Bears/Cowboys game on right now in the bay area and Troy Aikman said Mike Martz told him that he's never had a tight end run like Greg Olsen. Wow...Mike Martz had Vernon Davis for a year, the fastest tight end in football. I really hope he meant Olsen's route running, but I doubt it since that comment was made on Olsen's short catch and long TD run up the middle of the field.
I am just floored by that comment from Martz.
This may be blasphemy on this board, but Davis is not a shifty runner. He gets tackled easily too. VD is a great player, but he is not dominant. Maybe if he had a better QB, but let's not assume that every coach has to think that Davis is the best they have ever coached.
A debate can be had by what he meant by "runs," but I interpreted that to mean speed, but yes he could have meant shiftiness in a tight end except that comment was made when Olsen took a short pass and ran 35 yd down the field.
We saw what Vernon can do last year and the fact Martz never used him at all was weird.
Gotcha. If the comment was about straight ahead speed, clearly Martz is nuts. Do you agree that VD is easy to tackle? It is kind of odd considering his physicality.

Coaches say that everywhere they go. So what? He just wants to build up his guy. It happens all the time all around the NFL.

Maybe it has to do with him never seeing VD run BECAUSE HE ALWAYS HAD HIM BLOCK!

Yeah, Romo would never through behind his main receiver and cause an INT.
Oh.....WAIT.....

Who cares what Martz says anymore? The dude is the most overrated "offensive" coach in the NFL. He had 4 sure hall of famers with the Lambs, damn near 5, if you count Holt, and hasn't done squat since then. All he does is lose and get QB's annihilated. Weekly. Remember, he was fired from SL, Detroit, AND SF. Not exactly "winning" teams, you know.

BFD, that is nothing but coach speak. Do you think he would go tell his players they all suck, and they are the worst bunch he has ever coached? He is just building up his players. Would you guys rather have Martz or Raye?

Looks like Martz isn't the only one talking out his ass.
