Buccaneers: Doug Martin praise could be ploy to attract other teams

There is a famous quote from Shakespeare that goes like this, “Methinks thou dost protest too much”. It means that if you say something often enough, it stops being sincere because it simply isn’t true. Well, this guy believes that the Buccaneers may be applying this principle when they speak so highly about Doug Martin.

The praise has been coming from everywhere. Jason Licht said that Martin looks as good as he ever has. Here is what Dirk Koetter had to say about him (via Roy Cummings of Florida Football Insiders):

“Well, it’s hard for a running back to not look good when you’re going in shorts and nobody’s playing blocks, nobody’s on the ground,’’ Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said.
