Doug Martin believes he's finally hitting his stride as an NFL running back after a slow start because the "game is slowing down for me." We noticed Martin not hitting the hole with confidence and generally playing tentatively and sluggishly in the first four games. He's been on an absolute tear in the past four. "It comes with being more comfortable with the offense," Martin said. "The game is slowing down for me, and just being more decisive in my decision making, which hole to hit and how fast I need to hit it. Overall, it's just clicking." ESPN's Merril Hoge called Martin, "As a complete a back as I've seen. There's not a down you have to take him out."

cmon Martin lets get it together. yea, you did ok on the ground but only 21 rec yards, pathetic!!! (end sarcastic font)

btw something that I haven't heard too many (if any) people mention. Doug Martin has one helluva stiff arm.

p.s. Lagarrette Blount (not Martin) is my new fav player. His fumble caused a Raiders TD (which went to my TE) and then the Bucs had to answer with another Dougie TD. Nice job Blount!!! your ineptitude gave me two extra TD's.
