ULOFOSHIO

I said this in pre-season. It's fucking amazing that I can tell this in Europe, and Petersen can't see it on the fucking practice field because his head is so far up his ass.

We? were so much better without the senior LBs on the field, it was night and day

I've been wanting to see him all year. People gave up on him after he surrendered the touchdown to a possible all-American running back last week, but that was a little unfair.

No other ILB would have made that play. Maybe Wellington, but he wouldn’t have even diagnosed it until it was too late.

It really is so odd that he didn’t even get a fucking chance until a week ago. He can run, he can hit, and he plays with passion. I suddenly feel better about ILB next year. We fucked up the playing time situations so badly at WR and ILB. That can never happen again.

dude pete is damaged goods for not benching the seniors earlier. at least going in to the next year we would have had a more experienced roster with playing time

I don’t really care about that and don’t think it’s of much importance. A little bit, but Ulofosio and others have played enough to get some experience. The problem was waiting so long to get them in this year. It cost us a game or two.

Next year is next year. I only care about the current year. The future is for doogs.

At this point I only care about next year. Play Sirmon, Tafisi, Ulo, and Ngata as much as possible. No point in keeping Manu and Wellington in there just to make a courageous to El Paso. Unless the goal is to leave those two in Juarez.

Unfortunately, it was still happening yesterday so won't hold my breath.

One point late 3rd I saw Manu out covering the slot. I prayed that Luton wouldn't see that.

Prayers were answered. I'm now a believer

Pete does not pick the starters or decide the rotations, the position coach makes those decisions. This god awful LB play falls on one man only and that is Bob Gregory. Not only did he do a poor job of recruiting, he did a terrible job getting the players ready to play. I just hope he doesn't ruin the young talent we have know that he was gifted.

Yet it seems his job is safe...Pete needs to sack up and be a man. If you can't fire your friends, don't fucking hire your friends

pretty sad to hear that $$$ is an issue.

Agree, really hope he goes but sadly have not heard anything yet. My guess is that his salary has something to do with it as we would be on the hook to make a 550k payment right away if we fired him. We are already going to have to pay 700k to Bush if/when he is let go then at least anthor 600k for a new OC and money is already tight so I could see that as being a factor for keeping him.

Well if money is really the deciding factor then it's Gregory should go before Hamdan. Neither one has looked stellar but you can argue that Pete has held back Hamdan unlike Gregory who is fully responsible for the situation at LB. Also 600K is not close to what you would have to pay for an elite OC. That would just buy another Petersen robot and then it's LRR. No brainer for me that Bob needs to move on.
