The Official Cut Durant Brooks Thread

EternalEnigma21 · 10-12-2008, 05:16 PM

1. He's improving
2. He's not the reason we lost today
3. He's a big reason we scored early
4. Who would we get to replace him
5. His second punt was ugly, but turned out to be a nice netting punt. He had a bad one out of his own endzone, but he's struggling anyway and he was pushed up toward the line a lot more than he's used to, so I give him a pass for just getting it off without giving up a safety.

What? Why cut Suisham? He's been a bright spot all season and made his only attempts this week. Instead of cutting him how about not expecting him to angle his kickoffs or squib them when the KOcoverage unit is playing really well.

BugelDisciple · 10-12-2008, 05:30 PM

I don't know the protocol, but how long does it take to develop a punter typically? He has not been great, but to my knowledge Danny Smith stuck his neck out for this guy. There may be underlying issues with releasing Brooks

vallin21 · 10-12-2008, 06:03 PM

Give Brooks some time. I mean what if we release he him and he makes 7 pro bowls. I'm just saying I'm not real concerned about Brooks honestly. We have bigger issues.

SantanaMan · 10-12-2008, 06:28 PM

Whilst it would be great to give Brooks time, he is hurting us BADLY right now. Just check the stats on NFL.com, in both gross and net punting he ranks 33rd in the league (THIRTY THIRD!!! in a 32 team league!), so not only is he the leagues worst regular punter, but theres been a team thats had 2 better than him! ... and that was before todays nightmare.

Special teams overall scares me, another KO out of bounds from Suisham, A.R.E and his 6.8 punt return avg is not gonna cut it, the poor punting, giving up 2 return TDs already. Rocks play and Suishams FG kicking are bright spots in an area that is sorely lacking them.

He certainly didn't help but I wouldn't say he "directly" led to us losing. There were many factors that led to us losing. He was one of many.

johnerotten · 10-12-2008, 08:16 PM

suisham is the man,i'd never cut him.eventually brooks will be better.he's not the reason the skins lost today,turnovers are.

LMsexyAO · 10-12-2008, 08:49 PM

Brooks is NOT the reason we lost this game, obviously.

Turnovers are.

Defense was lights out.
Offense was fairly productive and solid without those turnovers.
Punting was horrible.

Can't really fix turnovers, you can fix punting.

33rd punter in a 32 team league is extremely laughable, that's all I'm saying. I'll be the first to congratulate Brooks if he even makes the top 15 of all punters by the end of the year, I just don't see it happening.

We won almost all the unit matchups except for one, their DL dominated our OL.

That, combined with the turnovers, is the only reason we didn't blow the Rams out of the water. I mean, not only did they not score an offensive touchdown...they weren't even close to threatening.

RMSkins · 10-12-2008, 09:36 PM

Where are all the Brooks apologists now? The kid is bad and they're no excuses left for him anymore. I will give him one more game, basically because there isn't very many other options, to turn it around if not he needs to go.

SUNRA · 10-12-2008, 09:52 PM

Our special teams overall was deplorable. Randle El has to be replaced. Durant Brooks must be cussed the hell out. He has no pressure on him at this point and has done nothing but given up 2 TD's on short punts. Zorn has to fix this problem now.

53Fan · 10-12-2008, 10:14 PM

Maybe they could do like the old days, maybe the players should have a "Talk" with Brooks.

celts32 · 10-12-2008, 10:24 PM

I would not cut him yet. All we will get is some retread as a replacement and then we could be inviting problems with Suisham since brooks holds for him.

vallin21 · 10-12-2008, 11:03 PM

I still can't believe Torrence was in in the most crucial down of the game. ALL he had to do was NOT to get beat deepIt was 3rd and 15 for god's sake . Thats the kinda crap they teach you in high school. I don't know why Smoot was not in on that play. Man I'm gonna have a long day tomarrow. Oh well I guess they should change this into the cut Brooks/ Torrence Thread
