Do you know why we haven't been able to cover TE's in years?  Ever since Mike Peterson began his decline we've had problems covering TE's.  The reason why TE's always have good days against us in the middle of the field is because since Mike Peterson fell out of his prime we haven't had a middle linebacker who had the athleticism to cover TE's in space.  Is it all his fault?  No.  Is it mostly his fault?  Yes.

 

He is not a 3 down linebacker.  He is a tackler (who's missed a LOT of tackles so far this year BTW) who doesn't get off blocks well.  I challenge you to watch him in San Diego this week.  Mark down how many yards were gained after every one of his tackles.  One stop for no gain per game vs giving up 5-6 yards every other time he tackles somebody is not a good LB.  It's a shame that Russel Allen had the head problems he had because the play was actually better when he stepped in at MLB when Poz got hurt.

 

No, not really.  An MLB is not mostly responsible for a TE.  I'd say that belongs to the OLBs and the SS.

 

I watch him every game.  He whiffed a couple times this past game but it wasn't a situation where other guys wouldn't have whiffed too.

 

These "many" missed tackles you are referring to do not exist.  Stop hating.

what is an Alfie

You mean while we were getting blown out every game?

So, we should cut him and get blown out worse? :-0

We had the 5th ranked defense the year he came in.... learn to google

 

and most losses were close.  not "blowouts"... again, google bro

That's been established. Along with the other 10 players on defense.

 

Don't try to flip flop now, you were sitting here bashing the guy and his "hipster" friends, instead of acknowledging his breakdown has some credibility, you're such a clown.

---

He's an slightly average linebacker on a below average team. He's good in run support average in coverage. What do you suggest? Cut him and start JT Thomas? The thing is I know how important he is and what his absence means when he's not on the field. Look no further than week 1 during Sproles 50 yard run.

 

"The other big area of concern with Posluszny is teams are now picking on him more than they used to in pass coverage. According to Pro Football Focus, Posluszny is the second worst graded player overall on defense, the second worst graded player in pass coverage and has the second most missed tackles on the team."

 

He's not average at anything.  He's bottom of the league.

So you don't agree Poz is struggling? You've proven yourself to be incompetent if that's the case.

They won't listen, he's the best Mike linebacker in the league, he has cool hair and a big heart, and sometime his nose bleeds like JJ Watt, he's so awesome!

Lol, these stats you could say about every MLB on every team. They don't pass cover and they are gonna miss sometimes as many as they make. RBs do make a LB miss once in a while.

I don't know.  he hasn't been at his best but it's mostly because of the people around him not doing enough.  Hence why he has to make almost every tackle.

 

What have you proven?  Nothing.  You posted your beloved mentor's article that analyzed ONE PLAY.

No, just recognize that he needs to be replaced quickly.  MLB, TE, and Safety are still the biggest needs on this defense.  Failing to recognize bad play from a grossly overpaid player will only make it worse.

 

Lewis at least is one of the best blocking TE's in the league who is average at catching.

Wow, such a clueless post. You don't need stats from PFF to tell you the man is struggling, just watch him and the rest of our linebackers play. PFF only confirms what your eyes should be telling you, I guess it's hard to see with those cool Poz shades you have on.

I said it on the first page, people here love Poz for some reason that I can't understand.

Listen to yourself.  You have been on this witch hunt against the best player we have on defense, but when it comes to that arm pit with eyes (aka Alfie) YOU GOT HIS BACK

Hahahha I must say Badger, your truly crack me up.

Check. Add four more positions we need pro-bowlers. He's not gonna be replaced quickly unless Winn Dixie has some Probowl LBs on staff.


TEs play defense? :-P

Maybe it has something to do with him being all over the field hitting people.... idk, just a guess.  You don't appreciate players with heart apparently.  To each their own.

I'm guessing you're one of Alfie's hipster BCB minions.

If Poz is the best player on the Jags defense then we're deep you know what.

You seriously think he's the best player on our defense?!?  Marks says hello.
