Clausen not part of the team...

So this is more of a personal observation. Jimmy's main problem right now is that he has zero chemistry with this team. He really does not act as if he is a member on the team let alone a leader of it. I don't see him with any kind of positive interactions with anyone. Most guys on the sidelines have their clique, their friends they talk to and such. Not Jimmy. Poor guy still looks like the new kid in school.

I know, I know, it doesn't excuse his performance on the field. But believe it or not, these are actual human beings out there on the field. Little things like these do matter.

Someone give the kid a hug.

I noticed after the 4th down sack 89 went over to him and appeared to be trying to talk him up. Pickles just started staring off into the distance.

Now 89 could have been telling him he sucks, but still kid has got to have some fire.

I feel bad for the kid, but he's got to be more assertive. You can't be that shy kid in school, and be the QB. That chemistry that he doesnt have with the team, man, he should've gotten that squared away during the offseason/preseason. The kid lacks confidence and it's shown all season.

If you talk big, and you back it up, you're a leader.

Talk big, then suck, you're a laughingstock.

Doesn't matter how assertive he is until his play improves.

Saw that too Kurb. It looked to me like Smitty was trying to encourage him and talk him up. He didn't appear to be demonstrative or trying to make a scene, it looked like a genuine pep talk. But, Pickles ignored it, like he was looking through him.

I don't feel bad for him, and no one should give him a hug. If he doesn't have any friends or chemistry with others, it's on him. Y'know, a lot of people can sense that a guy is a unapproachable douchebag. It's up to Jimmy to make that happen and it appears he hasn't tried (other than the Cactus Coolers).

Also, players follow natural leaders. Whether they are vocal or leaders through their actions/play. Neither seem to be Clausen's strong suit right now.

      The running back situation....

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I had everything saved on an old email address and my computer crashed and could not be revived.  I tried reviving it, then stumbled on one I was going to create several years ago...So I am using it instead.  My fault--did not keep the email and forgot password--

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By bandu · Posted

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.is what i am actually referring to in that particular post  all those #'s you are referring to are athletic #'s & Monroe Freeling had or has an impressive combination of size & raw athletiscm & it has nothing do with his size or athelticsm that is preventing him from being a day 1 starter in the NFL technique is where he struggled at the NFL combine & not only scouts but analysts alike also viewed him as more of a developmental type of player rather than a day 1 starter  go take a look at Will Campbell transition from the SEC to the NFL another first round LT that was drafted #4 overall by the New England Patriot,s.Will Campbell was a three year starter at  LSU & was thought to be one of if not the very best LT's in the SEC  & compare his SEC carrer to his rookie season in the NFL? just because you played good in the SEC at LT does nescarrily mean you are ready to start at LT in the NFL day 1 & or your rookie season  & one last thing i think you are jumping to conclusion & somehow assuming that i do not like Monroe Freeling ?which could not be further from the truth .what i do not like is the idea starting a player who is not ready ...just saying

      I'd 10x rather play the NFC North than NFC West.
