Phillips to Get Start At WLB Sunday, In Place of J. Williams

I was looking up stuff the other night and came across this...

and this

The second link has a scouting report which names off a lot of positives he had coming out, and a few negatives, but overall, he sounded like he had a lot of potential and I had forgotten that he ran a 4.60 in the 40 at the combine. Pretty athletic guy.

I liked him coming out and wondered what happened to him in Baltimore. But by the time we picked him up, I thought he was just an extra body because he hadn't done anything yet.

BUT, he looked good from what I saw of him in the ATL game (edit: I only remember seeing him on a goal line series and one other play though).

he got owned on that FB touchdown in the flats. Bit hard on the run fake inside, and gave up the edge... weak. He sucks.

LOL, I just remember him popping Turner to prevent a TD, but that sounds about right. I didn't look at who gave up the fudgepacker's TD.

But, there was a reason he didn't make it in Baltimore, so that makes sense.

Oh well, it's not like we've been playing any better otherwise. I have very little hope for this defense.

Jez, we suck balls at D. Same thing every year, whatever this board is confident in going into season.....never works out to be a strength. Last year O was suppose to be good, this year D was suppose to be good.

at some point we are going to need Newton and Smitty to just play defense too. Newton DT and Smitty OLB. I am sure they played some D in high school or middle school....just like how Armanti played WR.

and yes I am 99.9% jokie.

but that .1% I am dead serious.

Am I the only one that has all of these generically named scrub linebackers as interchangeable in their mind? If you were to ask me one difference between Thomas Williams, Jason Williams, and Jason Phillips, I would have absolutely no clue except they all have slightly different names.

Thomas Williams at least lays people out, that's how I remember him.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
