Nas Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 There's nothing to turn around...literally nothing The attitude... Look I wasn't too crazy about picking him in the 1st round... but if this kid has talent, we can't afford trading or cutting anyone at CB... Personally I think Jenkins and DRC are superb... but this kid has the potential to be a star... I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Apple? If we're just talking physical talent.... he has that. All the physical talent anybody could want. From the neck up though?.... doubtful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 He's too cheap on a rookie contract to cut. Give him a chance under the new coaches, see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's tall and can press, also he has terrible ball skills, can't track the ball and is awful in trail technique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same way the airlines talk about water landings as if that's different than crashing into the fucking ocean. Agreed, in principal though, Apple isn't the greatest, but he's young and he's not the worst. Just think that the new coaches at least have something to work with there as opposed to starting anew.

Bigblue25 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Trade not cut Who bails us out though? If teams want a corner they probably just draft one in a very deep class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think it is ridiculous. This is something I've been reading a lot about the last few weeks and people are not just talking about trading Apple, they talk about Jenkins as well. New GM, coach and staff; Every player is starting with a clean slate so the suspensions from last season are not issues for the upcoming season.

Exactly... there were a lot disgruntled players because the HC was a moron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Players playing badly because the coach is not an excuse. Fact is those guys are the ones who need to be an example of. Apple regressed last year with a shitty attitude and highlighted the warnings about him pre draft. He costs fuck all so keep him another year but keep the lease short. Frankly there were practice squad players and cut players who played far better than he did last year and talked less. The best i am hoping here is that it is another corey webster late bloomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 If you really think about it,as much as mcadoo may have sucked,this years performance has more to do with the players than it has him. He just couldnt cope in the end and made a disastrous decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to get rid of Eli Apple because of his poor second season and immaturity is at best a knee jerk reaction and at worst; foolishness.

Wanting to get rid of Eli Apple because of his poor second season and immaturity is at best a knee jerk reaction and at worst; foolishness. Cutting a guy who literally took himself out of a game isn't a message. He's a backup at best. He won't be missed. I just said hold onto Apple if they want, but if they cut him then fine. You should be better in your second year but he didn't cover worth a shit, didn't tackle worth a shit and spent whatever time he was on the field waving his finger at receivers when they either missed a catch or was overthrown.

Let's not compare it to the military Nas, different worlds. If you worry about the morale, just go back to the video of Eli being interviewed after being benched, while the guy is holding back tears, in the background you can hear guys laughing and playing music. Morale works both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
