Dharma Initiative Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think he is far and away the worst of our LB'ers. Everyone says Peterson didn't do anything today, but they were running wide to Nicholas's side almost every time. I remember a couple of passes that went right to where Nicholas should have been covering and he shows a frustated look since he let that happen.I think our 1st next year needs to be getting another LB to start with Lofton and Peterson.

mtb007 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 And what makes you think a rookie next year will do better? Stop with all these emotions. The Patriots get paid to play too so there are going to be these type of games. Not saying I'm happy, but every time a player doesn't do well doesn't mean you should let your emotions take over and be ready to replace him because of one game.

SaintsH8 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yeah he has played average, but it is just the 4rd game of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThePiszOuttaTheBall Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think he is doing pretty well. I've seen him make a number of good plays across the 3 games so far. I wouldn't be surprised if he still has a lot to learn about pass coverage. But he's fast and a good tackler. He's put some pretty hard hits on some people too. Overall, I've been pleasantly surprised with him.Of course, today's game was not a banner day for anyone on the team. We got our butts thoroughly kicked.

cwell1 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 he's in pretty much the same boat as DeCoud except he's been in the league longer. He needs time to adjust to being a starter and he's looked pretty good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
