TM7 burned out?
Posted on 11/22/11 at 5:37 am

Is he getting fatigued? Or did teams figure him out? Or is miles not using him the same? He hasn't been making the "game changing" plays these past few games.... Thoughts?

I haven't seen him blitzing as much, but he's still making plays.

lets remind ourselves that those plays are sports center type plays.. the fact that he has made this many is amazing.. he'll make more

EZ;
It's TM7 time once again! The bright lights will be shining brighter than ever the remainder of the season. Look for a big play or three over these next few games. Good point... I don't think he is fatigued at all - just waiting for another opportunity to secure victory!

It's this. He's on the edge now and not being used as the NB and blitzing. Watched him a lot this weekend and he pretty much stayed outside the entire time.

Looks like he is still making plenty of plays to me. Appears that they are using Brooks in the role he was in earlier in the year, but he is snuffing out screen passes and passes in the flats and all over on special teams.

Product of the position... Brooks is getting most of those snaps now

I blame it on punt returns.
When PP stared doing returns he seemed to drop off on big plays, not sure why.

TM7 turned out to be a better cover guy than simon and thus brooks is getting the nickle/blitz package snaps and TM7 is playing the perimeter. JMHO.

He might be tweeted out.... He has like 22k followers... Twice the number of trent richardson followers. He's busy.

He made the most plays when he wasn't in single coverage. Now that we are using him more traditionally, he isn't in position to make the plays like before. Early in the year Simon was used more which left Mathieu open to blitz or move around in space. The teams we faced early in the season required this but more recent teams do not. He could have done great against Auburn but he didn't play. Don't expect anything special this week as he will be used in coverage more.

You haven't been watching the games.
Posted on 11/22/11 at 7:05 am to bigeztiger
maybe he is burned out to those that dont pay attention to the game. If you actually watch the game tm7 is playing just fine. He hasn't gotten a turnover in a while but he is shutting down plays in the flats,downing punts and still causing turnovers and sacks by being disruptive. My advice watch the game a little closer
Posted on 11/22/11 at 7:37 am to bigeztiger
He's playing corner most of the time now, whereas he was playing nickel earlier in the year. Simon is mostly only in for dime now, which is when TM7 can move inside and blitz more. Brooks is taking Tyrann's role at nickel which is why he's making those plays now. How in the hell is this so hard to understand?

Victim of his own success. He made enough plays in a year and half to fill a great career's worth of highlights.
Now he he's playing well but not putting up other worldly numbers and everyone wants to know whats wrong.
Posted on 11/22/11 at 8:14 am to bigeztiger
he made 5 or 6 once in a career type plays in a handful of games. He's played well just the law of averages brings him down. He'll continue to excel.
Posted on 11/22/11 at 8:20 am to bigeztiger
He's just being the ultimate team player and sharing the spotlight
Posted on 11/22/11 at 8:22 am to bigeztiger
He's playing more CB instead of Nickel. Know who's playing Nickel? Ron Brooks. I think I've heard his name a few times lately.... 
This is either an indictment where we thought Simon's CB ability was or TM7 is just that good.

Hahahhahaha this is laughable. Burned out? You just not watching him. He is making plays, brilliant plays even, just not the kind that make the sportscenter top 10.
Did you see his spin move to get around a blocker and tackle the ball carrier against Western Kentucky?

Why do so many fans believe you need to have your cornerbacks always in the spotlight? 
That couldn't be more wrong.
