Mike Martz hired by the Lions as OC

[JackTalkThai]

This is a shocker! I thought that once they cut ties last week that that was it. I wonder who made the concessions here?! I'm glad to see it get done though.

Marinelli
Henderson
Martz

I like the aggressiveness of that trio of coaches. [smilie=2thumbsup.g:

I guess we'll get to see how much of a "genius" this guy really is now.

Great hire. Weird process, but great result.

First off, I FEEEEEEL IT!

If they hire Martz, it inflates Lions WR fantasy draft positions by 2 rounds.

And it will deflate Kevin Jones' value by about 2 rounds.

H1, how do you figure? Marshall Faulk's value under Martz was pretty high. I know Jones can't catch the ball the Faulk, but the cat can run.

Under Martz-
1999-253 car, 1381 yds, 7 TD, 87 rec, 1048 yds, 5 TD
2000-253 car, 1359 yds, 18 TD, 81 rec, 830 yds, 8 TD
2001-260 car, 1382 yds, 12 TD, 83 rec, 765 yds, 9 TD
(getting old now)
2002-212 car, 953 yds, 8 TD, 80 rec, 537 yds, 2 TD
2003-209 car, 818 yds, 10 TD, 45 rec, 290 yds, 1 TD
2004-195 car, 774 yds, 3 TD, 50 rec, 310 yds, 1 TD
(Steven Jackson)
2005-254 car, 1046 yds, 8 TD, 43 rec, 320 yds, 2 TD

I think Jones will put up big numbers and we won't be as frustrated with the offense next yeat because at least we'll be aggressive and will be running "cool" plays.

Cornbread Alert
This offense could be scary good if can perform slightly better than undrafted Ivy Leaguer, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Oh......wait.....I forgot about the offensive line.

We can save about 8 mil by cutting so I think he's gone. So forget about that.

But yeah, there might be a small drop off from Orlando Pace to Jeff Backus.

LOL@Martz. Next year is going to be a clash of egos. I can't wait when we lose 5 in a row and the fingers start get pointed ever. Roddy and Mikey will be going at each other on the sideline .
