Mark Barron another free agent bust

If Barron is going to be lazy, give some snaps to Gilbert, I bet he would hustle out there.

 

The name is Barren....

 

Either way he sucks

 

Yes but Barren is a better definition of his ability

 

Given what we’ve invested in the ILB position, we seem to get picked apart in the middle of the field by everybody.

 

He can't cover and like Bush is too small to play ILB. We are in a world of
trouble here. 5 yds and a cloud of dust on every running play. SF didn't need to throw it.

 

Do you remember, when cowher gave the owner an ultimatum? It was either him or the gm. And, they chose cowher. I believe the gm went to the giants. That's the type of coach we need. Not one, that get players chosen for him and then is told .... go and win games.

 

I know this, but he still hit on this move big time.

 

The Bettis deal occurred before the 1996 season when Tom Donohoe was the GM. The Cowher/Donohoe power struggle happened after the 6-10 1999 season. How much credit Cowher should get for trading for Bettis is therefore unknown.

 

They had to first get through that aged swiss chesse line first...

 

Didn't he have some weird Achilles injury that Rams were hush hush about (meaning it was worse then they would let on)?

I'm surprised we brought him in at all. Or at the very least think he was going to run with players in pass coverage???

 

I also saw him numerous times dogging it like it was practice! He was awful!

 

You saw it,I saw it, lots of people saw it. The coaches didn’t see it? That tells you all you need to know

True, but the actual spelling is Barron. The actual role next week needs to be the bench. It's not just a matter of incompetence. It is effort and that is inexcusable. I'd love to see them start Gilbert. I don't think it's going to make them better, but I want to see guys out there who give a damn on every play.

 

I'm starting to think it's the scheme. We keep spending all this time trying to find guys to cover TE's. Edmunds was suppose to be able to do it but nope. No other team has this much trouble covering TE's.

 

To be fair, Kittle is a great player. The issue is that Barron can’t cover anybody.

 

No I know the spelling but like I said the alternative is more appropriate.

 

old steelers football -run the football stop the run

now we cant stop the run nor run the ball

 

I remember what happened back then, Donahoe was still the GM back then and he made the trade.

 

Bettis always thanked coach cowher for giving him a chance. Heck, the whole offense was set up and featured around bettis. We can all agree, that Cowher was a more hands on and in your face coach. And, Cowher surrounded himself with great assistants

 

How many Super Bowls did the great Bill Cowher win? Stop living in the past

 

Check out Barron's effort on this play, he let a FB catch a 40 yd pass .
So @mac daddyo are you going to defend Barron on this also?

 

Pretty sure I could get open vs him and I’m set to have ankle surgery soon.
