First Two Sacks of the NFL Season

[Proudiddy]

Were made by DTs we cut in training camps - Jovan Haye and Tony Brown. We may have been deep at the positions then... My how things have changed. Flame on.

EDIT: My bad, I think Haye was in on the first sack but not credited with it.

[Kurb]

Brown was completely unblocked

[pstall]

I was gonna start a thread about d line intensity and real tackling but...screw it

[Kevin Greene]

Brown was completely unblocked

They realized any attempt to block him would have been futile.

[Proudiddy]

Brown was completely unblocked

That's because the Steelers OL was completely occupied with blocking the other dominant DT we cut... or maybe it was the DE Dave Ball, lol...

[Kurb]

dumbasses

[SMACKDAB]

Not sure even how to comment.........oh well.

We also didn't pick up Tom Brady we also didn't blah blah blah...

Point being at the time had we kept them over another more well known DT on our roster this whole board would've been going crazy including me.

People get better over time; Systems fit players better than others....

That's the NFL for you.

Kemo had 36 tacks and 0 sacks. vs. Tony Brown's 52 tacks and 4 sacks.

Kemo is good, but what if we had both on the team. Cutting players like that is a direct reflection on the coaches.

how we ever got people like smitty, williams, stewart, beason, davis, hoover, gross, otah is beyond me.

boo hoo we frikkin cut someone who wasn't doing well and they went somewhere else and got better. our FO sucks.

i cant wait until the regular season starts.

you know we could go 16-0 and end up winning the superbowl and people would find something to whine about.

There is a difference between not drafting someone, and picking someone up, and cutting them. No one is bitter, its just the fact that it falls back on the coaching staff. People make mistakes, and they made one. no big deal, but it happened.

who says they got better? maybe the team didnt recognize their potential. is it not possible for the team to make a mistake. I'm not crying, or upset. but i did point out that the team made a mistake, and they did.
