We need more players on Defense to bring it like he does.. I hate to say it but when he was on the bench trying to get them pumped up some of them looked like they didn’t even want to be there. Hooker really looked disinterested.

I hope Hooker gets it figured out. I believe he like most players have the physical attributes but mentally lose the passion. Did the last injury finish him? I hope not!

You saw his face for ten seconds and concluded he doesn’t have things figured out and he isn’t passionate? That is a lot of assumptions. You know I could stick a camera on you all day, choose whatever piece I want, and make people conclude just about anything. You shouldn’t believe everything you see on TV especially with such a limited sample size.

Good point. I should have added how slow he looked on several plays where he didnt seem to have much effort. He hasn't come close to playing anything near to deserve where he was picked.

It just dawned on me that Leonard leads the team in sacks, with 6.

His injury is not one that you come back from quickly. It takes time to get back up to speed, literally and figuratively. He has to learn to trust his body again. Now, it it lingers into next year, you can make this case against him again and you won't hear a peep from me.

I'm hopeful that is the case.

That would have helped. But Stampede Blue just did a break down of his game a few weeks ago and he is playing very well. There are a couple things to consider, teams are not throwing his way, means they respect him. The scheme he is playing is making him drop deep a lot, it isn't the one cover that Pagano wanted him for which put him in a better position to make plays. Finally, although guys come back quicker than ever from knee injuries, it usually takes two years for them to come all the way back and get that speed they used to have. So the issue might be a little more complicated.

This scheme is cover 3 heavy I thought? The FS has a very similar role in cover 1 and cover 3. In both, his job is to cover the deep middle of the field. This is why a ballhawk with good range and speed is preferable for the position, because taking away the deep middle and generating turnovers on deep throws is important to any defense. I can't say whether Hooker is performing well or poorly (need All-22 for that), but I don't think a switch from primarily cover 1 looks to primarily cover 3 looks is a good explanation for poor performance if he is performing poorly. Recovery from injury would be a better excuse.
