What Bradie James lacks in ability to play, he almost makes up for in ability to audible to shift the defense into the right set/call. He knows this defense better than anyone and he's a QB out there getting everyone to the right spot.

I want him replaced but not just by anyone.

Yep, and I bet the Cowboys are now kicking themselves for not retaining Bradie James this offseason. Watch their defense implode with the loss of Sean Lee, and nobody with experience waiting in the wings behind him. This was a good signing by Wade, and a smart, low-risk move to increase continuity among the defense. Especially after trading Ryans, who otherwise would have assumed this role.

Yeh. Jeruh has helped his GM change his underwear several times a day since realizing the the Cowboys are playing the Giants next........without a real ILB "QB."

Let's see 2010 Sharpton had 34 combined tackles in 12 games.
2011 12 combined tackles in 8 games. Can anyone say Domannique Barber?

[SteveSlaton20]

He was one of my favorite player on defense last year before he got hurt, so I'd love to have him back. Never was a fan of James but he hasn't done anything that makes me want to cut him or something. He's basically the QB of the defense since Cushing is out. The defense showed last week that he can play against any offense, IMO.

Not sure if I'd seen Ruud yet. He's probably still learning the playbook, so we probably wont see him for awhile.

Really? Why is that? Thread title and I addressed it with facts. Interesting that I've never been called a troll and you do.

[speedfreek]

If Daryl can't make it, maybe we can get Al and he'll lull the offense to sleep stumping for some political cause..

He's not a troll at all.

Trolling is when a poster stays on ONE thing and never lets it die.

Example: "The head coach sux!"

Next post from that poster: "Our HC is awful, that none of you see this...it's sad."

Next next post: "LOL. Yeah, well if we had a better HC we'd be unstoppable. The guy is garbage. Wake up and smell the coffee."

And those posts, they're in almost EVERY thread...not just a "Our HC Sux" thread. They take their pet project, coach bashing, and inject it into every single thread they can. Baiting others into arguments over it.

THAT is trolling.

Another form of trolling is when somebody makes personal attacks with no real contribution to the discussion of ideas about the thread's topics.

Badboy isn't trolling. He's giving his opinions, he's backing it up with numbers, etc. That's not trolling. He's engaging in the conversation and staying within the framework of the thread topic.

Nothing personal from me to you or anything...I'm just letting you know in case you are unsure of what trolling is and isn't.

610 just reported that Kubiak today again said that Sharpton is "very close but still not practicing."

[jahunter221]

Lol. Freaking Kubiak. How is he close if he isnt practicing?

[TimeKiller]

"Real close"


lol...sorry, I couldn't help it.

[Thorn]

He's real close to being real close.

Maybe Kubiak trolling??

[SAMURAITEXAN]

This is great news. Hope he comes back.

Go Texans!!!

[CloakNNNdagger]

I'm sure Kubiak got his information from someone else. Some things though, especially medical, can occasionally be entirely misunderstood.

um...Jeruh is his own GM. That's the biggest problem with the Cowgirls.

I'm thinking some of us are expecting more from Sharpton than others. I think he's a good player, but he's depth. He doesn't, imo, add anything to the defense than what Dobbins has shown.

Barrett Ruud is the guy I'm most curious about. If he can "return to form" maybe he can fill that dynamic void left by Cushing, or at least shore that up a little bit, provide a spark from time to time.

Otherwise, Dobbins looked solid & has since he's got here. Leave him in.

[HOU-TEX]

Getting closer?

ILB Darryl Sharpton (quad/PUP) said he plans to practice next week. "I look forward to hitting some people." #Texans
