Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

I don't think AA was juicing. He was on a pretty extreme workout routine since high school. His back injury is probably what slowed him down more than anything, and it's not like he was any sort of track star to begin with. He was always more of an 'in the box' type of safety.

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

who whadda thought that AA would have been cut by the bears after the stellar performance he gave us in 06'

I feel bad for him, his career has taken a turn for the worse.

[QUOTE=SmootSmack;447075]Has anyone been paying any attention to doman29's posts?

Let's run through some of the opinions he posted since joining

-Bring Adam Archuleta back to compete for a safety spot

-Trade Betts to Detroit. Pick up Shaun Alexander or Kevin Jones

-Goof Ball Gibbs ruined this team (along with Spurrier) trading for useless players such as...Adam Archuleta

-Give LaVar a camp invite

-Why not LeMar Marshall too

-While we're at it, sign Trotter to a vet min deal or give him a 2 year deal

Its nice to know Larry is visiting the Warpath.

Sorry - I don't hate the guy, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who was paid a gazillion dollars to sit on the bench and rats out his coaches to the media. I had hoped he would do well for us - but he really was just a big wussy douche (with millions of dollars and a super hot girlfriend - didn't this guy listen to Flock of Seagulls to psych himself up on game day?)

Cry me a river.

Looks like Chicago is always picking up our dead weight (Adam Archuletta, Brandon Lloyd, ...). Their next free agent acquisition will be Derrick Frost, aka Mr Shank.

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

I know this isnt Madden, but does anyone think Adam Archuleta can play outside LB? I think at this point in his career his value as a SS is dwindling, but if he can add a few pounds and learn his position I think he [I][U]MAY[/U][/I] be able to play outside LB(weakside). He is already 223lbs, and if he added another 10-15 it could work.

Thoughts?

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

Well, I hear he has a pretty good-looking girlfriend/wife (dunno if its progressed to that)....she'll make him feel better.......I hope...


Tough luck!

Remember, he STILL has to cover receivers even as an LB... ;)

I think it would be tough, and as others pointed out, he's a little old. So I think the move to LB would be dumb, but i'm sure if he wanted to, he could do it. He's a good athlete. Just wouldn't recommend it.

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

what really happened to this guy? At one point he was being named the next John Lynch now he's a burn out...where did his career go wrong?

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

The problem with this guy is that NFL teams no longer value "play the line" strong safeties.
Especially with all the Cover-2 being played these days, both safeties have to be able to excel in pass support... and that's not his game.

He's too small for the LB position right now...
but he could bulk up and get a look from a team like Indy who tends to like smaller, quicker guys at LB.

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

Maybe I have a shot now.... if he stops dating playboy models that is... LOL

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

I think if he wanted to he could learn and be a "peg" player for us that will just fill a position until the next draft or free agent pops up.

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

We should sign him only if he agrees to pay [I]us[/I]... or maybe we could sign him and pay him only minimum wage to clean FedEx field after home game. He should deffinatly give back to our team somehow since we was completely useless as a player, we wasted sooo much money on him, and another team won't sign him. May as well get some use out of him.

It would be kind of nice to have an EX wanna be Redskin, that made ZERO contribution to the team come back and give back to the team that he STOLE I mean was given so much from, to at least clean up FedEx after the games clearly there is no other use for him here in any other type of uniform as we already know.........

But I think your wrong, he will be picked up and given another chance by some other desperate team.

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

hahaha no way hes way past his prime hes had wat like 5 int his hole nfl carrear and our pass defence needs an upgrade and you wana bring him back to compete

[B][URL="http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/06/bears-cut-adam-archuleta/"]BEARS CUT ADAM ARCHULETA[/URL][/B]

Posted by Michael David Smith on May 6, 2008, 6:26 p.m.
The [URL="http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/#"]Chicago Bears[/URL] announced today that they have released safety Adam Archuleta after one year with the team.
Last March the Bears traded their 2007 sixth-round draft pick to the Redskins in exchange for Archuleta, who had just finished a disappointing season in Washington. He played in 15 games for the Bears, starting 10. (The Redskins used the pick to draft [URL="http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/#"]quarterback[/URL] Jordan Palmer.)
Archuleta had his best seasons with the Rams from 2001 to 2005, with Lovie Smith, now the Bears’ head coach, as his defensive coordinator. When Archuleta signed with Chicago, it looked like reuniting with Smith would make it the right fit.
But the Bears apparently felt that Archuleta was expendable because they like the other safeties on the roster, including Mike Brown, Brandon McGowan, Danieal Manning, Kevin Payne and rookie fourth-round draft choice Craig Steltz.
The 30-year-old Archuleta will now be an unrestricted free agent.[/quote]

Lesson Learned - don't screw playmates.... (ha ha ha)

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

I'll have to say I do not blame one guy for sign a deal then stinking the place up. Thats the job of the front office and the coaching staff which did not do a good job looking over film of AA.

I agree we should bring him back but not to clean FedEx after home games. I wouldn't even let him in the stadium. Put him in the parking lot to direct traffic. If he gets the urge to hit someone, let him suit up and hit any fans wearing the opposing teams colors. On second thought, he would miss those assignments too!

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

Highest paid special teams player in NFL history. What a waste. Good luck Adam!

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

Well it sounds like his football days are over finally...? Cut by the traiders as predicated, thats as low as a NFL career can go.....I think?

ARCHULETA RELEASED…AGAIN
Posted by Tom Mantzouranis on August 30, 2008, 8:06 p.m.

I think it’s safe to say that this is the end of the line for Adam Archuleta. He’s failed as a safety and couldn’t make the cut only 19 days after the Raiders took a flier on him by attempting to convert him to linebacker, where his physical skills and lack of coverage responsibilities would presumably help him. They obviously didn’t.

It’s hard to imagine another team giving Archuleta a chance.

Also waived were C Jesse Boone, CB Darrick Brown, DE Derrick Gray, DE Greyson Gunheim, WR Jonathan Holland, FB Luke Lawton, DB Nate Lyles, WR Chris McFoy, P Glenn Pakulak, RB Louis Rankin, FB Marcel Reece, G Brandon Rodd, CB Nick Sanchez, LB Shane Simmons, TE Darrell Strong, DB Marviel Underwood, CB Michael Waddell, TE Chris Wagner, RB Adimchinobe Echemandu, and DT Josh Shaw. Arman Shields was placed on injured reserve.

The Raiders’ roster is now at 53.

Re: Bears cut Adam Archuleta
 

If he was serious about a switch he could probably take the offseason to put on some muscle and someone would let him try OLB next year.
