Zach just went out with a leg injury. Didn’t look good. He wasn’t putting much, if any, weight on it going off the field.

Probably done for the season:

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...oys-guard-zack-martin-done-season-calf-injury

A shame becasue he was having a real solid year for the awful cowboys and was probably certainly looking at another all pro/pro bowl honors.

Mike McGlinchey is having a real solid year, maybe he could join Nelson this year in the Oline awards haul to continue the Oline U dominance.

Not an online guy, but Harrison smith secured a crucial pick yesterday in Overtime, his 4th of the year. Hopefully, he can snag another All Pro honors this year, as he has been robbed in the past (only has a single 1rst and 2nd team nod in his career).

Zack's brother yesterday had a key snap too that helped the Colts to victory. Had Fuller been in that game then the Colts wouldn't have had the lead anyways.

Zack was just named to his eighth Pro Bowl. He would have had nine if he hadn't missed almost half of the 2020 season.

Eight selections in nine years.
More Pro Bowl selections than holding penalties during his entire professional career. He's obviously a stone cold lock to be a 1st ballot HOFer, but that sort of stat should put him in contention to be the on GOAT NFL OL team.

I haven’t watched the Colts in a couple years,… how is his counterpart Nelson doing in this regard??

Only took them a decade to get it right lol. They need X-Factor O-Line too. It's the only position that you can't attain it in as far as I know, besides maybe Special Teams.

He’s also threatening to hold out unless he gets paid. I personally hope they trade him.

Yup, may be better for him. Prescott is possibly at best the #3 QB in that division behind Hurts and Daniel Jones now. Statistically speaking Jones had less scores, but more yards and a better QBR, and a better TD/INT ratio. Prescott was barely better than Taylor Heinicke for the Commanders. Prescott is never going to win them a Super Bowl.

You are high if you think Heinicke is close to Dak. Even saying he’s 3rd in the division is laughable. And I ain’t even a Cowboys fan.

As a Cowboys fan, I hate you for saying this.

No, but Daniel Jones earned that new paycheck and played better than Prescott statistically while having a worse OL and no CeeDee Lamb to throw to. Prescott certainly isn't better than Hurts right now. He's at best #2 and very possibly #3 in that division. Dak has never proved himself to be the guy to get Dallas back to the big dance. He's had some of the best OLs over his career, great RB(s) and occasionally good receivers, but he's dropped the ball in big games.

I trust the Athletic NFL guys (Robert Mays and Nate Tice) a hell of a lot more than laymen and they both rate Dak a lot higher than Danny Dimes and one of them has Dak above Hurts.

Criminal that ZMart isn't number one paid guard in football --- maybe even number one paid OLineman, even the tackles. At ND the announcer called him the "Eraser" and he still is. What a superstud. I'm big on honoring the oldtimers in these "greatest players" lists, but I make an exception for ZMart on NDs alltime greatest lineup. And as said, he's surefire NFL Hall of Fame. As to the Cowboys: that organization can eat sh!t on this topic. NO sympathy or them whatever.

Unfortunately for most athlete's they don't get re-evaluated yearly for their pay.

Z-Mart signed his market setting 6 year deal in '18. He could have signed for less years giving himself an option for higher pay in '22 and later.

He's 32 and there isn't a lot of precedent for elite iol play post 30. Sometimes, tough shit you play for the contract you chose to sign.

Unfortunately, this is the way it be. Can't be signing megadeals for multiple years and then cry about needing a bigger paycheck. Honor the deal you made...you make plenty in an industry that doesn't matter. It's entertainment.

All sorts of great players renegotiate contracts. I choose to support one of my and NDs favorite guys.

... AND great OLinemen, unlike RBs, usually last for a very long time. He likely has many good years left.
