Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

I think the plan all along was to have Prioleau play primarily in passing situations and AA would be used more in running situations where he could do what he does well, which is play close to the line of scrimmage.

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

I have to believe that Archulleta problem is the system and not his ability. Something is not right with how they are playing him. He is not slow, he has good speed for a saftey. I was at the game and I tried to watch him as best I could and what I thought was that he was playing to close to the line. It was fine if he was blitzing, but going into coverage from there just does not work for him. I watched the same thing happen to Vincent yesturday, on th TO dropp. I also saw it happen to Reed Doughty on several ocassions. I know he is a rookie, but my point is this, in all my years of watching football I have never seen saftey get beat as much as ours have. That includes Taylor.

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

B-Mitch on 980 just said that whoever is responsible for bringing AA to DC should lose their job.

He (AA) needs to just stay on the sideline next to GW during games.

Fully agree.

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

B-Mitch is the worst idiot commentator I have ever heard. I cant stand him and he does not know anything. Archulletta can not be as bad as he has looked in Washington. He would never have made it this far. Like I said, in all my years of watching football, I have never seen safeties getting burned like they have been in Washington.

Aren't you a Bears fan now?

Shoo! Go away!

Brian Mitchell played more Pro games than you or I did. He has insight that most of us can't have.

Isn't there a Bears forum you could hang out in? You are still a Bears fan, right? You off their bandwagon now they've lost a game?

[quote=12thMan;239693]No, no and no....we're not bulking up Arch to play him at linebacker. Too late for that shit. And we're not going to pay his ass $30 million to a be situational blitzer.

He needs to be traded or released in the most cap friendly way possible.[/quote]

agreed...screw AA and the horse he rode in on...i think snyder should give him 3-4 mil just for making witten laugh and letting TV block the kick...

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

I think you should start that thread. You know who I would vote for.

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

Come on be nice about the great AA. The great one doesnt like you questioning the moves this team makes. Just agree with the moves and just say it will be ok because danny our owner and gibbs is the coach. No questions asked or else lol.

I think you're right. From Williams quote in today's Wash Post it almost seems like Prioleau was going to be starting, or at least playing major minutes, before he got hurt. But when he got hurt it drastically altered their plans

"We need to put players in the best situations for them and Adam needs to be around the box more, and we finally have the personnel situation where I can get him around the box more," Williams said. "We blitzed several times and he was close to getting there. And we'll continue to do that. He's like that hybrid safety, hybrid linebacker and we're going to get him around the line of scrimmage as much as we can."

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

Archuleta was given the largest contract in NFL history for a safety not to just play on running downs.

I think he is a poor fit for the system right now; not sure if it is the system itself, his learning curve, or what factors exactly. Probably he could be a good player if used in a way to bring out his abilities.

It was sad that Ryan Clark was let go because when he left, Taylor lost a needed mentor and friend, and so it was somewhat like losing Taylor too. At least Taylor's maturity as a player is being accelerated probably. And now that we have Troy Vincent, we have a still talented player with sterling leadership. So, things are on the upswing again.

Seriously, I feel it too. Why do people want Brunell to step up in the pocket, plant his feet and throw instead of rolling out? Because he's white. Y'all aren't ready for a white QB who can roll out and throw on the fly....blah blah blah ;)

Thanks Saden, I needed a good laugh

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

trade him for Ryan Clark. AA is bust 100%.
Ryan Clark is pretty much a hard hitting cover Safety. And that's pretty much ya want unless your Dline sux. My thought is that Williams realized our Dline would underachieve so AA could supplement rush D. Turns out he gets beat by TE's. Cut him asap.


Please lemme see the fold with Duckett.

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

I just hope that if he's gonna blitz, that he works on disguising it more. Plus he usually doesn't time the snap well.
Let's hope he forces a fumble or something that we can give him props for!

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

wait a minute, you mean we had a white guy on our defense? no wonder we suck.

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

Hate is the kindest word i have for him...

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

I hate Archuleta desperately. He reminds me of Matt Stevens.

Re: Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?
 

Am I the only one that wanted to see more of Archulleta today? I still cant believe that even Fox is better than him. When they were running down our throats, I wanted to see him in there.

I actually wanted to see more of him. Arch has definately been victimized, but I think he's been getting a boatload of crap because our defense is so bad (with or without him). I think he is the focal point of all anger re: overpaying high-profile free agents.
