Scantless Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 He had a second string offensive tackle in the second half today. Is he being double teamed? Does he have an injury we don't know about? Please tell me he's not done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 He is being held, double and tripled teamed and other teams are concentrating on him. It is unreal how many times a game he is being held and the flags are not being thrown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philosophico Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 He's getting double and triple teamed while everybody else gets knocks on their butts from 1 on 1 matches.Basically, he has no help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanat0s Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I hate to say this, but I think he might be on the slide. Every great pass rusher is double/triple teamed and held and whatever else you want to name, but they still produce, but he has just disappeared this year. It's like if he can't get sacks, he just gives up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I think hes more then likely gone anyways after his contract up because ABE is going to demand a big contract and I doubt TD will give it to him, at least imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 The D looked solid in the second half minus the TD run. But what happened to Abe? I think next year is a contract year so expect some performance then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyofish Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 He had a second string offensive tackle in the second half today. Is he being double teamed? Does he have an injury we don't know about? Please tell me he's not done!Being double and tripled team is almost as good as a sack because it gives the defense a man advantage but I don't think this is the case. Abe is a speed rusher that use to out sprint the OL around the edge to get to the QB. When the OL over commits to protect the edge he swings inside. I think his problem is that he lost a step. The speed isn't there as much. It may be due to an injury (he's been listed with a bad toe) or it may be age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E. T. Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 If abe was double and triple teamed....then why wasnt anybody else on the line dominating?Abe is just getting worn out because of lack of help from others. He cant do it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanat0s Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 THANK YOU! People can make all the excuses they want to reassure themselves, but Abe isn't getting it done. He isn't getting ANY help at all either.As someone said earlier, he's aging, and his contract isn't going to be renewed, so I wouldn't be shocked if he's gone after the season. Wonder if the Raiders would trade us Richard Seymour for him? lol. We need to get some more Biermann's on this team. Sidbury might be that guy in years to come. If not, we need to find one or two in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scantless Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) We're just not getting any pressure on the QB. Babineux had a second string guard last week and just went nuts on him. Edited November 15, 2009 by Scantless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanat0s Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 We're just not getting any pressure on the QB. Babineux had a second string guard last week and just went nuts on him. True that. I guess if I was a coach in the NFL, I'd be in the mold of Rex Ryan defensively. Blitz people every down all day, and everybody you have if that's what it takes. Give up the big pass play if that's what it takes, but you make sure that QB isn't just sitting back there more than 2 seconds without somebody getting a glove on him. That laying back kills me.
