atljbo Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Cowboys released OL James Marten.Marten, the Cowboys' third-round pick in 2007, gets the boot to make room for wide receiver Mike Jefferson.I really like this guy.....Dallas will try to sign him to their practice squad........This guy is worth a look.......I wanted the falcons to draft James Martin in 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atljbo Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 He blocked for Matt Ryan - went to BC. I like the idea...Yup....no lie.....James Martin plays with a ruthless aggression like Harvey Dehl..... I like James Martin as a guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atljbo Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 I loved him outta BC.. Dont know whats wrong wit him but he was a big prospect. Figuratively and literally.They cut him because they needed to sign another WR....the cowboys WR group is not looking good...... But yea....if Martin clear waivers.... The cowboys will sign him to their practice squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Fanatic Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Marten would be a good addition to the team. Cutting Adam Jennings and adding Marten would be a great move since Jennings is just taking up a good roster space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanFalconMan Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 If we were to get a guy like Marten, why not get rid of Ojinakka? What has Ojinakka shown that has value to this team? We already have a lineman backing up for every position on the line. Ojinakka is listed as the back up left tackle as of now. I really don't think he is a good left tackle at all. I think he can play right tackle and right guard decent. James Marten is said to have size, nasty attitude and good technique and footwork. i would like to see what Marten brings to table.

millenium falcon Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 he's ok, i was hoping they would cut doug free. james martin did look good in the senior bowl if i remember right though. the problem is if we sign him we would need to cut ojinakka or wilkerson and even though i've been wanting an upgrade over ojinakka for some time we would have nobody to back up baker. stepanovich is hurt i guess which is why we kept 3 OC's. if step is recovered well enough to play if need be i would love to pick up martin in exchange for wilkerson. ojinakka can play LT and LG. i hope we draft a legit back up LT next year in rd 3 or 4.

Plus he is a solid 3rd rounder who Dallas is trying to sneak onto their PS the day before everyone plays their first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporkdevil Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I thought I had heard this earlier, but it turns out it is true.Marten was claimed by Oakland. Apparently Chicago tried to pick him up as well.http://www.kffl.com/player/16263/nfl/news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
