Al Singleton should never ever be sent on a blitz. I don't know how many times they sent him and nothing happened. Its nothing more than a total waste of time. That will be a match up that we never win whether its a Tackle, Fullback, Tight end or a Running back.

Yep, he is our worst blitzer, and on a brighter note Fujita played well Yesterday.

Check out sequence first half.

He blitzed twice IN A ROW and was stopped in his tracks by the FB.

It's just bad coaching. Why send a guy on a blitz who has no history whatsoever of effectively rushing the passer? That's like lining Roy Williams up over a WR in man coverage and expecting him to win that battle.

Well, if you notice, Fujita is playing more and more and it really is a matter of time.

Al is the least of our worries right now.

Fujita has been largely ineffective as well. Burnett can't even take PT from those two guys.

This is a position that needs to be addressed in the draft (Bobby Carpenter)

Fujita should be starting. Burnett is behind Ware. Burnett will be starting next year.

Fujita - led team with 6 tackles
Singleton - 3 tackles

make the switch.

I'd like to see more of Burnett myself, although I realize that the defense must be doing something right.

Most of Fujita's tackles were down the field anyway. He gets no pressure on the blitz either.

Like Ken said, these guys are the least of the team's worries right now. The defense seems to be playing OK. However, I don't think either is the long term answer.

If Fujita was the long term answer, I would have hoped he could have picked up the defense enough to force Singleton out after 2 months. He hasn't.

I don't what Burnett's deal is, but I am beginning to think his future might not be at OLB.

Still think this needs addressed in the draft. A big, fast LB with pass rush skills and coverage skills would look great opposite Ware. See if you can resign Fujita on the cheap for depth. Cut Singleton.

The ties to BP make Carpenter an attractive prospect.
