What side? There's literally two receivers wide open simultaneously in the middle of the field. He was actually trying to run away from this pocket - and people say he's forced out of the pocket. He runs immediately after the first read and it doesn't matter whether the first read is open or not. It's almost like he's not even really looking to pass to the first read but fake it so he can just take off running.

That's a pretty ridiculous statement.

^^^^^^ this

Tyrod is good enough to win against a team that doesn't have a defense like Carolina. He's just not a guy that can get it done when the offense needs to score. We now know our defense is good enough to give our offense a chance to do enough to win.

I agree with this.... I think he can own both teams.

Often times when players don't go to camp they stink it up, at least for the first game or two, then often times you see them get injured too. He may have saved himself some discomfort from being away from a comfy home and dealing with camp. I still think it's important to get with a team and know the cadence and what's going on to play well when changing teams/coaches.

I think it's reasonable that coming back from an injury had something to do with his snap count.

Of course he was, you can't double team a player every snap but he handled the double team. He got penetration at 11:19 of the 2nd and abuses the O lineman at 3:04 in the 3rd - and he definitely contributed to Blokes example up thread. The 1/2 yard line is always to the offenses advantage and Dareus wasn't blown off the line but he did get pushed back a yard - and he was doubled up. Now at the 12:45 mark of the 4th - that's getting blown up.

Dareus may be an idiot but he's far from JAG. No JAG is taking on double teams like he did Sunday.

I get that they have a job to do and sometimes you have to press to get a true answer. There is a point though that the audience whom you're supposed to be getting the answers for - reject that type of probing and now it's just what you want to do as a media member. The media in general no longer an advocate for the public they report to. Get the heck out of the room Vic and stop trying to be a negative force on the team I love. You're sure as heck not doing what I want you to. Even if you hate Dareus - after a division win with a first time head coach in the first game, do you really want the media in there screwing with a player like that in the locker room?

Yeah that would be true if you had a shred of evidence that it was, but you don't. I have no idea what his true thoughts are but he answered the question that he's ok with the rotation and will believe in the coaches that they want players fresh during the game, in the 4th quarter and end of season. Could it be that he's just fine and is calculating his per snap pay? Ok, sure. Could it be and more likely that he's a player returning from injury and they wanted to work him in within the rotational philosophy?

What a totally misleading thread title. He didn't say I don't care. He was carefully answering questions that were clearly trying to bait him into saying he's upset about the snap count. He answered the questions properly and handled himself nicely. He's a heck of a player and isn't out of shape. He's a menace and played pretty damn good in that game.

I thought Dareus handled himself pretty well in the BB.com interview. Can't say the same for the media asking the questions.

Nicely done!

I wonder if these idiot fans finally realize I am and have been the reason this team is successful? I'm going to kill the Saints and go on to win the super bowl and the idiot fans will still give half the credit to our coach.

I'd say 6'4" and 6' are very different.

Thank you for these posts

Now there's a jersey that can be worn forever. Smart choice.

That was pretty impressive. It must be fun to see the game that way.

I knew there was a way to predict players would get injured. Nice job Beane!

Yeah ok, Dareus has never done anything on the field. Just comical....

I find this post completely baseless. On the field Dareus is 100% worth the money.

He actually did a segment of magic on a couple episodes ago this season. So strange to see him looking very healthy performing then hearing this. I will pray for him for sure.
