NFL Sports Channel dissifies Richard Seymour

[Rob0729]

Of course you do, they're not Patriots.

Hey I agree that they are overrated too, but I don't think everyone on the list is overrated even all the non-Patriots. The only argument that you can make for Sanders and Hall to not be overrated is that they are popular picks on overrated lists which would make them not as overrated.

I just like how he points out that Seymour struggles to stay with receivers. Thats one of my biggest crticisms of Wilfork and Warren, for some reason they just can't stay with the WR. :bricks:

Lets not forget wideouts aint the only receivers.

Lets not forget wideouts aint the only receivers.

3-4 DE's don't often cover ANY receiver. It's just not part of their job. The guy's point had absolutely no value.

So, Seymour is some kind of " hybrid"?
That's a new one.

Ive seen Qbs including Brady used as receiver, but we already know he cant catch QBs dont we.

I think Luis Castillo, the Chargers all-pro DE would have something to say to this so called sports writer

His 8 sacks last year would seem to dispute that oh so clever comment. Especially considering his first responsibility is to stop the run and eat up blockers.

haha this guy is a moron. i guess he doesnt understand how the 3-4 works

 

[Pats726]

I think whoever this write is...he should spend less hours on Madden an dmore hours actually watching and undesrtanding REAL football...pure garbage...

The whole article is 80% based on stats, 10% based on health, and 10% based on using his eyes.

Don't shoot the messenger. This is just someone's opinion.

It's the opinion of a know nothing asshat on a fifth rate website. This twit doesn't know a 3-4 from a 4-3 or a 5 tech DE from a 9 tech. His opinion is less than meaningless.

Lets not forget wideouts aint the only receivers.

WTF are you talking about? When's the last time you saw Seymour tasked to cover any receiver? WR, TE, RB? That just does not happen.

 

[TripleOption]

The guy is completely right.

If you think so you need to go back to football 101, because you obviously failed.

What the hell is nflsportchannel.com? It's painfully obvious they ripped off espn.com and got a domain name with NFL in it to make it look like a legit site. The "article" is about what I would expect from such a high class source, a complete joke from someone with the writting skills of a 15 year old who plays too much Madden.

 

[JackBauer]

The guy is completely right.

Except for the fact that he, you know, isn't.

Terrible article, and I'm not saying that because I'm in love with Seymour. There are so many things wrong with this:

1. He struggles in coverage? I didn't know Richard Seymour was covering receivers. I didn't know that defensive ends did that often in the NFL.

2. He's only played a complete season twice. While true, he played 15 games in two other seasons. He's also played 12 and 13 in two other seasons, respectively. The 2007 season withstanding, he hasn't missed much time at all. For a DE, a guy who is getting pushed around and ends up on the bottom of piles and 300 lbs. linemen, I'd say he's pretty durable.

3. The most sacks he's gotten in one season is 8 . . . TWICE. Again, for a DE in a 3-4, I'd say that's pretty impressive, especially last year when our DBs struggled in the passing game.

What an idiot!:enranged: Who is this guy? Is it Tom Jackson in disguise throwing more hate in the Pats' direction?

What the hell is nflsportchannel.com? It's painfully obvious they ripped off espn.com and got a domain name with NFL in it to make it look like a legit site. The "article" is about what I would expect from such a high class source, a complete joke from someone with the writting skills of a 15 year old who plays too much Madden.

I was actually thinking the same thing, as I've never heard of NFLSportschannel.com. He probably based his opinion of Richard Seymour from the way he plays in Madden. That's the only place where I could fathom Richard Seymour having to cover receivers.

Which means it was an article written by a fool on a website where ANYONE can post an article.

This guy obviously doesn't realize that DE's in a 3-4 don't normally get sacks. Take a look around the NFL and you will see that most 3-4 DE's have a low sack total. In fact, it's extremely rare if a DE has more than 5 sacks. This guy is a complete moron! Seymour finally got healthy and posted 8 sacks as a 3-4 DE, which is really outstanding. In addition, there really wasn't any help from his LB's to apply pressure as well. So what does that tell you? Seymour is great when healthy. Also, I don't agree that Seymour is injured all the time. He gets nicked up every now and then, but it's not ridiculous like this guy thinks. Seymour suffered one bad injury that kept him out for 6 weeks. I have said this before and I will say it again, when the Pats get OLB's that can rush the passer, it will free up Seymour and he will really dominate. When your 3-4 DE is your only hope for a pass rush, it's kind of hard to be consistent.

I was going to say, that is flat out embarrassing. No wonder no one wanted to sign the article.

Uh, excuse me. Some teams play three linemen and some play four.

Might want to take a football tutorial before you write any more articles.

Don't knock it. Great mileage in traffic.
