Sirmon
- Thread starter jecornel
- Start date
Unfortunately he should be playing at a place like Central

I said it in another thread before the game: What the hell has happened to the linebacker development? In 2016, when Victor or Bierria came off the field, you had DJ Beavers or an undersized but already very useful BBK or Sean Constantine come on. Of the three, Constantine was the highest rated recruit, and I'd put him right there with Sirmon. The other two were far better. Beavers was legit upper-tier in conference.
Now? One injury to the former walk-on starter, and you're running out another freshman walk-on and spelling him with an OLB moved inside. I'm not anti-walk-on, but what the fuck!? At this point, it's not just a lack of talent, it's a complete inability to develop players on the roster. This team has gotten fuck all out of Heimuli, Calvert, Ah You, Tuputalu, Tafisi, and Sirmon, and that has to be a feat that's downright hard to accomplish. Tuputala looked promising as a true freshman, but his few reps (only one I noticed) last night were a disaster. Heimuli looks totally lost. I actually believe that Sirmon is out there because he's the best option, which is infuriating. Even Eddie hasn't looked himself this year.
This program has driven off a cliff since 2018. The position group that imploded the hardest and fastest has been the linebackers. Fucking baffling.

He looks like the second best option inside for sure. Also, I owe him a correction: Got him mixed up with Fowler. Bruener is a scholarship player.
The point stands, though: How is he already better than Heimuli, Tafisi, Sirmon, Tuputalu?

Washingtons best LB is playing safety
Yeah, I know we've been waiting gor him to replace Sirmon but he looked just as awful
He looked lost and tentative. One thing thats been obvious with this staff is that the backups aren't getting any development whatsoever. I think they've struggled mightily getting the starters playing at a high level and have had to spend all their time trying, and failing, to do so. Backups are just lost.

So I'm not saying Gregory is the answer at DC, but holy fuck is the defense having to do everything for long periods of anemic offense.
With even a mediocre OC and offense they arent on the field for an entire first half
Way to read the room dumb fuck.
But yes, I saw a couple plays where he read the play faster than sirmon AND didn’t get juked out of his jock.

The entire team showed fire wtf are you talking about . These guys are wining despite their coaches. They know their coaches suck ass but strap it up. Even D Mo said fuck this shit and went down field.
