That is why BB is so good. He rarely puts players in a position he knows they are less likely to succeed. That and situational coaching is 90% of what he does and it works. He never reaches the Peter Principle. He does not advance their players to the point that they become incompetent. Practice it at practice til you can do it correctly in the game. He is also amazing at making adjustments, pushing the rules to the limit, and working the officiating crew to get his way. I get it. Better idea..... don't sign an average 2 down LB to a fat contract when you know he's limited to begin with. It's 2018, the game is spread out. You have 2 of the best offenses in the league in the AFC West with star RBs. There is only one Belichick, he's rare so do the smart the acquire TALENT. Tahir Whitehead signings are what happen when you neglect a position of need for years, you try to force some bum into a spot he can't handle. Just draft freaking speed and guys who can cover. It doesn't have to be this hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with both of you but we have to, when I say 'we' I mean Jon Gruden, move forward right now with what we have. Right now we are trying to fit square pegs into round holes instead of putting players in a good situation. I get that we are tanking now and this is an evaluation year but asking players to do things you know they can not is a waste of time. We should be putting all the young guys on the field and see how they fit. RM has made a lot of personnel mistakes but Gruden's coaching and his staff are making it worse. Maybe we are just holding back now and trying to get players to just make the right decisions even if they can not execute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give a team a late rounder to take Irvin. Really dislike that guy..... all talk, no action his entire time here. Some flashes but overall, just another poor FA signing. I didn't understand keeping him this season. Thought he should have been cut in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he should have been cut in the offseason. I guess I’ll defend Bruce to a degree 15 sacks 2016-2017 nothing to sneeze at is about the same that Olivier Vernon has in the same time. ( I’m not saying he’s the same player ) or better just comparing sack numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never developed into the complimentary pass rusher alongside Mack we paid him to be. He's overpaid, hes not a leader, he constantly gets dumb penalties and he's annoying. Time to go. I would trade him for a conditional 7th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was better at olb for tackling and run support more than ive seen fron him at De. Plus 5+ sacks at olb is nice bonus for good run lb. At de he has been pretty awful. I liked the signing when we brought him in. I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I loved Desmond King in the draft last year as a 5th Round Flier. And what do you know? Desmond King has graded a Top 5 CB all season via PFF. And they have also graded Derwin James as a Top 7 S all season. Both are on the Chargers and we passed on both.. what a monumental mistake.

Wait your questioning your boy Chuck lol seriously though if Miller progresses his position is more valuable which has been written before around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we’ll get a better Safety in the draft than Derwin James: Deionte Thompson. Love that guy. Still bummed we passed on King though. I was a huge fan of him in college.
