Because rosengartens a short armed rookie and his easiest t match up when completely gassed. [Reply]
It's also OK that many of us pointed it out despite some here either being in denial or watching with blinders and saying it didn't happen.
No one called for him being benched, traded, or moved to practice squad.
We just wanted to make note of it because it can't continue at that level or else it will cost us games, including the next one against Burrow and the Bengals. [Reply]

Yeah, I mean, Nick's been out for awhile, obviously wasn't in game shape yet, and he's probably just rusty. Not that he's ever going to be a great coverage guy, but he can be better than that. Once he gets the reps in practice and gets back in shape he'll be fine. [Reply]
A healthy Bolton is the last person I am worried about on D. You are just a worry wart if you are concerned. Spags trusts him and will put him out there at 80% because he will get the guys in the correct positions even though he is not 100%. The dude is a warrior! [Reply]

Yes, but a slow one. Especially the other night in coverage. But I get where you're coming from. [Reply]
I've been a huge fan of his, but unless his market just doesn't materialize and we get him for cheap, I can't say I want him around for another contract. You just can't have that big of a hole in your game right in the middle of the defense. [Reply]
You guys are missing it. Nick has never been great in coverage. It was Willie that was often put in the coverage against TE's because he's great at it.
Why do you think we're getting eaten alive by TE's right now? [Reply]
