Let's talk about the guys that Pioli unceremoniously cut.
How great would Babin have been opposite Hali? How about Pollard and Berry? And don't give a shit about Moeaki. What about Tom Crabtree? I'd take him over ****ing O'Connell!
Pioli passed on Graham, Hernandez and Gronk but traded up for an often injured Moeaki and he's supposed to get CREDIT for that?
Net gain: Houston.
ONE ****ING PLAYER IN FOUR DRAFTS! Woo-****ing-hoo! |
Jason Babin credits the scheme for his emergence. He has said multiple times that
this is the scheme he dominated in college at and that he really doesnt fit other ones. There is some merit to the fact that we maybe should have been the ones to realize that and not changed schemes and jettisoned him, but the guy was a bust before he got to KC and he still was one when he left...it's whatever.
I was one of the handful of guys that was pissed when Pollard was cut and he is now on a defense where he is used correctly (I have lots of posts from 2009 detailing how he SHOULD have been used and they are exactly how the Ravens use him now)...those two with Lewis as the third safety would have been ****ing great.
How much different do Gronk, Graham and Hernandez look because of Tom ****ing Brady and Drew Brees?...and how would Moeaki look in their positions? That gets us full circle on the fatal flaw point.
