So the train wreck that is our defense is on Carrington? Nobody on that defense had a clue on where to be and what to do. How the Hell do you figure the third DT was gonna save this mess when the starter - supposed to be stud - was doing squat? C'mon. These next several games will helop tell the tale. They seem to be starting to have a clue.
+1.
Carrington gets a decent push and is a threat to bat away a few passes. For the few reps he gets he is solid. Why he should be replaced at seasons' end is beyond me.
Love Howard. Tune him in all the way here in Rochester. He's a pro and unpretentious and largely sticks to soirts. The afternoon crew I can't stomach. Bitter and full of themselves. They sound like they hate their jobs...if so spare us and move on.
This. As earlier posted, torn ligaments or severe tendinitis would be hell to play with and Beverly limit a DEs repertoire. It would be all bull rush all the time. Fact is we don't know and they ain't saying.
Been following the team since 1963. Is what it is and I'm not changing now. When a season's lost, I'll listen to the games while getting stuff done instead of watching. Guess I'll start doing that after the Bye.
Story on Mario is far from written...look at Peppers first year in Chicago...wasn't pretty but looks good now. Fitz's story is written ....he'll be great to train the QB we draft next year.
Big Cat....Jesus beevis ....take the Bye week off and calm the Hell down. Another thread was bemoaning all the noobs on the board. At least play the season out with us!
D-line is average. LB's way below average, secondary below average and DC ten years behind the times. We could see the worst defensive season ever by a NFL team if there are no changes planned.
Great post by OP - as usual. I happen to agree with every word (except the dry your eyes lyric) as I try and manage to salvage some joy out if this day.
