Channing Crowder...does it get any worse?

We need an ILB that can run sideline to sideline and fill the hole.
Who is this Channing Crowder person you speak of? :shifty:

It's pretty bad that the MLB is left untouched inside the 5 yard line and he still can't make it to the RB.

He's horrible in run support and even worse in pass coverage.

Go back and watch the game over...as bad a game by a LB as you can imagine. He brings nothing to the table..he makes no plays..he jumps the wrong holes..he misses tackles. I am incredulous to a player who is on the field as much as he is and how very few plays he makes. I am just so tired of watching him in the middle..its like watching the same over and over. Can we at this point just eat his contract?

At least he went a game without making it on youtube, getting de-cleated on a down field block

I've never noticed how awful he is until I've read many posts here commenting on how awful he is. I've watched him this year, and I'm confused as to why we gave him a big extension last year. Always seems out of position, takes bad angles, and isnt really a good tackler.

the lanes were wide open for him and the other LB's to make tackles, unfortunately, they were nowhere to be seen. This team is in dire need of a couple LB's. Overpaid pieces of crap

You are RIGHT!...Just such a BAD instinctual player in the Middle. Did you see the play late by the goaline where he was run back 10yds by the lineman and thrown on his back?..There has to be a way we can eat his contract no?

McClain.
The Answer.

What's worse is having the same said LB probably could have a better career as a standup comic than a LB in this league.

God he is awful taking poor angles ugh can't stand him he should be called Mr. Invisible man.

You could make this thread every week and I'd agree with it every time.

Yes. Have you seen Ayodele? I missed today's game but the man's been invisible.

Please sit down and watch the game. This was VINTAGE Crowder. The missed tackles..being out of position..being blown off the ball..jumping in the wrong holes...waving at running backs...you get the picture

Funny, I got raked over the coals for saying how we shouldn't have resigned him and how I would rather have Willis over him.

He's not very good but Ayodele is worse IMO.

I don't think anyone would debate having Willis on this team. If you're talking about the thread that you started in the off-season about Crowder, I remember it very well. I remember you calling for James Laurinaitis.

Well, it's obvious we should have taken Patrick Willis over Ted Ginn, but no telling that to Randy Mueller and Cam Cameron now. Ginn will be gone in the offseason.

I'd be very interested to see how Crowder would do playing next to a guy like Willis (or Rolando McClain) i.e. a very cerebral type of linebacker, a la Zach Thomas. Crowder seemed to do well playing next to Zach,but he's definitely not the type to lead this defense - too much bark, not enough bite.

Please, I don't think anyone would of argued with you on whether they would rather have crowder over willis

there is no other position that hurts this team more than ILB ... it handicaps the defense; problem is we knew this - we resigned a mediocre Crowder, and nothing else ....

we need this more than WR ...

Well we've had worse ala Eddie Moore, Jackie Shipp ....

But I can't stand watching Crowder anymore. He had two wide open lanes at the goaline and he has no burst to get there. Nor determination.

He talks talks talks, and does diddly squat to back it up...

For the record, I do indeed know a worse Inside Linebacker than Chowder.....very unfortunately for us, he is Aiken A-Dell....

These two jokers should be arrested for stealing money from the Organization.

I have ZERO idea why Chowder was re-signed going into the season.... :pity:

What I said was:

"
Well, if we had done what I wanted us to do a couple of years ago....Draft Patrick Willis...this wouldn't even be talked about right now.

However, this past draft we could have taken Clay Mathews, John Lauranitis, or Rey Maualuga instead of Davis in the first round. All were selected after we picked Davis.

I am not saying Davis was a bad pick, but there were options out there via the draft to solidify out MLB spot"

Now, lets look at the stats this year:
Clay Matthews: 8 Games Started, 29 combined tackles, 5 sacks, 1 forced Fumble
James Laurinaitis: 11 Games Started, 85 combined tackles, 1 sack, 3 pass def, 2 int's
Rey Maualuga: 11 Games Started, 46 combined tackles, 1 sack, 1pass def, 2 forced fumbles

Crowder: 9 Games started, 42 Combined Tackles, 1 sack...that's it.

So, you tell me you still wouldn't take Laurinaitis over Crowder? Granted, they were all gone by the time we took Pat White and yes, we now needed Davis. However, at this point I would have rather let Crowder go and taken Laurinaitis with that pick, or take Davis and trade up the Pat White selection to have gotten Laurinaitis instead of White.

Well, don't think you're the only one that was screaming at his TV when we didn't draft Willis.
As for last year, the only scenario I like better than what we did would be us getting Davis, Smith ANd laurenitis :hump:
That wouldve been a very very good draft :yes:
