He was running to his left and he stumbled, and I hit him with my shoulder and my helmet, and Dick Modzelewski hit him, too. Jim got up and went back to the huddle, but he didn\u2019t know where he was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were trying to tell [Browns coach] Paul Brown to get Jim out of there before he really got hurt. When they heard us, they took him out. But what a runner he was, what a player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blake Martinez would have relished the challenge, because he is The Tackling Machine, and headed his way on Sunday night is the Browns\u2019 two-headed monster of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt and an offense that lives for running the ball down a defense\u2019s throat.<\/p>\n<p>And The Tackling Machine says:<\/p>\n<p>Bring it on!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a middle linebacker\u2019s dream to play in a game like this,\u201d Martinez told The Post, \u201cobviously to play against that type of competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s gonna be kind of that old-school type of football. It\u2019ll be fun, and I can\u2019t wait for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Browns boast the third-best rushing attack. Chubb (881 yards) averages 5.9 yards per carry with nine touchdowns.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Giants\" class=\"wp-image-16868530 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/111520Giants077CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/111520Giants077CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/111520Giants077CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/111520Giants077CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/111520Giants077CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Blake Martinez comes up with a tackle for the Giants.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Charles Wenzelberg\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s an elite player,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cHe\u2019s a guy that\u2019s able to break a lot of tackles, pretty much need 11 guys on defense to take him down it seems like \u2026 extreme athleticism \u2026 just finds a way to somehow find an opening in the defense every time, and then, if he doesn\u2019t find opening in the defense, he always gets 6 or 7 yards falling forward or carrying guys. Really a complete, overall back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martinez likens him to Derrick Henry: \u201cThat kind of ability to break free of arm tackles and make those big home run plays, and if he doesn\u2019t, he\u2019s still getting those 5-plus yards every carry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunt (772 yards) averages 4.4 yards with five TDs, and is more of a security blanket (32-252-5 TDs receiving) for Baker Mayfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKind of a different animal,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cHe\u2019s an amazing kind of pass-catching back, really good at bouncing outside, making people miss, doing kind of everything that they need to as well when he is in, but it\u2019s just a different aspect of it. And just extreme athleticism as well to make plays, follow his blockers, be patient, and when it does come to getting through the hole, he kind of has that same aspect as Chubb where he\u2019s hitting guys, falling forward and making the extra yard after contact.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-megaphone\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=ADL4073928516&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The Tackling Machine is counting on his defensive linemen to keep him free enough to do his thing. He is tied for fourth with 118 tackles, nine behind league leader Zach Cunningham of the Texans. Following back-to-back 144-tackle seasons, Martinez notched a career-high 155 last season with the Packers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I\u2019ve played football growing up, I\u2019ve always loved the physicality portion to be able to tackle and hit people,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m weird for that, like I\u2019ve never really cared too much about touchdowns, I only cared about being on a defensive side and trying to hit people as hard as I could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tackling Machine <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciates the Hog Mollies in the trenches. He presented them on Wednesday with customized Tumi bags with their initials on them and the new Xbox for Christmas. Asked what they got for him, Martinez said: \u201cA lot of tackles,\u201d and laughed.<\/p>\n<p>The former Stanford Tackling Machine could have played in any era. He has started every game for the past four years. He is more than an old-school throwback, however. He is the quarterback of the defense, who will be matching wits with an emerging Mayfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI consider myself like an adaptable player,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cI understand what I need to do in all aspects, and then depending on the given situations, whatever team we play, whether it\u2019s Kyler Murray one week or Nick Chubb the next week, you know exactly where you need to be, how you need to play it for those given situations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tackling Machine played four games with the Packers against the Vikings when current Browns coach Kevin Stefanski was the offensive coordinator in Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been watching film, I start to kind of recognize, \u2018Oh yeah, I remember going against that play or this play, this type of scheme, that type of formation,\u2019 certain things that they did,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cBut I think when it really comes down, just figuring out the certain people that they have on the offensive side that is different compared to the Minnesota personnel that kind of makes them more unique, I guess, in that aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tackling Machine loves playing on national television.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone\u2019s watching, you have the ability to showcase yourself, showcase your team and go out there and kind of just show what you\u2019ve been working for this whole year,\u201d Martinez said.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your eyes on No. 54. The Tackling Machine will be where the football is.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
