Next 4 Games

remember this is his first year as a OL and a center. he might just still be trying to do to much instead of letting the game come to him. he'll be fine once the game slows down for him more.

I think he's incredibly naturally strong. When he gets another year of lifting under him and is also someday surrounded by the likes of Banks, Benhart, & Corcoran he/our line is going to be great.

 
The snaps have to improve if we're going to win the next four games. I'm pretty surprised that we're still seeing those.
If Martinez is standing back there pre-snap wondering if the ball is going to get to him fine or fly over his head its a major problem, IMO.  Jumping for the ball when he doesn't need to means he is anticipating it, that's not where his head needs to be before every play,   nervous.  

 
I remember seeing bad snaps in the spring game and assuming they would get it fixed during fall camp.


IMO it's a mental thing as much as physical at this point. It's not just needing more reps at center, he's got a case of the yips that needs to be processed through. If he starts snapping poorly again I would pull him for a series or two, calm him down and let him practice snaps on the sidelines a bit. Then give him another shot. Don't think just leaving him in there when his snaps are bad is doing him or the team any favors.
