I know but he's been THAT bad...on AND off the field pertaining to durability

You don't know what's going to happen in 3 years. A 2nd year player who has been hurt and dealing with the loss of his father. Sorry nothing is guaranteed. He had been playing better before he got hurt again.

Claiborne is guaranteed to not see a 2nd contract but we're stuck with Carr for 2 or 3 more years.

What are the powerball numbers for this week?

Having said that...why won't we just play our corners in press? Please?

The style that they have the CBs playing is a much better fit for Scandrick than for Carr. Carr needs to play press-coverage but they have him playing off-man, zone or press-bail. Carr would be a much better fit in the Seattle style defense that Kiffin talked about in the off-season.

I think the coaches know how to play him. He has just sucked, period. Quit making excuses.

Carr missed practice during the week because he was sick. He didn't seem to be going full-speed out there.

They can't match the scheme to fit every player.

It was discussed ad nauseam when Carr was signed about him being a press-man coverage CB.

You say he's not guaranteed, but all he needs is three good games next year and he'll get a good one. That's it. Three, maybe four good games.

And when I say good- I don't mean good for the team.

He was playing well early in the season. He's not there mentally. When he does press, he gets worked over, too.

i dont know whats happened to him but he is struggling so bad now its almost worth benching him

I also agree that two of the highest paid players on the team in ware and carr are just killing this defense right now. those guys and lee unable to stay healthy are the whats holding this defense back.

Is this the thread where we pretend Brandon Carr used to be an elite player and we're all mystified to why he's not now?

He's got no front seven. A cornerback is useless without it.

It's time to shadow opposing #1 WR's with Orlando Scandrick.

Bottom line.

lol... As much as I love my boy OScan, we really need Carr to snap out of it. Mike Jenkins said to tell everyone hello. Don't shoot the messenger. :D

Ware is hurting this defense more than any defensive back... We are getting absolutely no pressure up front. The only luck we have next year is Spencer plays for cheap and his knee becomes healthy and we draft some young talent. Like Clowney just miraculously ends up in our lap.
