And there's the rub.

I was a pretty vocal Parker defender for a long time, but his lack of energy and unwillingness to get in there and disrupt a play was maddening. If he didn't have a clear shot at the ballcarrier, he wasn't going to go down there and try to engage a blocker quickly enough to free up someone else to make the hit. Instead he'd hang back, let the OL get to the second level and come to him while they fanned out and found guys to hit.

He was a MASSIVE liability in run-support because he simply wouldn't get up there and play team defense. They needed him doing things to occupy guys and allow other people to do their jobs and he just wouldn't do those things.

When the heart just doesn't seem to be there anymore, I'm pretty hard-pressed to find a lot of sympathy for him.

Maybe...<br /><br />

...but maybe if he would have tried a little harder on tackling, this wouldn't have happened

Ron,

CALL ME!!!!!!!!!

Yikes.

Thats some cold shit.

There has to be something that we don't know about Parker, right? I mean, with Berry being iffy, and him still being the one cut doesn't make sense. Don't get me wrong, his play has been bad. I won't miss him being around to blow assignments. But there are other guys who are inactive every week that could have been cut first. There is an OL Jimmy Murray. No idea who he is. I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't have been missed. But whatever.

Parker cut.

Suppose we think LDT is near 100% and is too good not to have in there. Who sits?

Erving.

Looks like Berry will try to play, then.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

****ing good. He’ll get his ring. Just stay off the ****ing field.

Yep, Bill's about to sign him up.

Bill probably already understands our defense better than Parker.
