Put Sherrod back in the starting lineup

I am with you on this one. I thought Nakamura was put in the starting role because he was such a sure tackler of sorts. He also was supposed to cut down on the confusion in the defensive backfield with his calls and such. He has been terrible. Its like Ace Ventura II, cause when the ball carrier gets to Nakamura he like this is it. I have to beat him.

Wow, if I were to get in a time machine, go back 8 months and say that there would be threads calling for Sherrod Martin to start, none of y'all would believe me.

I think Sherrod does need to see the field more to help cover good receivers, like Cruz last week, Jones next week or Ramses mothafukking Barden. We should still use Haruki in some packages though, namely for run stuffing.

Martin has potential and 0 talent

No. Martin has tons of potential and tons of talent. He's just had extremely poor execution so far in his career. He needs to start. Nakamura, was supposed to be a solid contributor that could allow Martin to develop. Except that he's been complete poo and by aligning the secondary to cover for his lack of skill set we are leaving HUGE holes in the zone. I would much rather see martin get burned a few times deep but still be in position to make plays then see mid range routes sit in an underneath hole in our zone with no one within 10 yards of them, only to see Nakamura come flying in about 3 seconds after the catch and throw his helmet at their legs.

Ever since Nakamura got the job I have said it wouldn't be the last of Martin. Talent gap is too big. We play with 2 weak SSs essentially. Don't care if he backed up Ed Reed at S....he isn't a FS.

Ain't that the truth. I think Kuechly would make a better FS. With his speed and nose for the ball, he reminds me of Polamalu more than anyone.

Actually, this might not be a bad idea. Hey, guys! I fixed the franchise!
