Is the quarterback he sacked still alive? You know, Martin Smash, just sayin'

Mike Martin only non-hyperlinked name in the box score ....
NO RESPECT.

Has he gotten into an NFL game?

I believe Mouton played at some point (i.e., did not start) in all of the Chargers' preseason games this year, but he has yet to see the field in the regular season this year.

Didn't he get hurt last year? Seems tough for anybody who isn't able to get their feet wet right away and hit the ground running to battle back for an NFL roster spot (much less a starting position) with so many guys and so few opportunities.

Yeah, he injured his shoulder at the end of the preseason and eventually ended up on IR in September 2011 when it wasn't healing. If I am not mistaken, he would be battling David Butler or Takeo Spikes for an ILB spot if he stays healthy.

My obsession with Michigan football is such that I left the kitchen and ran into the living room to watch Titan highlights, for the sole purpose of seeing a glimpse of Martin.
I watched te Eagles game for longer than I should have for a similar reason, but sadly saw no appearance by Brandon Graham. However it appears he did get in and make a tackle. Knee surgery still having some effect, apparently.

He started this week for sure (my fiancé is a titans fan so we were streaming it). Don't know about last week or going forward but he was in a bunch game 1 if he didn't start that one too.

I can't stand the Eagles, but my son had the game on the radio. Graham was mentioned favorably be the announcers. He was in on a couple of run stops.

So far he's outproduced the 6 DTs taken in the draft ahead of him. Michael Brockers has yet to play due to an injury, though. Only the Eagles Fletcher Cox comes close with 7 total tackles, and 1 sack. Martin was a steal in the 3rd round.

Re: Mike Martin
To Whom it May Concern:
I'm sorry but we are NOT buying this obvious fabrication about a sack or some other such nonsense from this Martin character. We, who are paid well to make these decisions, spent countless hours looking at and then subsequently ignoring game film so that we could make an intellegent and well-thought out recommendation on Mr Martin based on the one variable we know means everything to future NFL success. And if the player doesnt have it then he just isnt going to make it - actual performance be damned. And unfortunately Mr. Martin does NOT have it so no way could this "sack" have actually occured.
Arm length.
NIce try anyways. Next thing you know you crazy jokers are going to try and sell a 6th round draft pick QB who couldnt even keep his back-up on the bench in college as a future HOF member!

...his girlfriend is a six, at best.

...needs to go see Moneyball.

I'll be watching him live on the 30th at Reliant Stadium. Unfortunately I will have to root for my team to smash his, much the same way they did Jake Long's this year.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:18 PM ^
Just as long as he doesn't get any sacks next weekend.

I hope it didn't come against Molk. Other than that, way to go MM!!!!
