NY Post: Blake Martinez already loves these new look Giants - ( New Window )

Fourth-round pick OLB Elerson Smith: “I call him ‘Gumby.’ He’s like 7-foot-9, but he can move like a gymnast out there. It’s the same thing as Azeez. Once both of those guys get it and they click for ’em, they’re gonna be a scary duo.”
I was very lukewarm about the Martinez signing.

For all of his tackles, I really didn't rate him that much higher than the David Mayos of the world.

Well, I've been wrong before...

I read a preseason article last year that went in to detail about how bad GB's defensive coordinators were and how completely misused him.

So another feather in the Graham's cap; he builds around players' strengths and doesn't force players to adapt to his scheme.

I was hoping the Giants would sign a different ILB, either Corey Littleton or Nick Kwiatkoski (who both signed with the Raiders).

Kwiatkowski at the time as well. I’ve been really impressed with Martinez. He’s also probably my favorite interview on the Giants— he always has great insight and funny anecdotes.

Did you want Kwiatkowski because it sounds like Modzelewski?

Me too! I figured he'd be a guy who racked up tackles made several yards past where they should have been and couldn't keep up with anyone in coverage.
