dave mcbride Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Do you have the games on tape from last year? If not, has it occurred to you that you might be wrong? I've have yet to hear one specific play where somebody felt he was dogging it or that he looked worn out. 668603[/snapback] what i saw from him last year (and i watched the games) was a one-trick pony show - relying on his quickness to shoot the gap pretty much every play despite the fact that he had no help beside him to clog the middle effectively. it works fine when he has a pat williams or tony siragusa next to him, but not so well when he doesn't. there's a reason that he wears out his welcome pretty much wherever he goes -- seattle, baltimore, oakland, and now buffalo. anyway, as a gap shooter last year, he wasn't very productive in terms of tackles and pressure.

It had no strategy, identity, cohesion, etc. Adams just got frustrated, IMO, the way Moulds and McGahee and others did and just freelanced. The coaches lost control of the team. I just don't think one can say with any confidence that Adams cannot play at a high level still, especially if he is rotated with three other pretty solid players, which could have happened with Triplett, Anderson and a #1 or #2 pick.
