silvermike Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 You know what's sad about San Diego? Norv Turner. I'd rather have Jauron than Turner as head coach. Seriously. AJ Smith better be thinking about blowing that thing up. They'll never go anywhere with Turner. Norv beat Manning and the Colts in Tony Dungy's last game and did it again in 2007 in Indianapolis before giving the still-unbeaten Pats a run for their money in the AFC championship game. If Jauron could pull that off, he wouldn't be running a 3% approval rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Ellison is brutal in coverage. No, Ellison is un-spectacular in coverage. For a linebacker, he's average. No pass-rush up front = longer coverage for Keith. I'm fine with him not being spectacular. I'm not fine with that not being good enough, but he's not the only one to blame.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Norv beat Manning and the Colts in Tony Dungy's last game and did it again in 2007 in Indianapolis before giving the still-unbeaten Pats a run for their money in the AFC championship game. If Jauron could pull that off, he wouldn't be running a 3% approval rating. I would argue that the pro-bowl stocked roster in San Diego did that in spite of Norv Turner. Though impossible to prove, if Jauron coached that team, they'd do just as well, if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Smith better be thinking about blowing that thing up. They'll never go anywhere with Turner. Exactly. Why does Turner keep his job? He has failed wherever he has gone. He ruined a very good team in SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Isn't Ellison leading, or at least at the top of the team in tackles this year? I also remember at least a couple of big short yardage stops that he was responsible for. Ellison is by no means a star, but he has been at least serviceable this year. Why would you trade him (when we are already thin as hell at LB) for Brady Quinn who can't remain a starting QB on one of the leagues worst teams? By trading Ellison, our team gets better. Ellison is the worst starter on the team whether your stats say so or not (although this week Fewell may have found a way to change that by starting Palmer?!?!?). Ditching Ellison is addition by subtraction, and if we can get Quinn - if only to be back up QB- why wouldnt you? Ps My statement was totally hypothetical and a joke as to how the Browns are trading all their good players away for nothing..... Maybe we can trade Youboty and Wendling for Joe Thomas, and if that works out maybe McCargo for Shaun Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with him not being spectacular. I'm not fine with that not being good enough, but he's not the only one to blame. The only thing Ellison does in coverage is tackle his man after he has allowed him to caught the ball without interuption. Can that even be called coverage?

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's too bad Smith's ego gets in the way. He build a great team in SD but put his pride over the good of the team. He should have never fired Marty Ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ellison is brutal in coverage. ...and two years ago, some here were crowing about him being the NFL's best coverage LB, citing (I think) passes defended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Actually he chose to stay with the Titans who led him to believe they where moving on with out Mc Nair and Volek would be the starter. But they pulled the rug out from underhim and when all was said and done the SD backup job was all that was out there. Actually he turned Billy Joe Holbert on the Titans -- and Jeff Fisher cut him a year or so later when he showed up to camp having not read the revised playbook. That's when he landed with the Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have never fired Marty Ball. I agree, that was a big mistake. It wasn't Marty fault that Marlon McCree got McKelvined instead of falling on the ground after the would-be game clinching INT vs. the Pats*.

Fan in San Diego Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Disagree. Not the same player since hes off the roids. Have to agree, except Tila Tequila might not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
