He's back on the pine:
This was supposed to be "The Game" for Adam Archuleta -- his chance for revenge against a Redskins organization he believed wronged him during his brief stay last season.
Instead, Archuleta finds himself in the same undesirable situation.

I heard this last night on CC sports. Looks like his career is probably over. My only question is what in the hell does he have to be made at us about? We only made him the highest paid safety in the NFL. If anything we should be the one's that are pissed. The guy sucked!

How hard can it be to learn to cover???? I mean come on how long has the guy been in the NFl and nobody taught him how to cover,that just seems crazy to me-
Typically guys can either cover or they can't.
Certain techniques can be taught, but in the end guys either have it or they don't. AA has never been a good cover guy.

The thing that always got me was that when everyone was injured, he got all pissy about being asked to play a greater role in coverage...what a bitch
What's that saying: "look like Tarzan, Play like Jane?"

Unfortunately for him, he's a pass rusher in a receiver's body. He doesn't have the bulk to play defensive line or linebacker (especially since he can't cover), so his play suffers.
If he plays from here on out, he'll be a Special Teamer. So he has a choice to make. Mold the rest of his career after guys like Steve Tasker and Bill Bates, or he can mosey on home and do infomercials for Ron Popeil.

i dont wish AA any ill will, while he did get paid he also got alil bit of the shaft by us:
- leading the team in tackles last season before he was benched (or atleast the first 5 games or so)
- redskins organization count of tackles had him at less then the NFL count which is kinda unheard of
i did appreciate how he handled the situation in not mopping around the locker room even though he was probaly the guy who leaked all that crap last season to the media . .
go skins!
