Keith Brooking? Either one and you are correct.When everyone here pretty much hates Dunn, how does that make him "overrated"?Brooking has been questioned for years now so the same dilemma.Right now, with the current list of active players, Hall is quite overrated. Ever since T.O. punked him out, he has been all hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.F.W.O. Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 If all a player does is make "Tackles down field", then why wasn't another teammate making that tackle? Was the rest of the team laying down I wonder? Was that player making that tackle down field the cause of a teammate whom just couldn't get the job done?When someone points out a certain player, this is what I hear and how I hear it. Sure Brooking is "long in the tooth", but IMO he isn't the worst on the team.So my question again is: Why is he the one bringing them down 5/10 yards down field? Somebody else must be missing that tackle or can' shed the block as well right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him personally, he seems like a great guy and I'd love to have a beer with him someday. However, be that as may, that does not necessarily translate onto the field. I just want to see my team win and improve in the weaknesses they have, even if that means replacing a very good man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Pierce has as many Assist (26) as Brooking either Brooking does not pile on OR Pierce also does pile on. Take your pick.I know NFL.com did not have the yards for loss stat. I Just wanted someone to look and see that the NFL does not think it's important enough to even keep track of.I watched that a lot this year because people have posted about it all year. And it's true BUT many times it's because of his coverage assignment. I saw many cases where he had to break off his assignment and come back to make the tackle so of course it was down field. You can't run your assignment then break off and get back to the play in zero time and the runner is not going to wait for you to come back. There were some cases where he was just overpowered. I once was a physics professor and I know that a running back is going to knock over a stationary peorson very time (it's a thing called momentum).Now Pierce and Brooking both had 1 fumble recovery and Pierce had 9 passes defended with 1 interception and Brooking had none..

I think I have to repeat my entire post. From the bat you accused me of not having any knowledge about football because I questions the effectiveness of Brooking. What footage have you seen from teams gameplaning to stop Brooking? It seems to me teams are running or throwing right at him. If you want an example of what I mean about DeShaun Foster, look at all games we have played against them from 2005-2007. However, since I'm sure you would want a specific example of what I mean, I'll give you one. 2005, final game of the season CAR at ATL, I was at this game. Deshaun Foster had I believe a 75 yard run right off of him for a TD. The reason this sticks out so much was because there were two very drunk 400 lb. Carolina fans celebrating in front of us which made that run seem a lot worse than the score.Now to explain about why I would have a beer with him, everyone that I know that has met him says he's a very nice guy. I was just making a point to say that I don't have any personal agenda against Keith Brooking. Just because I think we need an upgrade does not mean I hate the man's guts.

IE if a TE has a hand heavly bandaged an drops a pass how should it count? There are just too many variables to make those really valid. But what I'm says goes just as well for most stats. that are being kept as well. My story about stats.A duck hunter fires one barrel and it goes 1 inch over the duck.

Jackson 12 games 3 tackles for lossNow how do you fairly compare those stats? all you see is 3 and 0 I think all stats need to be understood in a bigger picture before they can be meaningful.For example any good mathametician will tell you my duck story is totally bogus. ie. 2 dropped passes can't average to one catch.
