Juda Parker

[Duff Man]

Is it fair to call him the most disappointing player on the defense?

I did as well. The arrival of more DEs in January is probably not going to help him.

Not really a vote of confidence for the kid. But, there really can't be disappointment in the absence of expectations. I really wasn't expecting a whole lot out of Parker going into this year, so I'm not really disappointed with absence. I agree that if the DEs currently slated to come in over the spring and summer actually make it, JP may be in some trouble.

I was really looking for more out of our linebackers across the board, and hoping that Woodson Greer in particular would show a bit more this year.

He's played in all 8 games.

153 plays on defense
1 TFL

Might as well only be playing 10 guys out there.

I dont think so, Poston's emergence has limited his snaps. Also Poston has been on the field for more of the passing down's with Uzo-dirbe which means he gets more favorable match ups because of the focus on Chidera.

Fair point, lawdogg. I guess what disappoints me is that Poston has gone right by Parker. I do not expect Parker to be a star, but we should remember he is on the team.

Outside of Greg Henderson and Daigh (to an extent), the defensive production of the 2011 class is not there.

LB'S have been absent for years. Parker hasn't produced much that's for sure.

Is gerald thomas still on the team? I guess it's a secret plan to have your fastest guy stand on the sidelines or have him run fake routes.

Not fast or big enough
