Martin has definitely started slowing down. He started showing that a couple years ago. He hasnt had a real big decline but it has been noticable. But that just means that instead of rushing for 14 or 1500 yards he is rushing for 1000, or 1100, lol. It is definitely a tough situation to be in for a young RB trying to prove himself in the league. I think if he came to Oakland and proved to be that much better than the guys we have that he would get exactly what he wants. But in order to be the main guy he would HAVE to seperate himself from Wheat and Fargas, and Zeroue and show the coaches that he is capable of a star RB role. He certainly wouldnt be brought in and handed the starting role from day one.
