Yeah, the point is that Todd Haley is clueless.

Why are Goof and Niswanger on the field? Why have Lance Long and Bobby Wade seen more playing time than Mark Bradley? Why has Dwayne Bowe only caught 23 balls in 7 games, making on pace for 52 on the year when he had 86 last year? Why has DeMorrio Williams been starting in place of Derrick Johnson?

Why, why, why, why, why?

There are SO questions to ask about the personnel decisions being made about this team that getting upset about Morgan is about 10th on the list of personnel decisions to be upset about.

well long and wade probably havent dropped as many passes as the others, same point as bowe, johnson obviously IS NOT buying into what they are trying to accomplish and williams is. bradley had a problem LINING up in the right spot and getting to the marker on 3rd downs

Give me a break.

So you're pronouncing that Bobby Wade and Lance Long are better NFL receivers than Mark Bradley?

Huh?

Dude, the bottom line is that they're ALL doing it worse since his arrival.

Mark Bradley had a very nice eight games after joining the Chiefs and looked to be an excellent addition to Bowe's 86 catches.

Instead, both receivers, Bowe & Bradley are going to get half the catches this year from last year. That's ****ing idiotic.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear this shit about it being done "right" when the numbers prove otherwise.

The Bowe situation pisses me off more than any other.

This should have been his breakout year. 3rd year in the league, with a HC that Fitz swears by as a position coach.

Instead, he's regressed massively.

Matter of fact, most if not all our young players, sans Dorsey (and arguably Hali - he's a wash, IMO) have regressed under Haley and his staff.

Albert.
Bowe.
Bradley.
Page.
Carr.
Leggett.

Etc.

bode has proven that he cant make the routine catch thus far. THATS the problem there, he dropped at least 2 more last game, carr is playing about the same as last year IMO. bradley has problems even lining up in the right spot.

Problems? One time?

WTF?

I can tell you that as a high school receiver, I once lined up offsides in a controlled scrimmage with referees.

It happens.

It can be expected when you change the scheme just two weeks before the season starts.

Do you think he's not making the routine catches because he's worried that if he ****s up....he's going to get demoted again?

Yeah, this shit pisses me off beyond belief. And with Tank & Turk shipped out, along with Pollard, it's just even more maddening.

I just ****ing KNEW this was going to happen after they fired Herm. Herm had the personnel heading in the right direction and I absolutely guarantee that this roster would have been stocked with talent for the next coach in 2010.

Now, we're starting from scratch. Again. AND we're further away from having a competitive defense and a competitive offense.

Want to hear something funny?

Houston's run defense has moved up 10 spots from #31 to #21 since Pollard's arrival in the starting lineup.

They've held Hightower, Benson and Gore all under 50 yards.

Why?

They're playing him in run support, instead of playing him deeper like we were.

Amazing what happens when you put players in a position to succeed and play to their strengths.

gore it was his first game back from injury and only 13 carries
hightower has rushed for over 50 yards only once this year
benson is the only one that was far off but he only had 16 carries in the game
