Quote from: Gmo11 on Today at 10:16:52 AMSo why haven't any of them been corrected after two years of disgusting play? You'd think by now we'd have seen some signs of life but he's as bad as he's ever been. I agree he's not the prototype guard but neither was Flowers and that guy was at the very least serviceable once Washington moved him to guard. He was as bad as Neal is now at tackle. I don't know if Neal will be any good at guard. He could be just as bad or worse. But I would like to see it before I dismiss it.I'm sure when they or if they give up on him at Tackle they will try him at Guard or his next Gig will. I'm not even cautiously optimistic about that.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on Today at 01:41:34 PMI'm not as down on Neal as some. He had injury issues, was adjusting to moving to the right side, and had a terrible position coach. That's a lot for a young man to overcome.
Quote from: Philosophers on Today at 11:00:20 AMBelton has always seemed ill-suited to play any type of free safety role. He played the Cash (hybrid LB/SS) role in college. I see him and Pinnock as more similar players therefore I believe Nubin will eventually replace Belton.They are just making him earn it.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 01:57:00 PMSimply making the observation that stuff like this (1) is churned out by every beat writer of every team in the league this time of year and (2) has been proven time and again to have no consistent correlation to anything that happens when the games actually matter is not "getting a head start on criticizing" anyone. It's just making a factually accurate observation.
Further, I didn't tell anyone else how to process this and other info like it. I was simply stating my own stance towards it. I don't see why that needs to be attacked or falsely framed as "getting a head start on criticizing" players. That was not my intention at all.
