[CBFF] Martz in wide-ranging interview

[Jim Ferolie]

Wow, this is a fresh perspective. I have long preferred Hester up the middle, changing directions, put in odd matchups that make him impossible to stop. About time someone decided that was worth trying more often -- and not forcing him on the field for 60 snaps. Randy Moss in his rookie year... I love it. 

And Bennett and Aromashodu as 1 and 2, with Knox filling in at ANY of those three positions, bringing energy and keeping people fresh like a sixth man. I love it some more.

Whether Olsen is trade bait or not, that certainly puts the impetus on him to be a more consistent blocker. I have seen hiim block well, it's just that more often than not he does a sloppy job so he can get downfield more quickly. Thank god someone will put a stop to that.

    On Devin Hester:

    "We're going to use him like we used Az Hakim [in St. Louis]. Devin Hester in that role could be stupid good if that makes sense to you. What we could do with him inside, the matchups you can get with him on third cornerbacks, safeties and linebackers in some of their defensive schemes would be remarkable. What might be hard for us --- and we haven't talked about it so I might be out of line on this --- but it would be very difficult for him to take every snap at wide receiver and play at a high level on special teams. We need to look at that I think. There are things we need to talk about. The role I have in mind would allow him to do both and do both on a high level."


  I'm in love with Martz already.

   
    On Greg Olsen and the tight end position:

    "He's a different tight end than I've had in the past but all tight ends now, their first responsibility is they have to be able to put their hand on the line of scrimmage and be a successful blocker. They have to be able to do that job and do it well and then move into [being a] receiver. To just skip by that and say, 'OK, he's a terrific receiver,' well, you may as well put another receiver in there."



  Wow. Greg Olsen=trade bait?
