SI's All Disappointment Team...

Look who made there mark as DOn Banks starting guard for his all disappointment team of 2008. lol I guess Fox and Hurney are better evaluators of talent than we give them credit for considering cutting Wahle was a big question mark at the beginning of the year.

"Offensive guard

Mike Wahle, Seattle -- The Seahawks snapped Wahle up in free agency, hoping he could solve the problem they've had at left guard since Steve Hutchinson got away to Minnesota. But Wahle's mediocre play only contributed to Seattle's season-long offensive line issues, and he was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury after just 10 games.

Ken Hamlin was also on the list, another guy who even I was begging for us to snap up in FA. Godfrey has been playing better than a rookie who played CB in college should be, so no complaints out of me and our new #30.

I'm SHOCKED by this one. It's amazing what one good game against Michigan can do for your draft status.

Outside linebacker

Vernon Gholston, Jets -- And to think that the Ohio State linebacker at one point was considered a candidate to go first overall in last April's draft. New York took him sixth overall, and he was hands-down the biggest disappointment of the first round. By season's end, he wasn't even making the game-day active roster. His 13 tackles, no sacks, no fumbles forced and no interceptions make him our easiest pick of all.

I couldn't believe some people were calling this guy a better DE than Long last year. He was a one trick pony in college that did nothing but rush the QB every single play. Only 37 tackles and no pass defenses (senior year) are terrible numbers for someone that was supposedly dominant.

I was on the Gholston Bandwagon for a minute, but then I really paid attention to him in the championship game last year. I saw way too much half assed effort in that game.

All those people that think Peppers takes plays off, need to go back and watch some of Gholstons' college footage, and you will see what taking plays off really means.

    • Good write up OP..... I may be the outlier here but I like our WR sans XL. Metchie is sneaky good and just like Dowdle last year he WILL BE the biggest under the radar singing of this year FA moves. I am warming up to the idea of Sadiq at 19 over defense. I'm just ready for every BY excuse to be gone, he doesn't have this or that. No he just sucks and we need to move on. Honestly I've said it before but this team has been depleted of so much talent over the years we really could go BPA and be fine. In DM I trust..........for now 
    • Like I said darnold is making people into morons.   For every 1 darnold there are 125 kenny Picketts
    • He's not Cam brother. Disrespectful to Cam at this point to keep mentioning them together. That's just my opinion. We all agree we need the young guys to step up. They have to varying degrees. But they're still learning. Especially the rookies. Guys like Miller and Moose need to take another step and we hope they will get there. Both need to add some bulk in the offseason. Kalk too. We can give them a little grace though. We extended the same courtesy to LaMelo in his earlier years. Many excuses were afforded to him. I agree completely that we need to see both offensive evolution and development under Lee. I feel like the team in some aspects has taken a step back at times under his watch. That can't continue. I hope it all comes together. We'll see. But that clock is ticking and there should be NO excuses after this upcoming season. No more embarrassment please.
