To continue a theme from various M sites…I find it less than encouraging that our starting middle linebacker, all-conference nose tackle have only 3 helmet stickers. This is less than Craig Roh, who didn’t record a tackle into what the third game.

@Matt
I’m not sure if that’s a comment on the performance of Mike Martin, or on helmet sticker selection process. On the latter, keep in mind that we’re rewarding some unique and high profile plays. It’s not necessarily a tally of one guy’s worth to this team –Molk has as many decals as Ron English right now :)

also too bad our “Best” Corner, Mr. Woolfolk is a no show here…..

I realize the helmet stickers are not indicative of game performance per se. Mike plays a difficult position from which to acquire the sensational unique plays that would rack up stickers. I think he has been playing really good ball this year. It is not fair to criticize him given what is being asked of him. I would like to see more impact plays out of Kenny though. I am hopping as he becomes more comfortable in the defense we start to see him flourish.
Good point on Molk and Ron English.
As for Troy, he has been playing hurt all year. Correct me if I am wrong, but he hasn’t played an entire game all year. I actually doubt that he has played an entire half. I think he has put forth tremendous effort and shown courage for playing hurt. I can’t come down on him for giving it his all but just not being able to play to the standard we hoped he would.

At this point im thinking that Woolfolk may not be as good as we all had hoped. I know he’s had injuries, but it isn’t like he showed much in the years before the injury. I love his dedication and leadership, but at this point I’m wondering if the reason he looked so good in 2009 was because everyone else in our decimated secondary was pretty awful.
Matt
@ Teddy I am sure there is some inflated expectations based on our comparison of him to the other players from 09-10. I know I had some. But being realistic, he was never going to be Charles Woodson, but most thought he would be a good Big Ten Corner. I think he can be if he can only get healthy. Here’s hoping that he gets some much needed rest and treatment over the next two weeks. It might be nice to sit him for the Purdue game as well. It may depend on whether Marve or Terbush is the starting qb.

If he has a bum ankle, I’m afraid that that might not get much better. Two weeks might not be enough recuperation time.
