Goober Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) Let's compare Mr. Williams to Mr. Brown shall we? Both plays Strong Safety. Both are excellent against the run. Both are hard hitters. One can actually cover while one gets burned. Which is the better of the 2? The one who does not get burned. Therefore, Mr. Brown > Mr. Williams. That was my lesson. Is Brown as good as Williams against the run? not quite. He is a small notch below. Brown is maybe average to slightly above average in coverage. it evens out. consider then that run is more important, and you have your winner. Mr. Williams.

SoxFan1 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 If you've wached a Ravens game this season, you'd know he was a Free Safety.....often abbreviated FS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) Yeah that can't go both ways or anything... So it ends up being you overrating him, while you complain about other underrating him. Funny. Look you are a Cowboy fan...everytime they are discussed you come in and back them, if Roy Williams was on the Bears you would bash him. ok, then every single argument can come down to people's opinion. why even bother then? coaches, players, and fans each count for 1/3 of the voting. for williams to make it, shows that players and coaches also voted for him. are you better at evaluating players than other players and coaches are? no, you are not. haha and if brown was on the cowboys, you'd bash him. dude come up with an argument rather than just calling homerism.

hammerhead johnson Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Wow, with alternates and what not, we could send 7 of our defensive starters to the Pro Bowl this year. Tommie Harris Brian Urlacher Lance Briggs Adawale Ogunleye Alex Brown Mike Brown Nathan Vasher I think that Alex Brown goes before Adawale Ogunleye. Adawale tends to piss me off at times with his poor tackling technique. They teach you at a very early age to TACKLE AT THE WAIST AND WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND THE MOTHERf***ER. How many countless times has he whiffed when an RB came his way? He goes high every time. If he could do something about that, he'd be a devastating all-around DE. As it is now, he's about as one-dimensional as they come, albeit extremely valuable in that one area. Not that Alex Brown is absolutely perfect when it coems to tackling technique, but Wally makes him look like Strahan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goober Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 ok so there are split opinions on what reed plays. doesn't even matter though, since i stated he was good against pass and run. that means he can play either FS or SS. haha way to try to find some way to make me seem wrong.

Demps was the teams FS starter for the first 11 games. http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/303043/gamelogs/2005 he got injured, so Reed moved over to FS.

Something isn't adding up Tmar? ok mediocre is defined as "Moderate to inferior in quality". below average certainly fills those qualifications, no? if you want to be like that then fine. substitute mediocre to below average. i have never said anything other than roy williams is BELOW AVERAGE in coverage. they way i am seeing it is that you guys for some reason are trying to say i am saying differently?
