All Disappointment Team

dunno.... he's been active for 9 games. I think it's more attributable to Fox's scheming and Jake's blinders.

he's the third or fourth reciever in the lineup. active or not, he's not going to see much playing time.

shoulda just put the cowgirls roster as the body of the article!!

that might be because when he is on the field he's productive.

13 receptions for 181 yards, 3 catches of 20+ yards, and 7 first downs.

his problem is staying healthy, not production.

everyone's production on that list sucks on the field, healthy or not.

he's the third or fourth reciever in the lineup. active or not, he's not going to see much playing time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's nice to have another rational person in defense of Hackett. Perhaps we should be the founding members of the BHJS.

Other than being injured (which most reasonable people will understand Hackett has no control over), Hackett has played well in the very few times he's seen the field. Just because he was active for nine games doesn't mean he got many looks in those games.

And as you point out, the third and fourth receivers wouldn't get many looks in this offense anyway. And why would they? We have two punishing runners and two great receivers in front of him. It has nothing to do with Jake's "blinders." People accuse Smith of relying on Jake too heavily, but the bottom line is that Jake is simply getting the ball into the hands of one of the league's best wide receivers.

I have a feeling he could see a bit more playing time in the playoffs, being that there's not much tape out there on him.

I've said it in other threads, but it really amuses me that anyone could feel disappointed in having a third or fourth receiver like Hackett after suffering through the Colbert and Carter years. :mad2:

What about Landon Johnson? He led the bengals in tackles.. somewhere around 100 didnt he?

so..... it's fox's scheming? I have no problem with Hackett, and I'm certainly not upset with the team's performance, so frankly, I don't care whether or not he plays. I'm simply surprised that as one of the most heralded WR free agents last year that he wasn't singled out by the media as a disappointment.

My only point is that the third and fourth receivers in this offense wouldn't get many looks no matter who they are.

Look at how many formidable options Arizona has. Fitzgerald, Boldin and Breaston all broke 1,000 this season. And while I respect all three players and think this a great achievement, you have to chalk some of that success up to the system in which they play, and of course to Kurt Warner himself.

How wasted would Fitzgerald and Boldin be in this offense? I just don't think the guy could be seen as much of a disappointment considering he's caught almost everything thrown his way. I think most fans are disappointed that he didn't play a larger role in the offense, but really there is not room for him at this point. If somehow a defense were to nullify our Williams, Stewart, Smith and Muhammad, then you can bet we'll try to incorporate Hackett, Jarrett and the tight ends a bit more.

But right now, I'd say our offense is doing just fine. I'm trying to tell people that our receiving corps at the current moment is the perfect representation of "a good problem to have.";)
