Default James Sanders is the Weak Link

Consistently getting beaten, slow, out of position. He's a liability on the field. If it weren't for Meriweather, Mason would have scored on the long pass Meriweather broke up at the last minute.

Sit James Sanders. Now.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I wondered why they signed him to such a big contract (for him).

McGowan comes in off the street and is doing pretty well. Springs could probably play safety in a dime package. Chung could play.

I wouldn't say Sanders is the weakest link , he is good , but needs to work harder at filling the gaps and following tightly the Receiver. .


Mason gets by Sanders ,Meriweather came all the way across ,knocks it away and covers up for J. Sanders

Sanders isn't that bad, Meriweather is just becoming a beast.

I think Sanders is an acceptable third safety, but is indeed a liability as a starter. His biggest problem is taking bad tackling angles in space, compounded by poor lateral agility. He misplayed the tackle on Rice's 50 yard run yesterday, and that's only the latest in a long series of big plays given up by Sanders when he needs to come up and make a tackle in space. Given that in the Pats defense he often ends up with free safety responsibility, missing tackles like that is a huge problem.

Kasmir hits the nail right on the head. Sanders needs to sit.

I think that McGowan is going to take a lot of snaps away from Sanders this year. And JS likely won't be with the team in 2010, because Chung will probably be ready by then.

You do realize being the third safety doesn't mean he'll be sitting, right?

Guyton was the one that let rice get the 50 yrd so do you want to cut him too.

Sanders is a SS type guy. He cleans up the mess the front 7 creates he was or never will be the lighter faster coverage safety.He is not fast enough.
so not sure what you are talking about . if your statement is correct would it no be DC who needs to firing for asking him to do something he is not comfortable with.

Yesterday merriweather was all over the field which means you need a safety who can clean up the mess and that is what sanders is. Troy ,reed all makes play as they know they have another safety back their to cleanup.
