ASKEW ON THE BUBBLE?

FB Jamar Martin (5-11, 244 pounds) could be a huge addition. Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer knows the value of a good blocking FB, because the coach worked with Pro Bowler Lorenzo Neal the past three seasons in San Diego.

Neal, a former Jet, is the premier blocking fullback in the league and has paved the way for fellow Pro Bowler LaDainian Tomlinson.

The move to bring in Martin, a three-year veteran, could mean trouble for starter B.J. Askew, who is more runner than blocker and has had a quiet camp.

Also, it doesn't bode well for Askew that rookie free-agent FB Stacy Tutt is working with the first team this week.

A true tragedy. A former Wolverina getting waived in favor of a Buckeye. :)

Nine Former Buckeyes In Arena Football
Nine former Ohio State football players, including three quarterbacks, are on Arena Football League rosters as AFL teams open training camp. The AFL's opening weekend is February 29 - March 3.

Among those who played at Ohio State are Columbus Destroyers? DL Winfield Garnett and New Orleans VooDoo WR/DB BJ Barre, who were both named to the 2007 All-Ironman Team. Garnett will be joined in 2008 by recently signed QB Justin Zwick. Former Buckeye QB Joe Germaine had a standout season in 2007 with the Utah Blaze, where he posted a team-high 5,005 pass yards and 107 passing touchdowns. Germaine also ran for a team-high six rushing touchdowns.

Other former Ohio State players on preseason AFL rosters include: Josh Huston (Cleveland), James Cotton (Columbus), Juan Porter (Grand Rapids), Jamar Martin (New York) and New Orleans VooDoo QB Steve Bellisari. In 2007, Bellisari led the VooDoo with a team-high 47 passing touchdowns and seven rushing touchdowns, as well as 2,287 passing yards in 307 attempts.

Football | 9/11: Buckeyes recall the day it all changed
Over years of football, Sept. 11 remains a vivid memory for 2001 team
Friday September 9, 2011

?Out of our routine?

The Sept. 11 terrorist attack led to the postponement of that week?s college games. The Buckeyes had been scheduled to play host to San Diego State. Instead, the game was moved to Oct. 20, an open Saturday.

?It was different just because we were out of our routine,? said Martin, a fullback and team captain in 2001. ?When you?re in college and playing a sport you get used to having practice, team meals, studies, class, and it was thrown off. But we (captains Steve Bellisari, Joe Cooper and Mike Collins) came together to make sure we stayed focused on the task at hand. We tried to make it as familiar as possible.?
