The new head coach, of course, is last year's offensive coordinator, Dirk Koetter. The new OC is former Southern Miss Head Coach Todd Monken, who will help enhance what Koetter has built, not replace it. Left guard will indeed see a transition from retired Pro Bowler Logan Mankins to free agency addition J.R. Sweezy, but Sweezy's strong run-blocking skills should only make things better for Martin. Most importantly, the playbook is the same as last year, and that's a critical development – or lack of development – for the NFL's second-leading rusher in 2015.
"I’ve been through about two to three new playbooks [in my career], so it feels good to come in and not have to learn a whole new playbook and it’s good to have that continuity," said Martin.
