well make the decision not just at running back but at every position the last time charles sims took a snap on special teams was in week 5 of last year and that one snap was the only time hes ever taken a snap on special teams in his three seasons with the bucs including the preseason when koetter was asked what sims specific responsibilities are with special teams he responded im really not going to get into that today because it really doesnt matter according to the player participation chart provided after every game barber has played significantly on special teams averaging 60 percent of snaps the last three games im trying to put the bucs in the best position to win games i really have no good answer for you on that people can say whatever they want about what doug would have been we dont know but again i made the decision that i felt jacquizz would give us a better opportunity last week 151 tampa fla that decision was made as i said last week we made a decision for the saints game based on what i thought was best for our team that week and well do the same thing this week koetter said he is running hard peyton barber is on all four special teams charles sims was on some special teams and was a backup on all special teams he wouldnt say what it means going forward though after rushing for 1402 yards last year secondmost in the league with six rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown martins 49 yards per carry has fallen to 29 in 2016 koetter declined to say what direction the team will go in for this weeks season finale against the carolina panthersand whether its reason to be concerned about his future with the team ill stand by it and at some point itll be apparent what our decision is this week and ill stand by that the past several weeks koetter had been peppered with questions about martins performances he has however contributed as a passcatcher im not trying to confuse anybody quizz did a good job when he was in there two days after tampa bay buccaneersrunning back doug martin was made a healthy scratch against the new orleans saints before a game that would essentially decide whether they would reach the playoffs coach dirk koetter stood by his decision and his previous defense of martin sims did not take a snap on special teams the past three games im not sure if it should cause concern or not koetter said ill stand by the defense koetter said he defended martin saying that he had been running hard that we need to play better around him and theres nothing wrong with doug martin jacquizz rodgers led tampa bay with 63 yards and 1 touchdown on 15 carries against the saints thats not my intent he was out six weeks with
