When he replaced Adams, yes. Whatever happened after that is beyond me. I'd say 10' was average at best.
Terrific? What curve are you grading on?
Look, I admit, I've always thought the guy was a bum. Maybe my hatred for the offensive lines mediocrity has clouded my judgement, but I've never seen the guy play good football.
He did okay filling in for Columbo, who was already useless at that point in time. Free didnt completely shit the bed filling in at LT, but he was never starter quality, IMO.
Im interested in reading what your thoughts are on why he's on the verge of being released. If you and Dbair are correct, and the dude was a good football player a few short years ago, what's up with his drastic decline?
Oh geez the homer bit again. You guys have got to come up with something better.
He replaced columbo after he was hurt. He was outstanding go back and watch. The only game he struggled in was the sd game his first one, he got pushed around early in the game and then bounced back in the second half.
he was one of the key reasons we made that run in 09, he was blocking buys at the line and then 15 yards down the field on the second level. part of the reason felix and the wr screens were good.
watch the eagles or saints game, he made repeated vicious hits on the second level. he was playing terrific.
His played dipped this year, I have no explanation for it but its cute how you guys always throw me and dbair out there like we are the retards because we actually remember seeing the guy play well. This homer shit is stupid.
go back and watch that stretch in 09, watch him play in 10. He was a good player and earned his contract. Whatever happened this year that caused him to struggle this year I dont know, Brad sham said early in the year that he was having a lot of problems with his knees and was constantly getting treatment on them and it was affecting him but he never talked about it....Most reporters didnt know about because they didnt talk to him in there like brad did I guess. So maybe his body is breaking down and his athletic ability was his best trait, which would now be compromised.
or i could just be a dumbfuck cause I think he was a good player a few years ago.
