Yes, he's a good player who knows the system
But he is out of control and will probably injure a teammate if he gets a lot of snaps.
he is just completely reckless
Yep. Absolutely hate this move.
I get the concern with his recklessness, because I have the same worry. But, I'm not sure how you can completely hate the move in general. He played well overall when he was here under Zim. I think adding him makes a ton of sense in a backup/relief role. He'll essentially be plug-and-play. Epps was basically getting zero use (except maybe on ST), so this seems like a clear upgrade to me.

Harris is better...depth is good. I'm fine with it.

Now what they need to do is bench Rhodes and Waynes for Hughes and Hill...sick of the other 2.

At least for a game...they've been playing like punks...Rhodes especially.

Or at least slow the guy or make him change direction or stutter step. Anything but what he did. Hopefully he gets cut. Looks like safety is another need pick next year.
:lol: Dude.....who cuts a promising safety because of a missed tackle? Marcus Williams had one of the worst missed tackles in NFL history during the Minneapolis miracle and was never cut. You're drastically overreacting.

Hate it because he's a hard hitter and "reckless"? Not sure why anyone would hate this move? It just improved our safety depth, it's a guy that already knows this defense, and a guy that drastically improved from when he first started until last year. If he was a notoriously bad safety or something, sure I can understand why people wouldnt like it but I dont understand what's not to like about that move from a depth stand point

Just worried he will see the field is all. I am okay with it as long as he is on the sidelines, not killing his own players.

I think I'd be surprised if he didn't see the field some. Not as a starter of course, unelss we get some injuries. I think Zim will find ways to get him on the field, and maybe at the expense of Kearse. I'm not sure I love that idea myself, but we'll see how it plays out. Zim likes veterans in the backfield I think, and if he thinks Sandejo will be more dependable, he'll put him out there.

Even less reason to like it.

Maybe, unless he actually help our DBs... because they haven't been shutting things down lately.

Killing his own players? He's an aggressive hard hitting safety that is much better depth than what we had. He's going to see the field at times. I'm not sure why him being on the field is a bad thing? So bad that you "couldnt hate the move more"

This is not the first time the below has happened. In fact, he knocked out two of his teammates in this game:

Why would anyone want this on their team?

lol I have no clue what you are talking about dude. That's such a bang-bang play. Sendejo was already coming at him full speed when the WR decided to lay down because he knew a big hit was coming. I've never once heard of not wanting a guy because he once knocked a teammate out on a bang-bang play. Like wtf? The guy is good depth and knows the defense very well. I could care less what he did on one play. That doesnt define a career or skill level. That's a pretty poor reason to not sign a guy if that was the case.

It isn't just this once. It happened twice in that game.

He has knocked out both Rhodes and Smith as well doing this exact same thing.

I thought they signed Send to start. He is a backup. I missed the entire reason for signing him. My bad.

You're criticizing THAT play? Wow.

Sendejo did exactly what he should have done. He tried to separate the receiver from the ball. He led with his shoulder ... not his fault that the other DB's head got hit. It's clearly not the days of Ronnie Lot anymore, but that's what a safety is supposed to do when a receiver comes over the middle.

If Paul Krause would have done that to Drew Pearson in '75, we might have a Super Bowl trophy.

Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

If Paul Krause had completely whiffed on a hit on Pearson we have a SB trophy?

LOL.

Yep, great play by Sendejo there. What was I thinking?
