Daniel Sorensen Is A Liability

[FloridaMan88]

Sorensen’s play tonight is an insult to the word “liability”.

[Mecca]

The coaching staff treats Sorensen like he's Ronnie Lott in his prime.

[The Franchise]

Sorenson isn’t worth of a roster spot.

[Nightfyre]

How many missed tackles does Sorenson have, and how many does he lead the league by? I bet it's like a lead of a half dozen. The bills will leave him free and run right at him if he's in the box. If he's out of the box, they will throw right at him. He is terrible. In turn, he's never been good. He just has some clutch plays in his career. Apparently the coaching staff feels his incompetence is worth the clutch plays. You'll pardon me if I would disagree, and have cut him years ago.

He's not the problem on Defense. It's way more. He's just the one you see in a play that goes bad because there's nobody else even close

He is absolutely not the only problem. But allowing him to continue to play as bad as he has s currently without replacing him do to incompetence is the problem

He's absolutely the problem in the secondary. Or at least the largest part of the problem. Look at the all 22 and I bet you see other safeties out of position because they don't trust Sorenson.

Edit : also he doesn't do his job even when he's in the right spot. Hence he misses all the tackles.

What a surprise, Hog's Gone Fishin defending our "leading tackler"

[Easy 6]

I won't miss him in 2022

[BryanBusby]

This is on Brett, Andy and Steve.

If you hate Thornhill, fine. But Dan clearly ain't ****ing getting it done. You need to be hitting the FA wire until you find someone that can.

The lady sitting next to me at the game last night was wearing a Sorensen Jersey. I just shook my head and curbed my tongue. I wish she could have heard the evil stand up comic in my head...

Everyone liked Woods and that broken leg was pretty gnarly. We wanted to see him succeed so badly. But I'm pretty sure he had 2 big plays that year, one on a deflected pass and one when a receiver fell down. He was clearly a step slow and needed fortunate breaks to make an impact, even in that 'good' comeback season.

And that was to be expected. He was in his 30s and coming off a major lower body injury. Of course he was going to decline. Like Sorensen in 2020, there's a pretty decent chance he was cooked even in his comeback year. He was just in the right place at the right time a few times, so we overlooked it until the following season when those breaks stopped coming and it was obvious he wasn't a player anymore.

There's a whole lot of truth to that, and I see the parallels between Woods and Sorensen - both fan favorites, both made some heady plays...to the point where they could use their football acumen to put their bodies into position to make plays after their natural athletic abilities started fade due to the combination of age and injuries...

Need it to translate to victories, sir.

"Did you find that at Goodwill, or are they finally out of Scabby Piscatelli jerseys at the Pro Shop?"

Look at that '96 draft, man. Woods, Tongue, Browning and Donnie Edwards.

That's the kind of draft you'd like to see in an ordinary year. Not even a HR draft, but 4 good, solid players taken that formed a real nice group of complementary pieces.

And maybe that's what we got on the offensive side of the ball this year with Humphrey and Smith plus a good young OT in Brown.

But we've tried that a couple of times on the defensive side of the ball and it just hasn't taken. As it stands, we're fortunate to get a single good contributor to the defense in most of Veach's drafts.

He needs a '96 style draft class to build the depth of the defense and firm up its foundation. I'm not saying he needs to have the Dorsey draft record where he's snapping up All Pros and HoF talents ever year (man he had a great run). I mean - at least not every year (he needs a few of those hits on his record).

But he needs more than the 1 and done drafts we're getting on the defensive side of the football.

100% Agree. Stop swinging for the fences on projects and just get some sound players in here to stop the bleeding.

****ing case-in-point when I screamed for Logan Wilson and we got Willie Gay. Gay has been in the tub or on the sidelines while Wilson is looking like the next great... ****. Just take the good player.

You are a better man than I, George. After that second long play he allowed (for a TD?), I just started yelling as loud as I could about how Sorensen is terrible and get him out of there. There was a guy wearing a DS jersey two rows in front of me but I didn't care.
