He'd fit in perfectly with the Rams.

Also, I think it's interesting for all of the saber-rattling internet experts saying, "they're strong football players, Martin should've whooped his ass!"

 

Let me ask you guys...  When you, AS GROWN MEN, have an issue with a co-worker, do you immediately "whoop their ass?"

 

I'm not a huge guy, but I had a rough childhood, so I trust myself to fare well in physical confrontations, whether it's delivering it or receiving it...  That being said, I DON'T desire to be in physical confrontations.  I choose to avoid them as much as possible.

 

Why? 

 

Outside of the obvious reasons, who would one want to incur any kind of unnecessary damage upon themselves?  AND in what world can you, as a grown man, get in a physical altercation and not suffer repercussions for it socially?  Especially if you "teach them a lesson" and truly beat their ass...  You most likely will catch charges.  Additionally, if you don't catch charges, you most likely will have some sort of stigmas attached to you as a result, with not all of them being good - "hot head" comes to mind. 

 

When we're talking about "everyday man" jobs, we would be fired if we fought someone else.  In the world of football, if Martin would've fought him, regardless of the outcome, the only thing that would come out would be that Martin is an unstable headcase and potential locker room problem, which likely would leave him underpaid or unemployed.

 

Could he have handled it differently and told Incognito to chill early on?  Absolutely.  But, these guys are human too, not just giant muscle-bound, meatheads...  Well, at least players not named Incognito.

A disservice is being done by labeling this as "bullying," save that term for children because it leads to the idiotic responses this thread is full of trying to blame Martin for being "bullied" as a grown man, because people picture juvenile things. What Incognito did is criminal extortion and harassment.

You guys got this all wrong

If Martin had a problem he shoulda settled it the old fashioned way, draw a circle in chalk in the stadium parking lot and put yer dukes up against the guy you have a problem with. Might makes right, that's why I turned out so great was because I did this in my formative years.

....you wanna arm wrestle? Let's go put so I can prove to you I can drink ya under tha table. 7 shots in 7 minutes. You can't do that then yer not a real man

on a note more relevant to the panthers, the dolphins have lost two starting offensive lineman on a line allowing the most sacks in the NFL in less than a week and we're playing them in a couple weeks

We'll manage half a sack.

that's fine. greg hardy said it best: your options are to get the ball out insanely fast and make a dumb read as a result of disguised coverage, or hang onto the ball and wait until you're sure and get hit by greg hardy.

 

the best thing the dolphins can do to counter us is quick strikes, but that was the falcons gameplan as well, and while they had some success with it, it also led directly two all three of matt ryan's interceptions.

The first 5 pages of this thread are so disgusting to read. Some of ya'll are worth less than nothing

Incognito was bullying and terrorizing a player, and being a racist f@'k head. I wish him and his inbred, racist, trash family nothing but the worst. In almost every situation there is that one guy who can't seem draw the line between what is and isn't socially acceptable, and it seems Incognito is that guy. I call it the Farva syndrome.

There is nothing wrong with making rookies pick up a meal tabs (even a 30k meal tab) or making them carry veterans pads. I dont know if y'all remember this but Dez Bryant was a huge puss when he was a rookie and refused to carry team members bags, so when it was his turn to pick up the meal tab the vets ran up a 60k tab. That is all fine as long as its a one time thing and nobody is gettting taking advantage of.

For people blaming Jonathon, there is a huge difference between being a huge puss(Dez Bryant) and being a victom of abuse.

The word I heard was Incog was trying to make him pay $15,000 for some kind of veteran jaunt that he wasn't able to go on.

He'd fit in perfectly with the Rams.

 

You do realize he already played for them prior to Miami and was released/cut.

[Mr. Scot]

You do realize he already played for them prior to Miami and was released/cut.

That was under Steve Spagnoulo. Jeff Fisher is in charge now.

Were you watching when we played them?

Do want Jonathan Martin if possible by the way. Many projected him as a 1st rounder only one year ago. Parents both went to Harvard, he went to Stanford, no dummy to say the least. How could he return to Miami? Do want.
