SouthernJet Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 CULPEPPER, SABAN CAUGHT IN A CATFIGHT With both of the high-profile players that the Minnesota Vikings traded out of town within a 13-month period now officially in the "disgruntled" category in their new environments, the Vikes unofficially have been vindicated for moving them both out of town. Last week, it was receiver Randy Moss. This week, it's quarterback Daunte Culpepper. Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald reports that Dolphins coach Nick Saban and quarterback Daunte Culpepper got into a "heated argument" during Friday's practice. Though there are scant details available, it's likely that the controversy is linked to the decision of Saban to shut Culpepper down for Sunday's game, due ostensibly to a shoulder injury. We initially speculated that the move was in reality a benching, and Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported over the weekend that, indeed, the move was a test drive for No. 2 quarterback Joey Harrington. Defensive end Kevin Carter warned after Sunday's loss to the Patriots that a schism between coach and quarterback could hurt the team. "I think it can [fracture a locker room] if it's not handled the right way," Carter said. Although Culpepper managed to whine his way out of Minnesota by sending e-mail messages to the media and making unreasonable salary demands, he's met his match with Saban, who'll put his butt on the bench and make him watch Joey Harrington for the rest of the season, if that's what it takes for Culpepper to get the message that it's not about him.

4HCrew Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Saban could be another one walking a fine line...these coaches that keep beating on their players need to be careful. As for Daunte, he needs to get a grip. He should be greatful the fish invested huge money in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoping4ASuperBowl Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Any qb can look decent with a stable o-line and enough time to look for his open receivers. Now I've never personally watched a game from start to finish but Culpepper never looked good. Every game he's playing so far, he looks slow, he barely moves and doesnt connect with his good receivers, Chambers McMichael or Booker. He didnt look good in Minnesota, and he still doesnt look good. If they took Bollinger, i think hed do better than Culpepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Culpepper is the future. He definitely has a better and more consistent arm that Harrington. C-Pep's decision making is getting faster and faster, but he's taking a real pounding behind our horrid offensive line. You'll see Harrington on sunday.

PatsFanTX Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Culpecker is the past, and Joey Hairball will get a beatdown this week. Harrington will pick apart the Jets lousy defense with quick 3 step drops. Not too mention Brown will probably run for a buck fifty against the NFL's 29th ranked rushing defense.

Why did the Phins offense get away from the quick, 3-step drop that worked so well in the 1st half? Once the Pats were able to put pressure on Harrington, and force him to throw on the run, he was a different QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Harrington is going to be the starter- we have beaten him in Detroit there is no reason we will lose to him this Sunday. Mangini will have us ready on Sunday is my gut feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week will definitely be a defining game in Mangini's early career. Maybe the Jets will use their 1st quarter offensive explosiveness and jump out to an early lead.

snow_monkey Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Speaking of Culpepper....what happened to that guy? I mean, is he really so banged up that he can't run anymore? Or has he gone chicken? He's looking more and more like Bledsoe back there. Big guy with cinderblock feets. And since he still can't make any good reads... well, he might still be better than Harrington, but that really doesn't say much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong running game to overcome mediocre play from the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong running game to overcome mediocre play from the QB. Unfortunately, the Pats have 2 very good RB's, and the Jets have none. Therefore, one can easily conclude that that formula will not work for the Jets on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Smell from Miami? Could be the smell of my monkey butt after I pooped myself on the couch over Sunday's Jax contest. Oh, well. Silver lining is Chad comes out alive, at least disposing of that element of bad karma. Injury hangover and all that. Jets win this Sunday, though.
