big_palooka Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 How about when Al Davis made Stanford Routt the highest CB in football. And this fan base tried to defense it lol. That was the tip of the PFF iceberg to come Chaz Schilens.... still waiting on him to breakout. Any day now.... Crowd Favorite... Bruce Campbell, the "steal" we got that year. Travis Goethel the LB they kept trying to prop up as a starter waiting to breakout 2011, the year of DVD and Checkwa. And David Ausberry... made one play and fans here thought he was the next Tony Moeaki. This forum is the best and worst all at the same time! Got to hand to some of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jamarcus of MLBs. The worst of it, DHB round 1. Then Mike Mitchel round 2. The player they couldn't even find tape to show on the draft coverage lol But Mitchell had a better career than most of the guys we drafted over the years.

There are a few of those guys recently as well. Shelby Harris. Latavius Murray... always thought they should keep him as a backup. JDRs staff didn't like him.

Man....I thought Ausberry had Waller-like potential. If you were patient with him on Madden 25, he could be an absolute beast. His tackle breaking on the game was up there with RoJo and Markus Wheaton and Jeff Maehl....real murderer's row there eh? Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dumbass bought a Routt jersey Lolol. And remember that joke of a game where Condo got hurt and Goethel had to LS. Messed up like 3 snaps. Good times 😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington over Rodgers will forever be the worst decision Al ever made though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich7sena Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Whoever becomes the new DC needs to play Abram the same way Seattle plays Adams and Los Angeles plays James. Abram showed at Mississippi state that he can be a potent outside linebacker/safety hybrid and can even rush the passer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble_Beast Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Leon Bender, man that was a name I forgot. I remember my dad bought me his card when I was very little. Sad what happened to him, wonder if he would have been a great raider. Edited January 8, 2021 by Humble_Beast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I remember as a kid thinking Ken Yon Rambo was going be this beast for us... lol just because of his name.... thought for sure Phillip Buchanan was the missing piece to a title team lol. Think he started out with a pick 6 doing the Deion dance to get me hyped up. I spent all my Money as a kid to get his picture that was autographed at a Bay Area mall.

Abram showed at Mississippi state that he can be a potent outside linebacker/safety hybrid and can even rush the passer. And you know who was there at the founding of the LoB (Adams is Kam 2.0 right?) and who used James recently? Gus Bradley. Who is our top DC target according to twitter? Gus Bradley. Maybe there is some sense in Grudock after all? I doubt that :), but I see some value in Bradley and his scheme for our back end and for our LB's. My issue is our DL and his scheme, since that is another 4 man rush without blitzing principle and our guys failed in that "role" so far. Obviously a true impact DT could elevate the young DE's too and we might have a competent DL, but I can't get too exited... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norv Turner was the coach that season who had a lot of success with QBs. But Rodgers needed some time to adapt to the pro game. That said, I'm a firm believer that talent is talent. If you have it it will shine through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins would have still started most or all the season and Turner would have been fired. B&B would have ruined Rodgers the next season. Kwame Harris would still be a terrible LT and the offense awful. His talent might have shined once he was cut or traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
