Smith is a PLAYER. He covers a large lateral area and wraps up very well. I think that our defensive tackles get manhandled quite a bit at the point of attack and against good running team wears down our lbs and safeties.
Imagine what Fat Quan could do once he gets in game shape.
Right?!? I’m watching all this shit go down, and I’m like, wait, we are putting hundreds of yards on teams with a ground game, and you are blaming Fields for not being Aaron Rogers? What in the living fuck?
That is just bullshit. It's simple, Teven is a talented guy, but he, as of the moment, seems to not be willing to put in the effort at practice that the coaches value as a core belief to the success of the franchise. If they are winning and Teven is a guy that takes off Wednesdays, guys may look the other way, but when things are going rough, and the if coaches are allowing a non aging vet to half ass practice while getting on everyone else about effort, that would be a locker room disaster waiting to happen.
Ya you got me. He was better last game but he still sucked. Of course, he couldn't be worse than the previous game.
FTR, I am not saying he wont' get it. If we are gonna say fields has been bad, Jones has been bad, etc. that doesn't mean I think they're never going to be good. Gordon will get it he is being asked to do a lot. Improving tackling at this point would up his game. If you rewatch that big play he gets roasted off the line, I was like oof and then boom lol. I don't think he is a good fit at nb, jmo.Ya you got me. He was better last game but he still sucked. Of course, he couldn't be worse than the last game.
I expected him to be a zone outside starter when drafted. Him struggling at nickel with Vildor outside has been less bad than it could be except vs GB. They knew what to pick on. Confuse the nickel and throw high and outside against the little guy. When the opposition gets near the goal line, even average QBs cab place balls like that on short distances and Vildor becomes extremely vulnerable, even when he's on the WRs hip. It's too bad because he's not a bad cover guy.
Yup and there’s no fixing short. Like you said. Backup because he’s not bad on assignments
So what evidence do we have of this besides the one quote saying he needs to have a good practice? Is there any direct quote from anyone or other inside info saying he is lacking effort? Legitimately curious as I haven’t seen it.
