Martz has made a LB a 90+ catch receiver and Jon Kitna a 4,000+ yard tosser. Learn about the NFL and then get back to us.
Which linebacker do you speak of?
Mike Furrey.
Mike Furrey was a wide receiver at Northern Iowa. Never played a down on defense, let alone linebacker.
Switched to Safety prior to the 2005 season with the Rams due to depth issues.
Martz signed him as an UFA in 2006 when he became the Offensive Coordinator with Detroit and transitioned him back to Wide Receiver.
It should also be noted that Kitna attempted 596 passes that season.
Safety, linebacker... big deal. The point still stands, Martz can make players look very good. How many guys have had career years under him? On top of that, Knox, Hester, Bennet and Aroamashadu are better than any receivers we have on our lineup, minus Crabtree.
Point stands that he turned a life-long wide receiver, that got a shot at safety on a team with two pro-bowl WRs and depth at the position, into a 90 catch wide receiver? LOL
