Fangio doesn't like young players who are erratic. He played Reid because he was ready. That tells me that Carradine is not ready for whatever reason. Could be injury or just not grasping the mental part of the game. Would you really like to tip the offense..."We are putting this guy in to pass rush now...so running would be the best idea!"?

Whatever the reason, it seems inappropriate to bash the guy before he plays a down. Also seems silly to bash a coaching staff that has proven itself year in and year out.

He was pronounced 100% healthy back in July and August. He doesn't have ebola, for Pete's sakes. He has long since recovered. He's not injured, just educationally-challenged. Can't learn the defense, can't get on the field, can't play special teams. "He can get there better than most". LOL. Is he another Reggie McGrew? We'll find out. I don't expect to see him on the field this season unless someone is injured and even then it's highly questionable.

By bash you mean offer reasonable criticism? Maybe we're too inflexible, too system oriented, to take advantage of the quirks and particularities of individual athletes. Is that bashing?

Not sure how you mean by "reasonble criticism." The guy hasn't played, we don't know why, so what do you criticise? I'm not saying you shouldn't question, it's the folks who are calling this guy a bust that bother me. Suggesting he should be played seems overly presumptive given this teams success with defense. They seem to know what they are doing.

He's not a bust. He hasn't been given a chance to be a bust.

If he were so crappy the coaching staff would have unloaded him by now.

I still say there is much more to this than the BS story of him not knowing the playbook.

He looked less than ideal when teams ran at him. Is this knowledge or lack of leveraging and technique in a relatively new position for him?
