For a defense that has given up 380 points this season, which is in the bottom part of the league, maybe this unit is not as strong as we thought it was last season.
Ive been keeping mental notes on players that either shouldn't be here next year, or on the brink of cut.
1) Randolph Crowder(that is his real name. Go to NFL.com). Randolph to me is not what you look for in a middle linebacker. He often takes poor angles, is an inconsistant tackler, not a very good blitzer, and below average at shedding blocks. For god sakes the guy has ONE career interception. I like his speed and his coverage ability and leadership, but I would have rather had Bart Scott last offseason than Randolph.
2)Gibril Wilson. I thought this guy was going to be a beast this year. I thought he was a good tackler. Not only is does he miss tackles, he is horrible in coverage and has stone hands, As evidence by today.
3) Akin Ayedole. I don't even care to spell this guys name right. HORRIBLE in space, I cant count on 2 hands how many poor angles this guy has taken this season which allowed big runs. There is a reason why this is his 3rd team. I like Reggie Torbor much better. I would like to see Erik Walden playing in his spot this week.
4) Joey Porter. Quite simple, all talk no walk. He talks a big game but just doesnt have it any more.
5) Sean Smith. I know he is a rookie. ZERO ints this year having started EVERY game. Thats not the issue, this guy is I swear the worst tackling DB I have seen since Deion Sanders. He seems as soft as Ted Ginn to me.
I really want to know what you guys think about or D.
