Person says Nakamura won't be staying

[fieryprophet]

On one side, I think a lot of Huddlers were looking at the fact that he was backing up Ed Reed as a positive in Haruki's behalf, because it was obvious that he wasn't sitting the bench behind someone mediocre. But we didn't know he'd be that bad either, since the Ravens usually do a good job of keeping their defensive bench pretty well stocked. But that's why it helps to have film on a guy. Plus, for all his faults, he did fine at his special teams job.

i was duped into thinking he would be pretty good, being that he was playing behind one of the goats.  he liked contact and seemed like a decent character guy for the team at the time.  i had high hopes.  

 

but this mikell fella

[Razeyfingers]

and I still stand by what I said. We needed a safety. . . ANY safety hehehe

[Kurb]

I don't know if that is true. His contract redo had something to do with staying on the roster for this season.

[Panthro]

Glad I've never been wrong about any other player

Armanti, Delhomme, Dwill, and Kuechly

The judo flip was still pretty awesome, especially since he wasn't flagged or even fined lol.

[AceMan]

Damn, did I really say that?!? :startle:

What's been said here about the big 3 (Fua, Nakamura, and Clausen) is what I was getting at in some other threads recently. Not that coaches intentionally pick favorites and play them to their detriment, but sometimes they are blinded by their admiration for that player - whether it be becauee of their character, work ethic, etc., for whatever reason they like the player enough to not see their shortcomings.

I felt Rivera had this kind of situation with those guys and with Hurney wanting to ensure his draft oicks stick, there was no push to move on from them. Now, I get the feeling Ron has as much say as he has always had in the beginning of the process, but I think Gettleman has the absolute final say in what goes.

I've maintained all along that we have accepted medicority for too long and part of getting out from under its weight is cutting loose those unproductive and mediocre players creating that atmosphere.

He was very good on special teams and he would've been fine as a back-up in the secondary. It isn't his fault he was forced to start.

I think he gets cut, and Mikell is signed, even if he's healthy. Gettleman is a mad man on a mission to prove everyone wrong for passing over him for so many years.

[AceBoogie]

Ayyyyye

[Jmac]

Suggest he open a Judo school and put his real skills to use instead of tossing various players around the field.Good luck to him,wasnt much of a full time football player but seemed like a nice enough guy. At least he got to live his dream for a bit in this life.

[Gucci Mane]

Maybe he'll take the time off to actually learn the safety position.

[Mr. Scot]

I don't know if that is true. His contract redo had something to do with staying on the roster for this season.

 

I'd guess his cap numbers would probably be small enough that the team could eat them without too much damage.

 

It is from Person though.  He's been wrong before.
