Sorry El but you in fact are the one who is wrong here. I watched almost every game on the internet although I am jealous you got to see them live lol.
Again, you watched "almost" every game so admittedly, you cannot make the claim you did, "Affected the game whenever he was in there." You did not see him every time he was in the game.
Perhaps saying every play was hyperbole but looking at the stats bears me out far more than it does you,
Again, you can say it is hyperbole, but your claim was pretty clear, "Affected the game whenever he was in there."
the percentage of plays that he was in actually playing, combined with the number of impact plays he made combined with the fact that despite not starting and not really playing much in the base package clearly show that he not only made a huge impact when he was in but that he must have been making plays most of the time he was in.
I am not going to argue that he could be affective. We all know the man is an enormous talent. I ceded that point from the beginning. But which Albert is going to show up?
it is an indictment of the staff that he wasnt used more and used correctly, it literally is cutting off the nose to spite the face. when you add in that AC actually played very well when used correctly and that we have at least 4 others who would benefit immediately from the switch back, its simply stupid to continue this. and the stats only bear witness to this.
Again, we agree. But that is not what I was arguing against. My point was simple, you made a claim that was not true! "Affected the game whenever he was in there." You did not see him play every down so you cannot make that claim.
The Vick thing we will have to agree to disagree on, I saw a guy go down and lay still while not stretched out, look at how he is holding his one leg,implying to me that he was cramping up and trying to move for a second, it was really played out by the media. but to be honest and candid, the way he was treated that game, was pretty much the end of AH in DC.
OK, so even if he was holding his leg in pain, perhaps cramping as he suggested, he laid on the ground useless in that play again proving your claim, "Affective every time he was in there", wrong.
Please find me a game where one man was blocking him with little or no effort? that simply never happened, now if you argued that the few times he was in with the base defence that he was washed out of his gap, I wouldnt argue that, I did see him start upfield then remember to stay in the gap and stop, and once he stopped moving his feet was pushed out of the gap, but I also recall several plays where he literally blew up the man across from him.
Look, I am not going to go back through the season to prove you wrong on this. You will have to take the word of someone who attended 6 games this season who paid particular attention to Albert when he was on the field, as opposed to your limited view from an internet feed where you could not see his effort on every single play. Look, I saw him tangled up with single defenders, giving very little effort in the play. On the other hand, I saw him running down field to make plays. It all depended on which Albert wanted to show up.
The idea that he was halfassing it was made by the media, and we as redskins fans should know better than anyone what garbage that is, ffs ask yourself, would shannahan have remained silent on this if he had been "halfassing" the entire season?
No one said he was half-assing it the entire season. He did however half-ass it for a large portion of the season. To bad too, because if he had given 100% all season he would have made the Pro-Bowl, even if he was used the wrong way. He is that talented!
