Pratt when focused is a good..not great LB.. Pratt is not the only player we have on defense that would benefit from a new voice and that is why the team made the change Amen. I am skeptical about a new coach or coordinator being able to turn sh!te into shinola, water into wine, or molehills into mountains. Look at NE's OL last year with Peters, they stunk. But I am a believer in a coach being able to get more out of a player, and the collective, than a previous coach. Be it through better communication, less ego, less rigidity, etc. Especially so when the player in question has a history of good performance (Pratt, Stone) and/or has good physical tools and a good work ethic (Murphy, Ossai, Jenkins, Jackson, Heyward, D. Hill, Turner, Mims, Iosivas, C. Brown, All). I am less optimistic on the guys with lesser physical tools (Volson, Battle), lower work ethics (Battle), or who seem kinda knuckleheaded sometimes (Pratt, CTB). Burton is in a whole nother category. Pratt has marks on both sides.

CTB tackling high again. Wilson runs great but he is catching a WR. Stone, well he just sucked.

We might get an extra win or 2 if Burrow got all the calls. That’s why you can’t do something dumb like pushing him unnecessarily. You know he gets calls and does flop. Why wouldn’t he, if he’s getting the calls? So dumb of Ossai and was happy someone called him out.

RE: Is Germaine Pratt salvageable? - Sled21 - 04-14-2025 Burton will be out of the league soon.... RE: Is Germaine Pratt salvageable? - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 04-14-2025 I just don't think Germaine fits Golden's Defense as much as he did Lou's and he wasn't good in Lou's Defense the last couple of years.

This is true, but I think Pratt's interview where he was saying "quick quick" and they "didn't miss any tackles", but they missed like 15 that game, with half of them being his probably, was hypocritical of himself. Can call someone else out, but nobody called him out lol.

I say trade the guy and add a mid to late round pick if we can get something for him.

I'm not certain that what I read a few minutes ago was correct or not, but I thought that I read he was just traded to LV! Anybody?

Hope we can get something for Pratt rather than just cutting the guy. |
