I am so tempted
What was the site I heard James talking about:
was it http://www.shelter37.com ?
Mickey Spagnola is becoming a comedian. I his article on nickle defense he states.
“Greg Ellis (DT) — The thought of rushing from inside on third down doesn’t thrill Ellis, but he’s such a team player he will warm to the idea.”
Tim, (from the last thread) I’m not going to argue that Vrabel and Bruschi haven’t lost a step, or Harrison either. But I will argue that NE is still better up the middle than Dallas was. The Watkins-Davis combo was one of the worst in the NFL, period, and that’s a huge part of why Dallas was exploited over the middle.
Also, even if the NE guys are getting older, their D has a tremendous amount of what Dallas has been lacking ever since Woody left–leadership. The Cowboys “leaders” on D are lead-by-example kinds of guys, except for Bradie James and Aaron Glenn–and who’s gonna get fired up by a guy that sucked as bad as James last year and a nickel cb? I’m done hoping that Roy will become the “qb of the defense,” the best I could possibly see happening is Hamlin doing more of the making-sure-guys-are-lined-up-properly stuff and D-Ware being the emotional heart of the defense. There’s just way too many laid-back kind of guys at the difference-making positions on D these days…
By the way, I just heard the rumor that Tarik Glenn is retiring from the Colts. Now that would have to drop Indy a notch or two below SD and NE, don’tcha think?
Trey,
Ellis did that in ‘03 and ‘04 when Dallas was a strictly 4-3 team. What’s the issue now? Has he “forgotten” how to play inside rusher unless he gets an extension?
Greatwhite,
I couldn’t agree with you more about a leader stepping forward. The Boys have been lacking in that department on D for a while now. … I also think that this is Kevin Burnett’s year! He is the type of fiery guy, that if he gets playing time and starts making plays, the defense will feed off of him. Once there is some confidence there, I can see players like Roy, Hamlin, Burnett, Hatcher adding some fuel to the fire, but someone definately needs to get it started. With the talent & depth already there, if they played within the system with intencity, they can be very good!!
Yeah, hopefully now that BP’s large personality/ego is out of the way, some of the those guys will step out of the shadow to be leaders. I’m thinking that the attack-oriented scheme and attitude SOB is bringing will help with that, too.
I miss James Washington.
Is anyone out there really questioning if Hamlin can do a better job than the Davis/Watkins combo? Even if he plays half as good as he did two years ago, then he’s twice as good as Davis/Watkins was last seaon.
I’d like to see Watkins develop inot a long term answer, but I think he’ll basically be an understudy Hamlin and Special Teamer this season.
Despite the need for some to blame everything on BP, I do not see how we can blame the lack of leadership on the D on him as well. BP makes it a point on picking captains of college teams as much as he can- Carpenter was one of OSU’s, I think. That certainly is not a sign of someone who is worried about someone on a team becoming a leader. Sad fact is that we don’t have one. Its just the way it has happened.
I am not questioning Ellis versitility. As you pointed out he has done it before and last year he did a wonderful job as a first year OLB.
I used to defend Ellis on the boards, but I now find the “but he’s such a team player ” unbelievable.
I’m not sure why, but nobody else seems interested in commenting on your first-ever pod-cast. I think it’s a helluva cool thing to start doing and you did a great job, Rafael. Really nice questions. Looking forward to more of these.
