What happened to Ken Lucas?

[Sam Mills Fan]

Back in '05, we were talking about how he was arguably the best corner in the league and was completely screwed out of a Pro Bowl spot. He had receivers on lockdown that year.

Now he's the Keary Colbert of cornerbacks. The David Carr of defenders. Even worse than Jason David.

What do you think happened? To be honest, the '06 and '07 seasons are repressed in my memories, so I don't remember how he played then. But I know that he was playing at least decently earlier this season.

I think he has lost a step. That in combination with our defensive scheme. I stated before the game vs. Arizona that the Larry Fitgerald would smoke him for yards whenever he wanted.

[Sloth]

You put Lucas on the line and let him jam for 5 yards and he's going to look worlds better. I think he's lost a step as well but I think most of his problem is he's not fitted very well to our awesome shutdown scheme.

[Matt Foley]

I don't know, but he's under the impression that he's on his way out.

Trgovac and Tim Lewis... That has plagued our entire secondary...

Think about how we were singing the praises of Richard Marshall even.. and now look at him..

[Sam Mills Fan]

But yet Chris Gamble has really really improved. He's had the same coaches that Lucas and Marshall have. How do you all explain that?

Maybe Smitty fuged his eye sight up when he beat him up?

That style of play fits Gamble better than Lucas. Ideally we would have Gamble hang back and Lucas play up on the receiver, but that obviously didn't happen.

scheme and Lucas is getting old.

I would beg to differ on that point.. I think Gamble did a lot of improving on his own... Like it was mentioned, our scheme benefits Gamble more, in that he can sit back and watch the play develop more...

remember when we were so happy about tim lewis because the Panthers hadn't had a dpi yet in the season?

why didn't any of us think that was because no corner was ever within five yards of a receiver before they made the catch?

[Samuel L. Jackson]

What Larry Fitzgerald did to us, over and over, should never happen to any football team...

I am reminded of the South Park episode in which they stressed the raping of Indiana Jones...

[Jens]

Will be interesting to see what Fitzgerald can do against the Philly defense. After that game we will get a good feeling of what you can do to stop him.
