Benching Players

[cowfan]

Who are the starting players that you would bench?


My first on the list would be Jenkins. He made the Pro Bowl last year and the biggest problem is not the coverage, but his effort. There are plays that he seems to be taking off. He's a young player, but something needs to be done to get his attention.

I'm not going to mention his name, but our Pro Bowl tight end seems to be constantly making mistakes. Last night he wasn't out of his stance and Clay Matthews was stopping Barber for a lost.

Kitna,
Colombo,
Davis,
Witten,
Barber,
Jones,
Brooking,
Spencer,
James.
Ball,
Jenkins,
Scandrick
Igor

And MORE Dez.

But, in reality, none of this matters. The coaches would just get other players that they couldn't coach and Dallas will still be in the same mess.

But, definately Scandrick and Jenkins.

Exactly who are you planning on replacing him in the starting lineup with? It's all well and good to want to bench someone, but the only defensive players we could replace him with - Scandrick and Ball - are the only defensive players that are playing worse than he is.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Everyone but Dez

 

[yentl911]

Ball, Sensi, Jenkins, Bigg, Columbo, Felix/Barber, Witten, Olshansky, Kitna.

I know most will not agree with Witten but he has had crucial penalties, missed assignments, he has been terrible. I would let Marty B get a shot at more playing time.

I know Scandrick does not start but he has been horrible.

Jenkins lack of effort is appauling. He has a history of this.

Bigg is done. Period.

Columbo at least tries to play. He just can't do it any longer.

Sensi and Ball are a mess back there. Trouble lining up, missed assignments, finger pointing after getting burned, etc..Roy Williams all over again.

Felix is a liability against the blitz. He has digressed.

Barber has no spring in his step and breaks very few tackles any longer.

Igor is a non-factor and for his size gets pushed around at the point of attack.

This team has become a Clown Locker.

You can only bench em if you feel you have someone behind them that is better, or at least competent. That removes alot of options because our "depth" is even worse.

I'd start with Witten. It's painful to say so but he's a "leader" on this team that is playing like garbage. Davis we can roll with Holland or Stubby Arms.

Other than that we don't have alot of options.
