Ken Hamlin

[Hoofbite]

I assume it has been discussed but what is going on with this guy?

He's been complete **** for a while now.

His attempted tackle on Muse during that PI play was embarrassing. Literally, I felt ashamed he was playing for Dallas.

 

[Rampage]

pump fake and he's out of the play

 

[Concord]

Gruden was on him last night.

That guy blows.

Not even. Just a glance to the other side by the QB and he's out of the play.

Easily the weakest link on our entire team right now, IMO. I will just copy-paste what I had to say about him in another thread.

Seriously, Ken Hamlin makes me sick. As if the fact that he makes consistent mental errors, is always out of position, and can't tackle weren't enough...the last two weeks he has played like he doesn't even care. If that pass to Muhammad isn't called back, Hamlin's pathetic attempt at a tackle would have turned a decent gain into a long, momentum- and game-changing TD. Last week, he bit horribly on a play action fake by Manning, leaving Scandrick one-on-one on a deep seam route. The ball was caught, and fortunately Scandrick made the tackle because Hamlin was nowhere to be found. Instead of realizing his mistake and busting his *** to get back in position to make a play, Hamlin turned around and just leisurely strolled back to the middle of the field...even after seeing the ball in the air. If Scandrick doesn't make the tackle, it is a long TD for the Giants just because our lazy *** piece of **** $6 million/year FS couldn't hustle enough to try to make a play. I am sick of his sorry ***.

If I were the Cowboys i'd seriously start thinking about looking at Alan Ball in game situations if Hamlin doesn't step up.


Ball has shown nothing but upside as a safety and Hamlin looks like he is playing in mud.

The Jenkins TD was a tough play and he took to much heat for that but over the past 2 weeks he has given up some big plays and it needs to stop.

Agreed. I wish we could find a decent FS.

Haha.

Little intense but I get ya.

 

[lockster]

Yeah, seems like all that money he got, sure ruined his hunger and incentives.

How is he against the run? I think the plan is for the other Hamlin to slowly work his way into the system and take over by the end of the season.
We probably would have already seen some of Michael by now if he didn't injure his wrist.

The "hammer" Hamlin. I remember when he was playing for Seattle it seemed like he was all over the field. He was a big pain for us in that playoff loss, the infamous Romo muffed snap.

He's now suffering from Roy Williamitis...A couple years in Dallas and that immeasurable fire seems to be petered out.

I bet we release him at the end of the year and he signs with another team and has a great year next year.

I wish Micheal Hamlin hadn't gotten hurt. I would like to see what he could do. I cant believe it would be a ton worse. Talk about stealing money from Jerry. This guy is already in retirement mode.

I just commented on this in another thread. Pathetic that defenders don't wrap up anymore.

on the lack of tackling wrapping up; does that point to wade not believing in tackling in training camp, and does wade need to get the players back to basics on tackling and wrapping up?

 

[Oh_Canada]

I'm all for Alan Ball getting a shot....some of these lazy-*** vets need to be taught a lesson.

Yeah. It seems like the new method now is to get a shoulder or a helmet on someone, and on the way down try and get your hands to trip up the guy's feet. I see a lot of tackles like that now instead of wrapping the guy up the right way.

 

[stilltheguru]

Horrible Hamlin. What a dissapointment he has been since the contract.

 

[Concord]

what did gruden say about him, i missed it;

It was a play where Delhomme just looked the other way and Hamlin froze and of course he couldn't get back over in time to stop a long pass.

Gruden pointed it out on replay how Hamlin got faked and basically said that that can't happen, that he didn't even get off the hash and that he needs to get over there and make that play.

Seemed like it to me that Gruden had seen that type of play before from Hamlin on film or whatever and wasn't too pleased with his play.
