Why do you think so? I could see him dominating in the same role as Bruce Carter did in Dallas. The problem is though, that leaves Hawthorne without a starting job.
Hawthorne will be given another year. Saw the saints taking a peek @ Zavier Gooden. We can get him in the late round allowing him to come in and compete with Hawthorne for the WILB position. Kid can play special teams and will probably run a 4.44 in the 40.
I have more confindence in Martez to play OLB now with Rob Ryan coming in and coaching them up. Much like Spencer benefited i think Martez will do the same.
Contray to popular belief Rob Ryan does not run a 1 gap system. In Granthams system i compared Martez to Alex Ogletree. Which was why i saw him as a better fit @ WILB. With Ryan i see Martez best fit as a SOLB.
