00:00 I implore people if they have a NFL game pass to just go through the defensive snaps and watch
00:06 for Ben Neiman blitzing. It is, he might be legitimately the worst blitzing linebacker I've
00:13 ever seen. Every single time he is stopped by the running back in his tracks, he hits them straight
00:20 on. He doesn't try to avoid them at all. He's undersized for a linebacker. So it's never even
00:26 a good idea period. And I'm just going, I'm watching this, I'm going Willie Gay has 40 pounds on this
00:33 dude. He's way faster and is way more explosive. Why the hell is, I'm getting actually just so
00:39 frustrated and seeing Ben Neiman take these snaps over Willie Gay. I don't care how far along Willie
00:46 Gay is. I don't understand how he couldn't be far enough along to where he can't just go,
00:53 Spags goes, Hey, Hey, go out there, run at the quarterback and sack him. Is that,
00:58 does he really need time to figure that out? I don't understand. So I I'm tired of Ben Neiman
01:04 seeing the field at all. He should be cut. He shouldn't even be, he's not a great special
01:08 team where either. So at least this year he hasn't been, I know in the past years he has been. So
01:13 maybe that's why to pick, we're going to talk about special teams later too, but I just,
01:20 I'm tired of it. I'm tired. He's just, he's the weakest link on the team by far. And he sees so
01:25 many snaps each week. It's frustrating. I think Willie Gay only had 31 snaps. Um, and it's hard
01:31 to really do anything when you have 31 snaps. Right. I think I saw on the PFF refocus or like,
01:35 Oh, he underwhelmed in the running defense with his 31 snaps. Okay. How, what do you,
01:41 what do you expect from him when he's only getting 31 snaps? Right. I don't know. I go
01:45 back and forth with, okay. Yeah, I get that Willie Gay isn't, might not be all the way there because
01:50 of, uh, the, you know, post off season and no training camp. That's not an excuse anymore.
01:56 That's not an excuse. It's the same thing when it comes to Andy Reed saying that Juan Thornhill's
02:00 a situational player and they're easing him back in, in week 11, you're easing him back in a week
02:05 11. That doesn't make any sense. Get Dan Sorensen and Ben Neiman off the field.
