I give everybody a U for unsatisfacotry

I'd give Adrian Peterson an A to A+, hard to say he had a couple of fumbles and only runs on water...refuses to walk on it

Chili get the F for losses to Lions and Packers...one being that shutout thingy

Then U's all around

One major issue I have is that the corners have not pressed the opposing receivers on the line. Didn't we draft Cedric Griffin to do just that ? And yet, he checks the guy briefly and let's him run downfield. I also dislike Cover 2. Zone defense means no one is responsible when they get beat.

Henderson has been a monster all over the place. I think Cedric Griffin has been a disappointment. Greenway I think is o.k. at best. Winfield is excellent. Kenechi is non-existent. Where is Erasmus James ? What happened to Kevin Williams ? Dwight Smith has been good. Williamson is a major disappointment. Wade is mediocre at best.

Adrian Peterson is a total stud (duh) ! Just had to add that.
;D

LOL do you watch the games???? kenechi non existent? griffin has been playing really well lately, williamson has done well with the chances hes gotten so i dont know what your seeing

- Secondary: B
- Special Teams: D
- Coaching: D

Off Line:
C (They have to pass block too)
Def Line:
D (No pressure....B+ LMAO)

How in the hell does the LB's get a C and the DB's get a B?
Our pass D is pathetic!
At least EJ and CG have been solid.
Who has been solid in the Secondary?
Nobody!

Underrated: Kleinsasser, C. Taylor, Winfield, Rice.

AW underrated?
Note to all:
He has never, ever been known as a better than avergae cover guy...ever.
In college he was not.
He is average vs. the pass and above average vs. the run.

- Coaching: D

Qb-
Rb:A
Off.Line:C
Receivers
Def.Line:C
Linebackers:C+
Secondary:C-
ST:B
Coach
Overall rating:C-

Why give the special teams a D?
I don't think they deserve an A but a D?

Punter - A-.
He has shancked a couple but has done pretty well this year.
Kickoffs - B-.
Longwell seems to be getting the ball deeper at times.
FG.
B+.
Coverage/Tackling.
B-. Need to improve here a bit but overall, not as bad as I anticipated it was gonna be this year.

Nice thread by the way.
;D

Childress/coaching staff....F-

QB....D

RB...A (pretty hard to improve our running game)

OLine C- (still cant pass protect)

WR....D

ST...C

D.... D...no pressure, not a single person on the D knows how to cover

Cant believe the EXACT problems we had last year arer our main problems this year...Nice job Dickless

Guys, this is basically Greenway's rookie year.
Cut him SOME slack.
Jesus.

3-6.

That is the only thing that matters
