Jermaine Cunningham = No Justin Tuck

[VrabelJr]

Cunningham comes on in the NASCAR type role over the RG. Tuck comes on in that role over the LG. Big difference IMO. You need depth in this league and a border line starting DE isn't bad depth to have.

Cunningham has been, per play, one of our most effective defenders.
We have to get inside pressure, and there really isn't anyone else on the roster who can do it.

Well, we could put Gronkowski in there, too, if we were really stupid.

Otherwise, I completely agree with you.

This show we need a beefy speed rusher on defense who can line up between the tackles on obvious passing third downs. If Cunningham performs well at this, this will definitely fill a huge need.

That "beefy speed rusher" was supposed to be Myron Pryor. But he's made out of... **** I can't think of anything weaker than glass.

Cunningham, to go along with his 1 sack, has led the team in drawn defensive holding with 3, which would have led to him getting sacks.

Awesome job so far this year, considering that he couldn't get on the field at all last year.

It's impressive how much disruption he's been generating considering the little playing time he gets and playing mostly at DT.

He's been good with the snaps he gets. I don't understand why he's not getting more though.

I am sure you guys saw Cunningham lined up over the Guard Multiply times Sunday Night to no avail. I would like BB the scrap that idea and play Cunningham exclusively at Left LDE/LOLB where he can use his speed against the Tackle or TE's. We saw how Tuck abused Mankins in Two SB's but JC is no Justin Tuck by any stretch of our imagination. Play him where he's effective and not where he's not.

Stat update through week 4.

Tuck - 167 Snaps, 14 Tckl, 0 SCK, 0 FF, 0 Hurry
Cunningham - 86 Snaps, 7 Tckl, 1 SCK, 0 FF, 2 Hurry

I would take Cunningham's production thus far.

Cunningham is no Justin Tuck

Ok. Let's play that game.

Love is no Haloti Ngata
Arrington is no Darrelle Revis
Ninkovich is no DeMarcus Ware
Gregory is no Ed Reed

Guess the Pats suck then.
