While Colvin may be an outside possibility here  -   it looks like Martin will take over at nickel - at least in the short term. 

 

Martin was behind Evans at FS on the depth chart prior to this news.

<p style="font-size:26px;">With W. Blackmon out, Sherrod Martin said he's moved from back-up to nickel CB. #Jaguars


 

 

Colvin is clearly in the plans to get on the field this year, but there's no real rush. 

This should be interesting.   :yes:  I like Martin and think he could be a good rotational guy to have around.  I hope we see him play well when given the chance this week.

When have you seen Martin play?

Edit. Wrong guy.

I thought he was decent in Carolina.

I hope he can play well at the nickel position considering he has had multiple major knee injuries/surgeries, if I recall correctly.

 

There is A LOT more cutting and planting, which can take a toll on the knees, in the slot.

Yeah, I share the same thoughts... He was a pretty good player at the FS position as a Panther.

I was wondering, were you think of Craig Loston?

I forgot about him. Is he a cornerback or safety?

Yes I was. I got way off on that one.

Former 2nd round pick.  Hopefully he is an upgrade

Hope he works out...

(after digging around a bit)  Martin played some nickel in his rookie year (2009)  and had 3 INTs and a FF to show for it.  He was known as a speedy player before the ACL injury in 2012. Not sure how much it affected his speed and cutting ability.

 He obviously has a tough time bouncing back since he was out of the league in 2013 and couldn't stick with us after camp.
