Where in the world is, Ken Hamlin?

[TheCount]

I haven't heard this guys name mentioned since his interception and hadn't heard it mentioned till before. I understand we're all about being conservative in coverage, so maybe being over the top, he just doesn't have the opportunity to make a lot of plays but I mean damn, he was supposed to be a hitter too before he got here.

He's made 40+ tackles, so he's doing SOMETHING, but everyone's name on the defense gets mentioned except him. Even Keith Davis has gotten more face time than Hamlin.

Is that what you pay a safety this much money for? To Line up 40 yards deep and backpedel?

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Well as long as we're not getting gashed deep I don't that much of a problem with the guy. I didn't think he was "all-that" last year and didn't deserve the huge dollars. But he was better than what we had there before.

He's not been a train-wreck this season and I applaud that.

Hamlin is spending most of his time face down after his mis-tackles.

That is quite the endorsement. :laugh2:

At what point do we shift him to SS and get Henry to go to FS?

Not till next training camp.


And it's probably 50/50 on who goes, Roy Williams (the SS) or Henry.

Heck there's a slim chance that both go.

Man, I could have sworn we were using him quite a bit in safety blitzes, I KNOW i've seen him back there hurrying QBs. But I just checked his stats and he hasn't had a sack all year...

Which begs the question...Where in the world is Ken Hamlin?!

 

[Romo2Dez4six]

he has been on a mission to find his wheels that were stolen.

Sadly, since Woodson retired, if you don't hear a Saftey's name being called much on this team, that seems to be a good thing.

 

[Hostile]

Sparking Carmen San Diego I guess.

Exactly! All the ignorant posters in this thread are negating the fact that Hamlin is quarterbacking the defense, and that's a crucial assignment to call the formations and get everyone lined up. And it's not like he's getting torched back there playing center field, which by the way, is why you don't see him in too many plays near the line of scrimmage where most of the action takes place. Even in the blowout games, it was Henry or the roockie corners getting torched on deep routes, while Hamlin was doing just fine covering his deep-middle zones. So I don't get the Hamlin-Bashing. REALLY!

:laugh2: Was wondering if anyone else thought of Carmen San Diego when they read the thread title.

Not concerned about his contract anymore, that's where he is.

Don't get me wrong...not hearing his name because he is blowing an assignment is good compared to what we have had...but I would rather have someone doing better and getting his name heard for GOOD reasons.

It would be nice to see him at SS and have a ball hawking FS in the future.

I always hope players will not give up after they get theirs. I am often wondering if they have.

Lonesome Dove term.

Hasn't he been at some burslesque show in Jersey or something?

I couldn't agree more about Hamlin. He's marginal in my book. When someone commented about Skins talent vs ours I said I'd take both their safeties and Moss. No one else really.

Henry is going to be trade bait but they need to strongly consider him as a safety who can serve as a backup CB.

IMO, RW needs to go but I don't know his cap numbers. He would be a good backup safety and a situational player in the nickle and dime. I'd also consider using him in Burnett's role. Pretty pricey in those roles though.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I haven't heard his name much, but I've seen him miss tackles and be out of position

but still, good thing we didn't go w/ my suggestion and let him walk, replacing him w/ Pat Watkins, that guy is even worse

That was the idea

After reading the answers to this thread though it has become very clear that, like me, no one knows where Ken Hamlin is.
