Productivity or Favoritism

I think this would be a great idea. Particularly because DoD is great vs RBs.

Wasn't the reason we drafted this dude his supposed ability to stick with guys coming out of the backfield and to play that type of role? I feel like we saw some flashes of this his rookie season but now we basically never see him besides special teams.

This idea is money. Guarantee DoD wouldn't whiff so many easy ****ing tackles also.

The biggest problem is that Steve is so comfortable in his spot with Andy, he's not being forced to make these decisions that bench guys he likes in favor of better athletes.

Any other D coordinator, on any other team, you can bet your ass the guys that aren't producing aren't seeing the field, because they will lose their job for not utilizing all of their resources to field a better unit.

I've said this a few times a season for YEARS NOW.

I thought this thread was going to be about my boss.

Niemann may not be fast, but he's not very strong either. He's very weak at the point of attack.

That's the most positive thing I can say about him.

It's obviously favoritism. Neither he or Sorenson are the least bit productive, no matter what metric you use.

Seems like Spags has a bit of Reid's stubbornness. Almost like he wants to prove people who are rightfully screaming to bench Niemann and Sorenson wrong.

Don't wear out the rookie, but if you don't it won't matter.

Not too hard to understand why Spags defenses always fall off hard. Could you imagine being a young hungry player that can't get any time because he favors washed up JAGs that "KnOw ThE SyStEm" I'd eventually lose interest in whatever he's spouting.

This is a good point. It's hard to "buy-in" when your leader won't even play the best players.

DOD was a 3rd round pick in 2018 and Niemann an UDFA in 2018. You can hardly call DOD "young, hungry player" over Niemann. Watts was a 4th rounder in 2018, so he's not that young and probably eats pretty well when he can find the table.

Understand I'm not defending Sorenson and Niemann, but only pointing out neither Watts or DOD have done much to prove they're not just JAG ST guys.

Part of the Hitchens/Bolton scenario is the old idea that a guy shouldn't lose his starting job due to injury. It's dumb, but I completely expect when Hitchens is healthy he will get more reps than Bolton. After it continues to be obvious that Bolton is better, then Spags will finally concede.

[arrwheader]

It's already obvious and he basically said today he's playing Hitchens. That is he will at least take some snaps away from him being the Mike.

Get ready to be frustrated some more Sunday.

Sorenson's snaps increased this last week too and it showed because he sucks. Hopefully that's not a trend back up but with spags I don't put it past him.

Spags ****ed the defense when he moved Jones and they brought Neiman and his buttbuddy Dirty Dan back.
