To echo the article, I'm a little surprised not to see Dilosa on the two deep considering he was mentioned by his position coach and the HC as on of the guys who were doing good things.

Shipp's line technique is different than pinning your ears back and trying to stop the run on your way to the QB. If Harold is making the proper reads and putting himself in a position to set the edge, does it matter that he is a walk on? Taking the coaching, a high motor and being in the right spot will trump measurables every time.

I like to see the guys making the plays this week earning the playing time. How often did we complain about Hall and Chappell fail game after game last year, yet kept getting put out there.

This was a long-running problem with the Pinkel coaching staffs, as far as I am concerned. We played too many wide receivers who had issues catching the ball week after week after week through the years. Yet they kept getting snaps. In a passing-heavy spread offense!!!!!!

Let's give the guys actually getting the job done a chance. Get the job done this week - get a chance to do it again next game. Fail to do your job - next guy up gets the chance next game.

This would be a wonderful philosophy change.
