If the rumors are true, and I do think Chung had a bad attitude while he was rehabbing, ( twitter comments) the unfortunate part is that the Pats have no one better to play over Chung. I am disappointed that 2nd rd pick Wilson is still not ready to play more snaps. The "rumors" on Wilson are that while he is very athletic, he is still making the same mistakes he made in training camp.
While Chung apparently is done after the season, he needs to be relied upon as he 3rd rotational safety, and while Gregory has shown improvement, does anyone really trust him Either?
It's interesting about Wilson. I was disappointed to see him bite two games in a row on a double move. The first time, I figured it was just a rookie mistake. But when he did the same thing on almost the same route the very next game I wondered about his ability to recognize situations and learn. He was done as a deep safety after that, I think, and instead BB is using him mostly at the LOS to cover TEs, which he does do reasonably well.
I think, though, he's going to be given a year or two to develop and we'll see whether he gets more reliable and can go back to playing deep (though I see him more as a hybrid LB/safety who plays near the LOS in nickel formations).
Chung, I think, has shown what he is. Hard hitter, not great in coverage, not always as reliable and smart as a safety as you'd like. I sense he's on his way out. Gregory and McCourty seem to be the starters when everyone is healthy. I think the second safety position is one we still need to address in the offseason. Too bad, but we just don't have a solid starter there yet.
Yeah, too bad Brady went for 1/6 in the red zone in the game that a rookie took a shallow angle, his 4th game into his pro career. Gee, I always look to blame a rookie over the QB who makes 20 million going 1/6 in the red zone on the road with the D playing outstanding.
Otherwise, we'd have the 1 seed right now. How does an offense go 1/6 in the red zone in this era?
Hey remember when you made that "the warnings were out people, irrationals exposed" thread after Wilson made a tackle during the preseason? Yup, I sure do - well now we are 20 games (counting preseason) and 120 practices later...it's ok to wonder what's going on with "Super Reach".
Actually, I don't recall ever saying that whatsoever. I do remember TexasPat telling us he sucked and many calling him out on that for listening to Mel Kiper.
Hint: Don't EVER listen to Mel Kiper when it comes to the Pats. lmao
In fact, don't ever trust anyone with a toupee. Do you wear a toupee, Hurlie? Oh, I bet you do!
I also remember a lot of different people back at Safety earlier in the year as BB fiddled the combinations/dealt with injuries, with veterans like Gregory and McCourty now settling the position down a bit for the playoffs.
Of course you don't remember! Just like you don't remember saying...Cunningham is better than Dunlap, Revis and McCourty=same thing, Merriweather is the second best safety in the AFC, we should trade Brady for pics, Mathews is a selfish/overrated player, Ocho would of been big here if it weren't for Brady, Brady is ruining this team, Chung shut Gates down all by himself, Arrington shut Cruze down all by himself, Mankins sucks, the whole league is going to go out of business because of the impending doom that is the virtual certainty of the NFL lockout!!!
