Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

This guy has been burned everytime they throw at him. He's a slow white boy, and I really think he's a liability in coverage and offenses will continually attack him. Anyone agree or disagree on this one?

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

agree. he sure laid a wicked hit on that guy though......the guy who scored a TOUCHDOWN...

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

I was thinking the same thing, I hope it is just him getting comforable in a new system.

T-minus 10 seconds till someone pipes in with the I trust the coaches mantra

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

I trust the coaches

Now for the its just preaseason mantra....

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

I'm tired of all the worrying.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

I am so glad this post is up. Adam Arch SUCKS!!! I am really missing Ryan Clark right now(except that stiff arm from hell by LT). Every single time a long pass is completed A.Arch is toast on the play.

I understand we arent running stunts at the QB, but being a DB you have to be able to cover a little. He hasnt covered a soul. I dont want Sean Taylor to develope bad feeling toward A.Arch b/c he is stinking the place up.

Oh yea, wasnt he supposed to be a HARD hitting safety? I havent seen a solid lick on any opposing player

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Its just preseason... Ok do i get a prize?

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Matt, didn't recognize you without the "yawn".

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Seriously though, I am concerned about Arch. I've said it before. He's getting exposed like a Tara Reid nipple out in the open field. I think honestly we're going to have to trust the coaches here. Trust Williams, Gray, and Blache especially to mask his deficiencies. It's part of what makes them great coaches.

If it's any consolation, Matt Bowen has been hurt almost all preseason and is expected to miss the first game of the regular season

Trust in the Coaches it will be all right.Why worry it's just a little cool-aid.:drink

LOL

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

when he was signed the general thought (from what i gathered) was "hey look, an expensive matt bowen".

GW wanted him cause in run support he won't let alstott or LT toss him aside for the game winning play. in pass coverage he's looked pretty bad though. we'll see how he does in a real scheme that tries to hide his shortcomings soon enough.

Im so gonna remember the name of this thread so I can bring it up during the season. A double YAWN.....

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

I'm more concerned about Springs being out for to long. Man does are secondary look bad with out him. Arch will b a solid safety for us. I don't think He's really that slow.

He does hit hard, when he hits. He seems too small..not scary enough....

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

aa is what he is. a good run supporter thats lacking in cover skills. sounds like a certain safety playing in dallas

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Look, I'm not a "have faith" in the coaches guy. But you can't possibly suggest that this coaching staff has anything less than the highest degree of knowledge and experience.

So, if they see Arch is not getting the job done in M2M coverage, are they really going to put him in that position during the regular season?

There are some solid things the guy brings to the table. In the right scheme, I think he can be a huge contributor to this D. But he can't be left man up against #1 WRs. And I don't think GW will do that during the regular season.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

I'm not worried. Remember he's the only starter in the secondary who wasn't with the team last year. He's still learning the schemes and everything else about this defense. He will be a solid player, mark my words. Will he be a superstar? No. Will he be a liabilty? No, again.

Someone said he has had no good hits against anyone. Guess they weren't watching the same games I was. Just last night, one of his tackles was solid enough to make the receiver cough the ball up. Looked like a fumble to me - the play that the Skins challenged, but they lost the challenge.

He will be fine and right now the play of any of the defensive players is the least of my worries. Unless the "D" learns how to score points, I'm much more worried about our offensive lack of production and our poor special teams efforts.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

AA isn't slow per say (he ran 4.42 at the combine and 4.37 at private workouts, an record for NFL strong safety). His main problem is he can't read offenses for shit...and if you can't anticipate the play you're probably going to be out of position.

There is no logical reason why he should be covering WR. If he can cover TE I'll be happy.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Has anyone seen or heard how Ryan Clark has looked in Pitt?
I must admit, I was a big RC fan, and thought he was a great value to the team.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

its just bc of new system but arch is a good player you will see

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Arch sucks. But GIbbs is the man so i have to trust the coaches and hope that they can make this guy real good for us.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

It's no secret that Williams likes to expose his players in preseason. "It makes them easier to coach" is a phrase I've heard him use more than once. He knows what he's doing. :)

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

gregg williams does all those different packages so he won't constantly be in a position where he has to cover but if the right quarterback audibles into the right thing we are screwed cause he has looked horrible in coverage!

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

when we corner blitz,, i have a feeling Prioleau will be in for adam, but I love having AA on the team.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

USA TODAY says AA is more atheletic and a harder hitter than Ryan Clark.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

I think he should be our outside linebacker that we need so much.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Can we wait till the season starts to criticize???
He is overpaid on paper though its hard to even live up to those indications.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

[QUOTE=PorterHouse;211038]I think he should be our outside linebacker that we need so much.[/QUOTE]

He doesn't have enough mass to play that position. He'll be swallowed by pulling Tackles and Guards.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

He has not looked good to me.Then again who really has looked good?

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Agree. I think it would have been more economical to resign Clark. Arch will grow and be fine though. Give him time. Everyone has shortcomings.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

price/performance ryan wins all the way.

but ryan made the wrong end of two highlight reel game winning plays. That's why GW went out and got the biggest guy he could find.

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Trick question...Who's the highest paid Safety in NFL history?...LOL

Re: Is anyone worried about Archuletta?
 

Adam is and will be a bad man on the field. You are judging him when he had guys around him that are.....GONE as of today.

He was all over the place and in the back field many times. When others are doing their part his part will be VERY visible.

He's a bad ass white boy
peace
