Message: [QUOTE="money3189, post: 2329800, member: 436"] So much more about the position than just tackling. Martin is still learning how to tackle coming from the safety position, no doubt but I will answer this in a way you can hopefully understand. You know how we are tops in the nation on 3rd down stops? Its because Martin allows us to run pressures underneath, which makes QB's throw when they dont want to or throw less accurate. We can't run zero coverages or zones behind our pressure packages with Ellison. His length and speed will kill us back there. Wr's will be running free through our secondary just like last year. Martin covers ground better and has the length to defend deep balls. Ellison would be good as a nickle corner but Butler beat him out there. [/QUOTE]
