Chung should change his last name to Dung because he played like sh1t and isn't getting better.....almost Meriweather like.
Let Patrick and Kyle hold hands in Belichick's office while he cuts both their asses
A lousy safety and even worse cornerback
Replacing those 2 bums along with a soft playing Gregory and then the secondary will be instantly improved.
You really have a personal hatred for players don't you?
By the way, reports are that negotiations with Arrington are underway and he wishes to stay.

Chung is as gone as gone gets.
He surely sees himself as a starter, and he lost his starting job.
He will go to a different team that has a higher opinion of his level of talent.
He was always a liability in coverage. That was the knock on him right from the start. The hope was that he could improve on it, but he just can't. He did make the effort, about two years ago, in training camp, but his ceiling is just not that high, and everyone knows it, including him.
This is why he makes so many mistakes, because he feels he has to cheat to compensate for his inability to cover, and consequently you see him often take bad angles, give too much of a cushion, or simply get caught out of position.
I'm sure he made the effort for his entire career. Sometimes people on this board (not saying you) act like players just go out there, fail, don't care, and the fans care more about their play than they do. Its silly.
I'm sure Chung effort was exemplary, but his skills just were lacking, mostly IMO in instincts and judgment on the field.
He was a big time binky of mine in 2009 and 2010, and I'd have loved to see him develop into his expectations, but it didn't happen.
Time to turn the page.

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”
God what the hell happened to him? At one point in like early 2010 he looked so promising.
He's the same player he's always been. That's the problem.

There is no Chung issue. He's a FA, and it's not in the team's interest to retain him. You can only carry so many roster spots or allocate so much cap space to a given position, and to allocate any space or money to a defensive back with Chung's coverage liabilities would be an egregious error.
Exactly... Same thing happened to Merriweather. He looked promising his first few seasons and then, either because of lack of effort or talent, he started looking worse and worse. Only difference is, even though Merriweather seemed to be in the doghouse late in his last season, he still managed to get on the field for part of the game. Chung on the other hand, rarely saw the field the last half of the season so I think he's definitely gone.
I haven't re-watched the Ravens game, so I can't comment there, but I thought Wilson did a good job on Owen Daniels in the chances he got against Houston. His rookie year was up and down for sure, but I saw enough good things to feel optimistic that he can find a good role on this team.
Too early to say for sure, but I agree--he looks like a role player (sub teams) more than the stud SS we need. That is not what you are looking for from the 48th player in the draft.
