I still feel bad for the Steelers, they spent a 1st on Lawrence Timmons, but Woodley is doing it

I liked Woodely alot when he came out FYI

I was all over him, obviously. 99.9% of this board wanted Spencer.

Woodley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Spencer/Ellis

Polamalu is whiffing all over the place. If he didn't have that hair, people wouldn't be distracted into forgetting how crappy his play can be.

That what I was getting at at the end of my OP.

and the greatest safety in NFL history, the hippie Polamalu would never be beaten for a TD by a TE

Thats why I wish more people would watch games other than the Cowboys (especially back) during the RW wars. Most of the Cowboy fans have these delusional thoughts that guys like Polamalu and Bob Sanders NEVER mess up and RW should NEVER mess up. If they turn on other games they would see the actual norms in the league.

They are 10 yards off at times.

YAKUZA

Its called changing levels. You start learning to do so at the end of pop-warner into High School football when kids are old enough to start passing effectively. Its just used to mix up QBs and prevent them from calling an audible to go deep or short depending on how tight or loose a CB is playing the WR. The Cowboy corners however are apparently coached to show the QB what depth they will play at - most of the time we are giving huge cushions which is my beef.

but atleast they have been making big plays, Roy is solid i dont have any gripes about him, but hes not as spectacular as he used to be, and as sanders and troy can be

and realize that Bradie James is the "leader" of our D. And we wonder why playoff victories are hard to come by.

I think Bradie James is about as average a player as has ever been a central figure of a championship caliber football team. And I hope he reads this post, but I doubt it would improve his play any. Please help me in naming a mlb/ilb that Bradie is better than.

.... I'm out of answers. No you cant use Bobby Carpenter as an answer who is as bad a football player as I've ever seen. Starters only.

Derrick Mason is going ape **** on the Steelers

Bradie is a very good player, and has been a very good fit in our 3-4. However-he isn't even 1/2 the leader Lewis is.

I remember last year when he started responding to Kitna by talking trash to the media before the Lions game. Leaders do NOT do this. If anything, he could have easily used Kitna's comments as BB material to fire up his teammates and went on his business.

I was like I wish we had a Ray Lewis on our team then I remembered we had Zach Thomas made me feel better,

 

[smarta5150]

this game sucks.

Are we watching the same game? This is a great game. Maybe I missed sarcasm?

I understand RW has fallen off from his earlier days but by no means is he bad. He is still an above average SS in this league. Pass coverage lacks but he still helps greatly in the run game. We saw yesterday that our current safeties aren't improving the defense while RW is off the field.

 

[mmohican29]

I like Zach as well, but has he made a difference this year so far? Be honest. He made one play in coverage that was difference making against Philly. Stops behind the line? Stops on 3rd down? Yeah.... not really.

I couldn't agree with you more. Sometimes I only watch him on defense and he consistently gets blown up. He's below average, IMO.

I can tell you that just from memory(I wasnt even looking for him) he HAS made a difference.

Come on man.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Zach Thomas had a rather average game yesterday... Bradie James played well.

 

[smarta5150]

Wowww

noone's protecting him
