Anthony Montgomery Angry about demotion

[freddyg12]

There's a silver lining in this story, although it's all just speculation; we have enough depth that such a trade can even be considered.

Yupp, I like the depth so we can keep people rotating. Word is that AH is getting winded and is not in the best of shape.

I've been hearing that on The Sports Reporters on 980 for at least a week. Plus, there was that thing with the rams center running his mouth about AH a few weeks ago.

I heard on espn 980, that doc. walker has noticed this every game during while reporting on sidelines. Theisman agreed with Doc as well, but said he hopes AH will be good by season start.

The beat reporter for 1067 (chris something) was saying the same thing.
Take it for what its worth.

It was all over sports radio yesterday. But I didn't need to listen to the radio cause I saw him loafing on several play against NE. He looked horribly out of shape. I know it's only pre season but so far I'm not impressed w/ Haynesworth.

Thats a huge overexaggeration, yes he looked winded but he wasn't about to pass out on the sideline. I'm very impressed with him. He consistently takes on 2 to 3 defenders allowing for others to make plays. I hate the fact that since he doesnt make the "ooh aaah" play people will not see him for the value he truly brings.

I agree. If he's not making the "ooh aaah" plays, he's definitely helping someone else make them. Doc was saying that if he wants to be like Reggie White he may have to get in better shape because Reggie played every down. If he's playing at 350, maybe he should be at 330-335. He also said at this point in the season it's too late but the coaches may want to talk to him in the future about what it would take to be like Reggie if that's what he really wants. Only AH can decide that. As it is, the guy is pushing 600 lbs. around on every play. Sometimes more. If the other players on the line don't make plays that's on them, not AH IMO. He's doing his part, they just need to do theirs. As far as Monty goes, if he wasn't so lazy they might not of needed AH to begin with.

Agreed

Im worried that our other linemen aren't capable of it (in terms of getting to the qb)

Orakpo will certainly help...but we dont have any other threat to the qb that I see

Really who is exactly making those plays then?

No pressure at all against NE. AH was brought in to speed up qbs and create turnovers. Havent been a ton of those on the first team either. I dont see a good amount of sacks by our DEs or LBs.

I am not saying AH's health is a problem, but he hasn't made the crazy impact he did in Tenn so far.

Excellent point. Let's hope Monty learns to understand this.

Exactly.
