from his hometown or anything like that. Some of it is warranted, hes made some mistakes. I said that in my OP. But he gets a lot of shite and most of it just isnt warranted based on his play this year. Last season, it was a diff story. But hes been solid this year.

I think Jamal Adams is still better

Jamal WILL be better.

He is just inconsistent

Everyone on our D is inconsistent this year, except Kwon and Tre White.

Only team worth anything is Miss St.... We think, and he didn't look great in that game.

Who, besides Kwon, looked good in that game on D? Oh and Martin had 13 tackles (2nd that game), 1 FF, and 1 PBU (tied for 1st in both).

The Ole Miss game did it for me

In my OP:"Some people almost rollover the season he had last year and wont allow their perception of Martin to change because of what he did last year." Point proven.
