Germaine Pratt....time to replace him - impactplaya - 10-25-2020
7 games in Im not seeing anything special about this guy.
Im.not seeing any kind of playmaking ability.
What Iam seeing is him getting beat in coverage.
What Iam.seeing is him making zero.plays on.the field
When.This defense needs a stop, he is nowhere to be found (among others)
Hes a liability out there.
Hes hurting more than helping
He needs to be benched

Still need someone to take the snaps.

This team just can not draft good LBers. Hopefully we at least have one out of Wilson, ADG, or Bailey.
Pratt is MEH.

Not necessarily. No one being out there is no different than him being benched
RE: Germaine Pratt....time to replace him - Yojimbo - 10-25-2020
Even though we’ve seen a few flashes, none of the LBers have played consistently well. A couple of possibilities, bad coaching, bad scheme. Their position coach is the genius that goes into prevent defense and rushes only three guys on every third down.
RE: Germaine Pratt....time to replace him - impactplaya - 10-25-2020
He.was drafted to be that sideline to sideline seek and destroy
Playmaking LB. Hes been anything but.
I.have yet to.see him stonewall a RB in.his tracks
Or stay on.the hip of a RB or TE.
On.that TD by Hunt he wasnt even.in.the same zipcode
As him. He has no instincts to be a true gamechanger

Not the role the LBers are being used in this scheme. They are being asked to drop in coverage a lot and play between the tackles. If it was just him playing badly I might agree with you, but this is a whole defense problem. Let’s also keep in mind he is still only a second year player that was a converted safety drafted in the third round. A player like that needs development time.
At the rate we’re blaming players, we’re going to run out of players to blame soon. Maybe by then the fans that haven’t yet will realize the problem is with the coaching staff.

Who is playing well on D? I'm hesitant to blame players. Pratt flashed last year. All the players are regressing.
How can you tell who's at fault.

Careful with that common sense type thinking around these parts....

Jesse Bates. But he’s about the only one.

Ive been preaching such for weeks
Some players are playing well despite the ineptitude of the coaching staff.
But at what point do.you.shift.part of the blame to.The players?
I think.Logan.Wilson has outplayed Pratt.
Pratt has yet to.cause a fumble....recover one....deflect a pass...
Sack the QB....has he even tackled a RB for a loss?
RE: Germaine Pratt....time to replace him - Nati#1 - 10-25-2020
Carl Lawson with a costly high schooler mistake. Lining up offsides.
RE: Germaine Pratt....time to replace him - Nati#1 - 10-25-2020
Fire Lou and bring in Wade.
RE: Germaine Pratt....time to replace him - J24 - 10-25-2020
ADG and Wilson should be playing more but I don't think Pratt should be benched completely unlike Bynes. Who is a good player that is playing way too much just to un athletic in pass coverage.
RE: Germaine Pratt....time to replace him - Destro - 10-25-2020
It's like the car is on fire and we are worried about the tires needing to be replaced.
RE: Germaine Pratt....time to replace him - Nicomo Cosca - 10-25-2020
I don’t think Dunlap has many backers in that room...

I don’t know how they can keep Dunlap around ?

It that easy. Remember we have Lou cause guys like Wade refused to come here. I want Lou gone as much as anyone but it’s not going to change a damn thing this year or even next.

The offense seems to love Taylor and the Defense seems to hate Lou. I wonder if that is creating animosity between the two units?
