Like I said, he hasn't been "bad" but he's not making many plays. Granted he's going to get tackles, he's a MLB in an attacking 4-3
Isn't making tackles making plays? That seems pretty helpful to me.
I agree that there's room for an upgrade there. I just disagree with the idea that he doesn't help all that much. It seems like he's making a pretty good contribution on an improved defense.
Why do I get the feeling there might be a semantic difference here rather than a real difference of opinion?
That 4th and 20 reminds me of the 2003 season where Josh McCown and the Cardinals got a red zone touchdown on 4th and 25 as time ran out to win 18-17 and knock the Vikings out of the playoffs.
And not only did Rhodes blow it, but no timeout by the coach, and I heard someone mentioned Rhodes was dinged up. Throw in one on one on Watkins when even the announcers said here comes Watkins? Just a colossal screw up that could be blamed on any number of people.
I actually felt like this time, with Zimmer at the helm, we wouldn't have to worry about that final come back and we'd pull it out. So frustrating!
