Its also astounding to me that Bart Scott, who was such an uncooperative dick with the media when he was a player, now uses the medium to pontificate about active players performances because now he needs a paycheck. Not sure I get this point. Scott was always open with the media and was never afraid too speak his mind. These comments are no different because he's speaking the truth, even Damien Woody is a great read nowadays because he's candid and uncensored with not only his praise but also his disdain with this franchise. I dunno Rob, I remember him threatening a reporter and trying to lead a media boycott in the lockeroom. He wasnt that popular with the media if I recall correctly, although he could be entertaining when he wanted to. His mouth def. outshined his accomplishments here imho.

What I know at this point is Bowles insistence on playing him is making this defense infinitely worse than it needs to be.

That was embarrassing. It's astounding to me that a dude who knows everything is on tape, from every angle...would completely puss out on a play like that. That clip is forever. Its also astounding to me that Bart Scott, who was such an uncooperative dick with the media when he was a player, now uses the medium to pontificate about active players performances because now he needs a paycheck. But he's not wrong about Lee.

What about the Redskins big run in the 1st quarter? Lee had the sole responsibility of engaging the Fullback and shedding his block attempt in order to tackle the RB. Instead, the Fullback literally fucking pancaked his pussy ass. This little twit is embarrassing. I'm embarrassed to be a Jets fan when that little asshole is on the team.

Yup, thats the play that started Bart Scott's rant in the first place. If I am thnking of the same play, I don't think he got pancaked, he stepped aside to avoid contact, which is worse. Its one thing to take on the blocker and get beat, another thing altogether to shy away from contact and give up a big play.

In fairness to Lee, he is not supposed to be playing the role of run-stuffing LB. He is not David Harris. I think they envisioned him playing behind some DL that commanded double teams which would allow him to freely flow from sideline to sideline and make plays.
I didnt like the pick at the time and frankly I dont even like Bowles scheme. They drafted him and then put him in position to fail. Im not excusing the player, I think he is going to be a bust either way.
We are in an interesting spot. Our HC and GM leave a lot to be desired. The way the league works is if you get the QB right then you get another mile of rope.
Darnold is going to save both their jobs. Then Mac is going to get to spend a ton of money for the second time. We hope they have gotten all the turds out of their system. But we know better.

Its one thing to take on the blocker and get beat, another thing altogether to shy away from contact and give up a big play. I was talking about the 30 yard run in the 1st quarter. Bart was talking about the 5 yard gain that Lee should have stopped for no gain. But either way it's disgusting. What Bart is talking about illustrates he's a pussy. What I'm talking about illustrates that even when Lee is giving full effort he's simply too small to take on a fullback? The fullback was much larger than him because Lee is a midget and he literally pancaked Lee as the RB goes by for like a 30 yard gain.

Bottom line is as of right now the only way this little shithead can make a play is if he is completely untouched and has a straight line to the ball carrier. Blockers brush him aside like dirty laundry. It absolutely amazes me how Mac could have fallen for this load of shit connected with Lee? He bought what pro scouts said about Lee hook, line, and sinker.
