But I also think there's a thresshold level of athleticism required for playability. I don't think Hitchens has fallen below that level so I'd be happy to have him back and let him round out that LB corps.

But Sorensen has fallen below that level. When national broadcasts are pointing him out and talking about how teams are just locating and attacking him, it's pretty bad. You've got Riddick and Manning specifically noting that teams are finding him and going after him. Writers for national sites are tweeting out "The Packers have 5 days to teach Jordan Love who Daniel Sorensen is..."

It's just beyond satire at this point. He just can't do the job. He's not an NFL player anymore.

yeah, I mean, I understand that, but if you're just going to get killed I'd rather at least get killed with the young athletic players who potentially learn as opposed to the guys who just can't get it done no matter what.

a blown coverage pisses me off way less than the Sorensen **** ups.
