Obrien2Toon Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I know it was against Ware, but he couldn't have looked any worse. He wasn't even getting a hand on him. There were plays where Ware got past without even touching him. The decision to not at least chip with a TE was ridiculous. I expect something like that from Schotty, but come on Callahan, you know better. Anyway besides for Rex's usual BS about how good Hunter is, he really does suck. In three regular season games last year he gave up 4 sacks. The back-up there can't possibly do any worse could he? Oh yeah that's right. Anyway unless they do something to correct that (Woody?) this team can only go so far. I'm not saying we need a pro bowl player at every line spot, but at least someone that could at least do a respectable job. I originally blamed Sanchez, but after rewatching the game, every pass play the pocket was collapsing on Hunter's side. Regardless if Ware was on him or not. He was crossing into A. Clarke territory.

faba Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 he played well last year when he had to step in- give him a slight pass going against one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I wasn't happy with his play either but I think we have to give him another game or two before we write him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 This board is in total overreaction mode. So little can be projected based off week 1. Anyway, Ware was in beast mode. The guy is the best pass rusher in the league IMO. And he wasnt lined up over Hunter exclusively. He was lining up all over the place and even beating Brick too. I agree, they should have given some help with the TE, but its hard to do when you never know where he's lining up and it seemed the counter strategy was to put a lot of receivers in the spots they were blitzing from so keeping a TE in to help block limits the ability to counter in such a fashion. Hunter was outstanding last year in replace of Woody, straight dominated Freeny and Mathis. I'm confident he'll be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamont_jordan_rules Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 ... he didn't look good against one of the best pass rushers in the league ... another couple weeks before a decision can start to be rendered ... l_j_r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEJet Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 He was a backup for years for a reason. He stinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damaged89 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 He was a backup for years for a reason. He stinks I think they gave him the job based on the job he did at the end of last year. He handled Woodley really well in the regular season. Hopefully he just needs some time to settle in. He had trouble in the Texans game last year when he had to come in for Woody. It might be that he's just a slow starter. Or maybe Tannenbaum blew it and he's going to be a sieve all year. fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEJet Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I don't think we should be crossing our fingers for a guy that just got a 4 year deal. Vlad is younger, and couldn't do any worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoping4ASuperBowl Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 It would be nice to see him rebound this weekend against a much softer Jags defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damaged89 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Vlad is younger, and couldn't do any worse I think he could and I don't really care to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 He was a backup for years for a reason. He stinks I'm sure you were saying this when he was anchoring the right side or line during the playoff run. Definitely said it when he dominated Freeny and Mathis. Or how bout when he dominated Harrison and Woodly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 he played well last year when he had to step in- give him a slight pass going against one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. I would if he didn't get beat badly by Coleman too, on the play Shonn Greene got lit up. I think he'll get better as the season goes on though.

NYJets90 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Really? A week ago everyone wanted Vlad cut and now, off of one game, he should start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
