Why Do Our Coaches Not Like Lawrence Sidbury

[deathonwings369]

all he did in limited snaps was make plays and get pressure..

[Therez]

Dont know but I think it's safe to say he's been put in the dog house. Maybe it's his work ethic or something.

[CraigSmackDaddy]

Liability against the run?

[NJDirtyBird7]

I'm sure there is a reason other than dislike.

[deathonwings369]

its just that as long as hes been a falcon hes been eternally da#$#$ to the inactive list

[natod12]

he either sucks in practice or has a bad attitude, maybe both

[Karst41]

He was a developmental player.

Keeping his playing time limited will mean that we can

resign him on the cheap. If we do not resign him, then you

will know that he has issues.

[autigerfan]

I'm thinking Sidbury wasn't as good of a fit for the hybrid scheme. He looked to have the athleticism neccessary to play the hybrid end/linebacker position but some guys just can't make the transition to playing in space. Kroy, Abe, and to a lesser extent Mass & Mathews have done a good job playing this position. Sid may be the type that is good moving forward but doesn't possess the skills or instincts to play in space.

[THE ICEMAN]

Can't stop the run and you could say the same thing about Mass why hasn't he gotten any playing when he was in there he was getting pressure.

[falcons007]

May be he doesn't fit schematically in what Mike Nolan wants to do. Nolan likes Kroy because of versatility and Mass did see some playing time after Ray Edwards was cut. I trust Nolan to make the right call on who fits the scheme and play calling.

This guy reminds me of a mirage in the desert or a loch ness monster siting.My biggest concern about this guy is that he's has come in with alot of attributes to do well but hasn't been able to crack the line-up as yet.Even with Mike Nolan here Sidbury has disappeared off the map.

Maybe he just isn't multiple enough for Nolan can't cover can't defend the run means bench for him I mean even Cliff Matthews seems to get more snaps so that really means him and Massoquai are basically battling for the last DE spot.

If I'm honest I think he's gone this off season if we bring in another Rush End.

He caught ray edwards disease

[J-RoC770]

I feel bad for Sid, I hope he leaves this year and signs with an AFC team and beast it up.

[Falconsfan567]

Well there is a reason for it. It's not just pure dislike.

He rode the pine in BVG's defense too. I think he's just another in a long list of bust picks by Dimi on the Oline, DLine and at CB.

* Then get rid of him and get someone who can contribute take his roster spot. It is more than passingly strange to keep someone like Sid for, what -- 4years? -- and not yet know if he will ever contribute.

[primetime#21]

gotta be something effort wise. if it was something personality wise I have to believe he would be out of here by now like ray edwards. maybe he sandbags it in practice or just makes silly mental mistakes.

[Tribal Chief]

Jay Adams may know better than anyone else

[roddyyoudaman]

For the life of me I have no idea.

I have been wondering this very thing all season, especially after ray got cut, but it has to be something that we as fans don't know.

[JC Falcon]

He hasn't started, but dude there's no such thing as a bust pick in the fifth round. Thats like criticizing me for picking the wrong lottery numbers. Only like 10% ever start or stay in the league longer than their initial contract.

Jamal Anderson and TJ Duckett and Aundray Bruce were bust picks. Baker came close until this year and Jerry probably qualifies on TD.

[dmite]

Why take Abe off the field? I think that is the reason.

[RYNE]

He isnt doing something right.

[PokerSteve]

Considering how few sacks the other defensive pass rushers have and how limited their playing time has been, maybe only Abe and Biermann fit Nolan's scheme or can play in space. Guess they need to cut about 10 or 12 of our defensive players and bring in a whole new batch this off-season personally approved by Nolan.

[kenk]

I think that Sid is our 3rd best pass rusher below ABE and Beer..Sid had alot more playing time last season. Why ? IF Abe cant go we better have Sid in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can bust in any round. Especially when there are UDFA as beaters out there like Jesse Tuggle, Wes Welker, Kurt Warner, John Randle, James Harrison, Jeff Saturday, London Fletcher, Larry Little, Rod Smith, Priest Holmes, Arian Foster, Antonio Gates, Warren Moon and Victor Cruz.
