He still has that midfielder mindset. It helps a ton on the offensive side to have your RB be your best crosser, but I don’t think his style of play at the fullback position would even remotely work for a style of play that wasn’t Vermes high press. He doesn’t have the speed to make up for these mistakes and unfortunately he doesn’t have Opara’s speed back there anymore to mask it and it’s definitely a glaring weakness on our team now. I want to see more Jaylin Lindsey personally. Martins has been a bright spot since finally being able to upgrade that LB spot from the most JAG MLS player Seth Sinovic. We really don’t have much depth at fullback unfortunately, but neither do most MLS teams.
