Curtis Riley

Is he really better than Andrew Adams? I mean Bettcher thinks so, but it seems the middle is wide open, all the time.

I think we gave up a little fast.
seems like the new status quo

wanted to get rid of anyone from the last status quo unless they were a no brainer. Not every change has been for the better.

Will be gone at the end of the year. He's a place holder. If he's still here then we have a serious problem. Going back through the Reese and Ross tenure there isn't one player from the back end of any draft. If there is I stand corrected. The talent pipeline is such a barren wasteland that the team is stuck with Curtis Riley and BW Webb

Sigh : O(
Been up and down

Doesn’t like tackling them.
Not a good tackler and takes poor angles.....

Not much of a Safety if you ask me. I think he's more of an unsafety. We haven't had a decent FS in years. Another hole we need to fill next year. I was really hoping Thompson would have worked out.

c'mon Z it's because he is an awful tackler. Every game he has at least one big missed open field tackle. He is not a starting caliber player.

Problem is we have way too many stop gaps at way too many positions. 3 just on the OL, 2 Edge rushers, 2 corners (maybe 3, JJ isn't getting younger), 1 or 2 LBs, 1 QB, 1 Safety...

This roster is not in good shape.
He doesn't like hitting  
KWALL2 : 10/12/2018 8:04 pm : link
He's a defensive football player. Hes forced to do it. If e liked hitting he would hustle to the ball and play tough. He doesn't do that. He runs into them with a shoulder. Sometimes the other guy doesn't see it coming so it may look impressive on occasion. But he's a weak tackler who doesnt like the contact and doesn't wrap.

This guy better be doing something with his coverage because his run support and tackling is some of the worst you'll see from an NFL player.
