Taking kuech off on passing plays...

[jtnc]

Is truly baffling, which solidifies the unanimous decision that Mcdermontt doesn't know what the hell he's doing.

[CRA]

Obvious what he is doing.....playing the 2 very well paid vet starters.

[Fox007]

Beason couldn't cover my grandma right now.

[Miaoww]

Yeah it's pretty moronic. Clearly not running a meritocracy like we were promised.

[DaCityKats]

im not big on Luke,but he has to be on the field in passing situations.considering he is the best covering LB on this team

Easy. Using words like meritocracy on these forums might get you labeled..........people will think you're a witch or a warlock, or got some of them magics. :)

On a serious note, I agree with you. Thought things were going to be different. You ball, you play, you suck, you sit...not seeing it applied to all people equally.

Beason on Gonzales was laughable at best.

[Marguide]

I've been b!tching about this for 2 weeks, and I don't like being a whiner.

Two examples...

In the Giants game, he was very close to a pick 6, but Eli saw him at the last second and threw it at his feet.

Yesterday, he did a beautiful job blowing up a screen and took the man down for a 3 yard loss.

We all love Beason, but we can still love and respect him in a reduced role.

If they coached and played the kid to his potential, he might make a miss or two with a month of NFL experience, but he'd more than make up for it with a greater number of game changing plays. He can't do that on the bench. Teach him, practice him, and play him. If we don't, someone else will, and it could be in less than four years if this crappy DC's play calling continues as is.

[Jackofalltrades]

He's not learning on the bench and its not like he's the one holding us back. His instincts are top notch, he has to be on the field, IMO.

I've been harping on this for weeks. It pisses me off. Kuechly and Davis need to be on field. Like now

Agree, if we don't expect Beason to be effective for several more games I think we should go ahead and switch Kuechly to the Mike and let Beason spell Davis at Will.

[davos]

Davis is mostly healthy 4 games now...good stuff so let's see what he's truly got

Anderson is still solid

So Davis, Kuechly, Anderson with Beason coming in and out interchangeably at MLB or OLB I think would work the best for us atm

Gotta use Kuechly more if we wanna utilize a major reason WHY WE SIGNED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE DAG NABBIT

[smitty_89]

I can't believe some of the things I'm reading in here...I'm also a fan of Kuechly and would like to see him get more playing time but limiting Beason is the wrong approach. Some of you guys have such knee-jerk reactions. We are just a quarter of the season in with Beason missing all of last year. Do you forget he was our best player on defense before he got injured last year. At least give the guy half a season to show us that he is still the "beast"

I agree that he hasn't played up to his standards this year but I'm still going to let it ride with Beason. Also, as smart as Kuechly is I would still rather have Beason out there leading and making audibles as the captain and being the vocal leader even if he is not there yet physically.
