Are you talking about the Panthers game, in which Martin looked terrible, or some preseason game? I'll have to watch that Panthers game again because I thought, as a whole, the team competed pretty well without several key players.
I agree with you completely. I am happy with what Martin did considering he had pretty much no offensive starters helping him out. I will never fault him, and I will always give him the utmost respect for getting his old butt up after every sack / hit.
