After watching yesterday's game & seeing the same thing i've seen for 6 years I couldn't help but think "If i see this dude ___________ 1 more time, my head's gonna explode." I ended up coming to the conclusion that certain players & coaches have to be gone next year, or i'll have to start seriously considering this team's commitment to winning & thereby reevaluate my allegiance to them. Here's my list.
Weaver - 1-2 sacks in 3 years? There are guys who come off the bench for other teams who have more than that. Terrible pass rusher & OK at run defense.
Faggins - has been here since the start & wasn't able to beat out an aging Coleman & Glenn then. Got his chance as the starter the last 2 years...it's confirmed.....he still sucks. he's okay as a nickel but since we just drafted molden, & faggins has already gotten his shot, doesn't it make more sense to get molden in there at the nickel to see what he's got?
TJ - he's another one who's been given chance after chance to live up to his billing & he's failed miserably. I sat & just watched him in the steelers/titans games & he just looks awful. To top it off, he's exactly what some on here say we need more of & the type of player McNair doesn't draft/pick up.......a knuclehead with attitude....... for those of you saying that how do ya still feel that way now?
Ahman Green / Chris Brown - I mean seriously, do i need to go into detail about these 2?
Richard Smith - I've pointed out in other threads that this guy has done nothing in his career to warrant keeping him around another season. He doesn't utilize his players' strengths, the defense isn't very cohesive in executing its stunts & blitzes & he seemingly isn't willing to take enough chances during the game so that they might get good at them. Yeah he doesn't have the best talent, but it's becoming more noticeable that his scheme sucks as i heard Adam Wexler mention it on the radio the other day.
John Hoke - Who's the common factor in our defensive secondary whoas every year since our inaguration year? Why is it that none of the Db's (except dunta) in our short history seem to be able to play the ball in the air very well? You guessed it & like it or not that falls on him. We have yet to be surprised by any of our late round DB prospects & every FA we bring in or release seems to either look worse here than they did at their previous teams or better than they did here. We also have yet to be pleasantly surprised by a late round DB stepping up in his tenure which is a stark contrast to almost every team in the league. IMO he's just overrated as a coach & it's time to try something new.
CC Brown - never had the talent to be a starter & shouldn't be one, yet for some reason Kubes thinks this guy is the 2nd coming of Steve Atwater & continues to start him. He doesn't tackle well, & has garbage hands although you'd never know that b/c he's not fast enough to cover the ground necessary to provide support to your CB's. he'd probably be okay in special teams...but so would a bunch of average NFL guys....let him go.
Greenwood- more known to fans for his sub-par rapping skills than actually making plays on the field. It's sad when you can play a whole game & fans don't even know you're in there. He'd be great on special teams but with what we're paying him, he would need to renegotiate. Otherwise i could care less if he were let go...it's not like we'd be missing big play capabilities.
Honorable mention: Chester Pitts, M. Briesel.
those are just the few off the top of my head.
