Rk_Bills86 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I have to imagine that he could NOT be any worse then Klein. And to make a small note - it's not like Klein is a bad player - his football IQ is actually really high - but he's an example of a player that is literally JUST too slow (i'm not even talking by a lot either). He's always a half to one step behind. It's so hard to be upset every time I see him just short of being in the right position, or a step too slow to make the play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Maybe if they define a role for him and only ask him to do specific things, then maybe he might make an impact. He's an athlete for sure. Is it coaching? Is he a numbskull and can't comprehend schemes? Does he gamble and get burned too much? I remember there was some hype on him in 2016 but he didn't really do much. Again, maybe if they use him only in certain packages he could have an impact.

3rdand12 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 1 hour ago, EmotionallyUnstable said: not targeted necessarily directly at this comment, but all that are related: ive been very critical of the Lb this year thus far, but to those that want them out, benched, gone, etc...what’s the alternative? Can Matt Barkley play MLB? A street free agent? Ya still need back ups... I know you were kidding but guess what, everyone!?!?! Our Lbs are weak, and the vulnerability of the defense. instead of continuing to harp on the lack of talent and depth, I am moving my criticisms to the coaching staff. Now, I cannot blame them for a missed tackle, or a bad read, but you can demand that the staff be more aware of the lack of talent and require less of these players by trying to scheme out of it. maybe I’m completely wrong, but I’d Tremaine and Klein are struggling, it’s up to the staff to get them into a better position to be successful. I approve. Dance with who brung ya kinda think. Here we are. Make the best of it Coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they let that talent go if he wants to play. Plus, he loves North Carolina and has indicated a willingness to stay close to the organization in retirement.

There was an incident at some music fesitval where he got in a verbal fight with his girlfriend and had to be physically restrained. There were also reports of a poor work ethic while with the Jets. Maybe he can turn his career around but I wouldn't hold my breath. Are you sure it was PEDs? I assumed street drugs 51 minutes ago, Kwai San said: Holy Crap!! A supahstah in the making!!!!

MiltonWaddams Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I think it will all be fine unless they ask him to tackle, provide pass coverage, or stop the run.

I assumed street drugs Looked into it further as his wikipedia page needs edits. I guess he was suspended the last four games in 2018 for violating the league's substance abuse policy (probably weed in which he's an idiot as you have to test positive at leat three times I believe to get a four game suspension). It's unclear why he was suspended the first four weeks of this season as a free agent. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2020/09/nfl-suspends-lb-darron-lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
