Kevin Colbert screwed up

Adams doesn't deserve any snaps, he got outplayed by Ola Adenyi in the preseason. I would give Matthew Thomas some snaps at OLB over Adams .

 

It really didn't make much sense in drafting Marcus Allen, they signed Burnett in FA and drafted Edmunds in the first round. Allen probably won't play this season unless there's a rash of injuries, Avery is probably better than Chickillo right now could've been a backup OLB.

 

Allen, to me, has a lot of potential. I was hoping he would be PS player and not take up a roster spot this year though.

Remember when people used to say how Colbert was flawless in the first round? ... not so much anymore. I just don't understand how uneven he has been in the first round lately? Unless Tomlin is having a negative influence in him, or there has been serious turnover in the scouting department, and we are getting bad intel?

I dont' like drafting QBs back to back for sure.... then there is neglecting defense last draft or drafting players like a LS?

On the other hand... I think the only way we are going to get to draft a defensive superstar is if we tank a season... our record has been too good to sniff those type of players in recent drafts...

 

I think it's time for Art II to step in. At some point even those who are actually in the FO have to be able to see that they have been terrible in scouting defensive backs in the last decade. Hopefully they do an after action review or something and realize this. Just stop reaching for players in the draft and spend the Bell savings on some top notch free agent DBs.

 

I like OA too but he's at least 8 weeks away....I guess you are unaware of the fact that Adams led the team in QB pressures during the PS. He also recovered 2 fumbles which shows awareness and being around the football. Colbert spoke highly of him coming into camp this year and they held on to him all last season after being hurt . I'm not saying he's the be all end all but he's already a better pass rusher than Dupree. He's been in the system a year and I think he deserves a chance but I guess if he can't cover WRs 40 yds downfield....what good is he...

 

Adams isn't better than Dupree

 

2 seasons going 8-8 is not exactly winning either.

 

I think Art II is part of the problem, he doesn't want to evolve the team the ways it needs to. Still too enamored with the "way we used to do things."

 

That's your opinion ....IMO if Adams was given a chance and he was 4-5 years into his development he probably would be. I know he couldn't be any worse that's for sure....
