If a DB were to intercept a 60 yard bomb on fourth down, that DB would be a moron. If the game plan were to throw an intentional interception on third and long, the coach would be a moron.
I predicted that Gerhard DeBeer would start an NFL game before Nate Peterman did (which is another way of saying that Nate Peterman would never start another NFL game).
I was wrong.
I have been intrigued by DeBeer's story, though, and I'm happy to see him on the PS.
It's pretty hard to see a path to a winning season for me. 7-9 seems optimistic. 5-11 seems likely. 2-14 is not unlikely.
But, by mid season, maybe we've turned it around? Maybe Allen starts to reach his potential, along with some of our skill positions? Maybe the O-line gels? Could happen.
Not sure why this needed its own thread, as this topic has been discussed, ad nauseum, in the “Peterman Starts” thread.
Be that as it may, if people refuse to forget that performance, it’s because that’s what happens when you make history.
One would think if he was a "natural" right DE that he might have some success on the left side. He had maybe one decent play stopping the run. He was useless rushing the passer. USELESS. I don't believe he got around his man even once. He was stood up straight on every pass play. Sure, I get that he's better on the right side. But, how much better could he be? Better than Hughs? I doubt it!
And, why on earth would Jerry Hughs be finished??? He's 30!
Shaq got stood up almost every play. I don't think he got past his man once. The only time he broke away from their RT was when the ball was handed off. Terrible.
I opened up this thread and saw this post first, and immediately knew who it was referencing. Honestly, I think it’s a fan of some other team (Pats* maybe?) with a low self esteem, too much time on his hands, and not much imagination.
