by CypherSimile | 10 years ago | 0 Comments
HB Doug Martin made his contract negotiations a little more interesting with his latest performance against the Washington Redskins. The star back rushed for 137 yards on 19 carries and added two touchdowns to the mix. "I'm just out here tryna get it ya bish! Show me the money!" Said the tail back after being asked about his motivation today. He is reportedly asking for 6 years 50M but the team is concerned about giving him that type of money due to "character concerns".
"We are going to be more balanced than I thought coming into the year. Its okay though, as long as we win games then who cares" said Coach Cypher Simile postgame after QB Mike Glennon had another underwhelming passing day.
The defense held firm against the Redskins as they were held to 218 yards of total offense and received 80 of those yards in garbage time as QB Robert Griffin lll hit WR Desean Jackson for an 80 yard strike in the middle of the 4th.
Notes:
Rookie LE Devonta Hardy recorded 2 more QB tackles and is now leading the league with 7 through just 3 games.
TE Julius Thomas was held to just 1 catch on the day and was not happy. "I want to be more involved. Feed me the rock!"
ROLB Lavonte David registered his first INT on the year.
In week 4, the 2-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel to Jacksonville to take on the 0-2* Jaguars.
