The Genius

The Genius He was sentenced to 2 Super Bowls. He is considered an offensive genius. His team is a perennial playoff aspirants. He is also one of the greatest coaches in the NFL. A contradiction? If not? Mike S Martz.After Dick vermeil retired after the 1999 season, the Rams have decided to extend the mandate for their brilliant offensive coordinator, Mike Martz. As was his system, gave the Rams the best offensive in the NFL. Or so the thinking. Although a good offensive coordinator, Mike Martz never a good coach. E 'a poor talent evaluator, with a litany of miscues, including a draft Trung Candidate, Damione Lewis, and Robert Thomas. In fact, the best player Martz has in 5 years (excluding the 2005) is Adam Archuleta, a decent safety. Steven Jackson could be a very good player at some point on the road, but hasn? T showed a lot at this point. Contrast with the Rams 1999 draft class that also Dré Bly and Torry Holt, 2 Pro Bowler. In a project brought to light more than red Pro Bowler Mike Martz was in 5th In fact, all the standout players on the Rams, Mike Martz during the Vermeil.Torry Holt, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, Az-Zahir Hakim, Leonard Little, Grant Wistrom, Orlando Pace, Jeff Wilkins, Kurt Waer, and Adam Timmerman among other things, were all drafted or otherwise acquired Dick vermeil, Mike Martz is not. True, under Mike Martz, this is a good team. But with the talent of this group in 2000, should have more than one Super Bowl. In 1999 the Rams had 6 Pro Bowler. This is an incredible number, and reflects the incredible amount of talent they had after the 1999 Super Bowl win. In 2000, the Rams have 4 Pro Bowl offensive to show everyone that the Rams offensive core is still in its first and it can produce. In 2001, the Rams had 5 Pro Bowler, once the level of talent in the team. I could continue, but that is sufficient to show that the Rams had incredible talent for the Mike Martz years. The same level of talent that in 1999 they had over the years 2000 and 2001. But it has never been another Super Bowl. At least part of the blame for this, so Mike Martz.In 1999, the Rams had the number one scoring drive in the championship and fourth place of the defense, which led to a 13-3 record. The following year, the Rams for first place in the ranking of the 31 Place in offense and defense, leading to a record 10-6. Ranks 31st Defense in place, even if he does not lose any key personnel defense. This may, at least in part, because of Mike Martz? S rose to head coach. He? S Guy first insult; defense is not only important for him. In fact, his defenses have placed in top 10 only once during his reign, even if given one of the main defenses of NFL.Now leave? Dick vermeil if S? S offenses suffered without the services of Mike Martz. In its first year, vermilion inherited the 9th Rank scoring offensive. As the player losses, the offensive was 16 Place of next year. After a year of reconstruction, the offensive team was in first place, on the one hand, and secondly in the following years. So successful was the vermilion Rams offensive? S Martz or do? S? Basically, Mike Martz was able to have a good team, because of the incredible talent base he inherited. He has not been formulated clearly, so can not retu to clear his field of talent. Within a few years, when the former core players start to retire, his team starts to fall apart. You can only take someone else? S coattails for so long. Sooner or later, Mike Martz will be exposed for what it is: a good offensive coordinator, is simply not intersect as head coach. I only wish that someone would have realized this earlier, with the core of the Rams had, they could have won 2 more Super Bowls.Vikas Paruchuri is a sports columnist writes about the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB.
