JB: QB Adrian Martinez. No. 2 QB Tyrod Taylor has been out since a “minor scope” of his knee early this month. And with No. 1 Justin Fields playing three series (before Friday night’s preseason finale against the Eagles), Martinez and rookie Brady Cook have been taking the lion’s share of snaps in games while also getting reps in practice. Although Martinez has never taken a regular season snap in the NFL, the dude is no slouch. After being waived by Detroit in August 2023, Martinez, 25, landed with the Birmingham Stallions of the UFL and was named to the 2024 All-UFL team, the league MVP and the MVP of the title game, won by the Stallions when he passed for TD and ran for 2 more. In 10 games he completed 134-of-229 passes (58.5%) for 1,748 yards and 15 TDs (3 INT). He also ran 54 times for 528 yards (9.7 per) and 3 TDs. He spent last season on the Jets’ practice squad. In the current preseason, Martinez has seen the most action of the Green & White’s QBs, hitting on 23-of-37 attempts (62.2%) for 226 yards and has run twice for 13 yards. For Martinez and dozens of other players, the time is now.

SW: With roster cuts looming, I’m looking at some undrafted free agents that will be fighting for a spot and looking to make their last impression in game action. My pick for who can help himself the most vs. the Eagles out of that group is UDFA S Dean Clark. The Fresno State graduate had a solid training camp, but he made his biggest impression during last week’s preseason game vs. the Giants. Clark led the team with 6 total tackles, and he recorded a sack of QB Jameis Winston for a 9-yard loss on third down in the red zone. Just two plays later, Clark intercepted a Winston pass intended for Giants receiver Juice Wells Jr. near the goal line. Clark played 48 defensive snaps, the most on the team, and he also played 12 snaps on special teams, which is something to keep an eye on as he looks to make his case for a spot. Consistency goes a long way when it comes to roster decisions, so if the undrafted free agent can have another standout performance and deliver some big plays in his second consecutive contest, he could make a sneaky push for a spot on the initial 53-man roster.
