Perhaps, but he's been having a down year compared to his usual standards. You can see him making tackles every game now, whereas in the past few years, he was ghost because the play rarely went in his direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nature of Ritchie halls defense. Nichols just doesn't get the glory stats to win something like modp because of how he plays.

He hasn't lived up to the reputation of being a shutdown corner this year, he's been beaten more frequently than past seasons. It's possible that it's due to the support around him. It's been pretty easy to see that he's been receiving considerably more camera time on TSN this year. Like I said he used to be almost invisible in television coverage.

Yeah...was gonna say he's not regressed in the least...still best HB in league bar none 7 hours ago, Pepper_Brooks said: Number of passes defended? And how many completions allowed?

JohnnyAbonny Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Yeah number of passing plays against our D would be wayyy up there. The point is, he’s still dominant. Best in the league for sure. Edited October 5, 2023 by JohnnyAbonny JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, he was one of the players that participated in hosting local cruncher players (kids u10) at the stadium and ran them through drills. My boy loved it and said Agudosi was awesome!

Why did schmitz stay soo long? wtf with cutting burtenshaw deng swaray and Agudosi? Machino and Schmekel stay? Over those guys? Our roster management is cancer, and the culture of the team is no longer enough to over come it. 2 minutes ago, Super Duper Negatron said: I called it on Agudosi. Hands down would’ve been more valuable as a di on teams play alone than Parker was or Jackson entirely. We don’t need an imp wr, and it doesn’t make sense to have a 30 yo rookie back up on the pr, but his tool kit on teams could’ve over come that. And if that’s the case cut him 10 weeks ago.

Noeller Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 There's gotta be a reason for it that is more logical than "the people in charge are all morons!" because we know that's the opposite of what's going on.

blue85gold Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Surprised about Abu DS as he looked to have promise. Not surprised about Agudosi really. He didn't look that good other than his first game. He high pointed a ball exactly one time in a game. The rest are meh. PRs shrink for all teams this time of year right?

Super Duper Negatron Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 We haven't developed a single viable backup for anyone on defense. If a DB goes down - Lawrence I guess? If a Linebacker goes down... *shrug* God help us if another D-lineman goes down. How the hell did we go from next man up to a bare cupboard so quickly? rebusrankin and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 some head shakers....not surprising tho....I wouldn't say morons per say....Just a HC who has and plays favorites at the expense of guys who could really help, ...and it's not a good thing/look People can use excuses that "they know more"..."must be a reason".....only agree with the must be a reason, and it's not a beneficial one to the team in long haul wbbfan, Tracker and rebusrankin 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
