Brees has been bad. Jordan, Lattimore, Peat, Rankins and M. Williams have been worse (1 Viewer)

[silverbullet]

You have to love the stupid narratives of TC.

Lattimore is more focused this year and knows he has to bring his A game even against less talented WRs. Ha. So far same old stuff. Dude has regressed every year from his outstanding rookie season.
Jordan - Lots of talk. Always quick to mock opponents OL on Twitter. Dude has played a rookie and a scrub and has been invisible.
Marcus Williams gained weight and dedicated his offseason to improving his tackling...lol
Rankins is healthy and has his explosion back....That's why we tried to trade him...
Peat is in the best shape of his life. Too bad he's still brittle and whifs constantly.

I've defended probably all of these guys at some point but my black and gold glasses are off. They need to start producing.

Rankins is obviously not going to get resigned.
At this point, I wouldn't pay Lattimore. He doesn't seem like the type that will play better with a lot of money.
Williams, as much as I like him, simply can't tackle. You can't pay him top money if he's a liability.
Jordan needs to get his head out of his arse.
Peat, unfortunately, we're stuck with.

Peat by all account was a Coby Fleener desperation move because all the FA guards got scoop up.

In be4 @dapperdan comes to defend his nephew and gives us all dead falcon.

Yes they are underachieving also but I wouldn't say less then Brees

Going to be honest.... our dline got beat by 3rd and 4th string Oline last night

No mention of Malcolm Jenkins?

I think honestly the gameplan failed him and hung him out to dry about 80% of the time.

If he can't cover TE's then what's the point of a SS?

That’s not a normal TE. That guy requires double coverage. I’m not sure why DA waited until the end of the 3rd to finally decide Waller needed to be double covered.

I don't think Lattimore was as bad yesterday as some of the others.

Latt's problem seems to be we expect him to be elite every week because he has the potential to be so when he has an average game, we get furious.

Latt was elite last week, he was average this week. You're right, his problem continues to be consistency. But, he was in no way "worse" than Drew.

You think Jenkins can cover a prime Jimmy Graham in isolation? The gameplan just didn't account for the TE to being a Jimmy Graham level threat. He did a great job last week against more prominent known threats with a better gameplan.

I thought Lattimore has looked good so far. He basically shut down Mike Evans week 1 and I didn’t see him give up much yesterday either. He did have that one bad play when he tried to jump the route, but other than that, the WR’s didn’t do much at all.

Demario Davis seemed to do just fine. Shouldn't a pro bowl SS be able to cover a TE as well as a LB?

Because he is Dennis Allen. Long history of not covering talented TEs, especially on 3rd and 4th downs.

The OP doesn’t have a clue about Peat. But keep believing in lies.

Not related but Peat isn’t the problem.
