Atlleast Dansby is trying to earn that big contract OFF the field, because ON it?? He has been very average.

 

I think you could hope for Dansby to have a few more flashy plays, but he's pretty much what should have been expected all along, and I don't think he's a disappointment.

Dansby is good at everything, but not a master at anything besides maybe coverage. I think he could be better used if he was paired up with a true sidelines to sidelines tackle machine, which would let you get a little bit more aggressive with him. Burnett was a sound acquisition at the end of the day, and the reasoning was correct in my eyes, but I think a guy like even a lower rung tackle machine like Pat Angerer or D'Qwell Jackson would have worked well.

 

Oh good. I was worried he was going to say, "Our defense can be awful."

 

He could have just said nothing...

 

I have no problem with what he said. Just pointing out that it means about as much as when he or someone else probably said the exact same thing last year.

 

Dansby is not a trash talker, but his mouth consistantly writes checks his !@#$ can't cash: believe it when I see it.

 

The reason I don't mind Karlos Dansby talking is because I think he's shown that his own talk motivates him to go out there and perform. Some players do that on purpose, they talk big and then when they get out there on the field, that puts that much more pressure on them to perform to live up to their own talk, and they like that pressure. I've never had the same disdain for the Rex Ryan/Jets way of doing things that other folks have had.

What I did mind, and still do mind, is him coming in 26 lbs overweight and then still winning the team leadership award.

 

Karlos Dansby $11,325,000

16 games...103 tackles,2 sacks,1 interception,1 forced fumble

Mason Foster $550,000

16 games...84 tackles,2 sacks,1 interception,1 forced fumble

So a rookie has almost the same stats as Dansby
but makes $10,775,000 less per season

Maybe Dansby should just shut up

 

Those stats don't mean much.

 

I dont think those players are comparable. A player could have no sacks or interceptions and still be much better in coverage and blitzing than a player with several.

 

DJ, there's nothing wrong with what he said. But you take these quotes from players and coaches that we've heard over and over again and you make them out to mean something more than what they really are. Karlos Dansby saying the defense can be great is no different than a salesman telling you the product he's selling is the best. Of course that's what he's going to say. He's very biased. Whether it's true or not we won't know until the season starts. Players said the same thing last year and they looked like a monkey ****ing a football against the first 7 games of the season. I'm sorry to piss on your parade. I should just keep my mouth shut and let you be jazzed up about it. Nothing wrong with having a positive outlook. Sometimes I just can't resist.

 

Did he say there was a chance he will show up in shape and not winded in the 1st half of the 1st game and totally gassed by 2nd half????

 

Dansby had a big mouth when he played in AZ also. I live there, used to have to read all the crap. Problem is his mouth only usually runs prior to camp and in camp. Once the season starts you do not see too much of Dansby and he is usually quiet. Talk is cheap Karlos. Only thing that bothered me when we brought him here was the contract they gave him. Stupid dumb. AZ did not even think twice about letting him go because no way in hell were they paying that kind of money for Karlos Dansby. Between his contract money and what we gave Marshal is insane. Our GM should have been dragged out and shot over just those two dumb *** huge money pickups. Like I said, Dansby is by no means a bad player but he by no means is a player worthy of the contract he got.

Ask the teams in the NFC West, they been running over his face since he came into the league.

 

Started reading and I thought this thread was about Channing Crowder there for a second.:lol:
No wait,he talked crap all the time an NEVER,EVER backed it up.

 

He had that one interception thatone time. Also, he was pretty good in run support.

 

Why does Dansby get **** on because he's the only one who actually admitted to having lock-out conditioning issues?

It was way more than just Dansby with that issue.

 

I will take that bet with no problem whatsoever. Dansby will have the same year he has had since he came into the league. Nice play here and there, like any other pro but outside of those few times ? Pedestrian and no better then most players that play his position.

 

Sure, they all should be covered by that statement...as far as Dansby, if you want to lead, lead, but be ready to be identified as the leader for the lack of leadership too!

 

Dominating mediocre teams once November rolls around is nothing to hang your hat on. No one is tougher than us when we're out of playoff contention. Hopefully we can don't when it counts for once.

Of course. I would venture to add in a hot dog and a beer if we ever meet at a game, deal ? I have seen/read Dansbys act since he has been in the league. I live in AZ and hate the Cardinals but due to the fact they are the hometown team and I love reading sports, I have read his rah rah stuff for years. Thats what I am going by plus IMO, he was stupidly overpaid.

 

That's a win win right there. Well I have to buy my friend a nice cold beer so I might as well get one to.

 

Seriously?:lol:
