He's had a good year for a rookie.

I think he had a really good overall year, but he sucked today.

much too short of an evaluation period to write him off, and i think with a better cast around him to take some of the burden off him, it would go a LONG way..... to be asked to be the heart and soul of an NFL defense from day one, essentially, is not an easy task....

we have to get better up front... period.... we could have dick butkus at Mike right now, and he would be able to do a thing because he'd be constantly fighting off blockers that just pancaked our d line...

He has been average for a first round pick. Above average for just a rookie.

He's been good at times...has had some bad games too.

But, I've seen enough to think that he's going to continue to improve. In fact, I find it odd that anyone would complain about him at this point.

take a look at the LB's coach.

god I hope Joe Vitt reads this.

fricking take a hike guy and take that bum D-line coach with you.

the front seven has been a weakness for too long.

fricking DET was the worst rushing offense in the league and we still let big runs happen.

just some weak arse shite.

must be nice stealing money and having your players going through the motions.

He and Kikaha have shown flashes but haven't been good. The Saints not having a d-line hurts them a ton.

I found it odd that Gruden and company were tasking Anthony with the play calls and line adjustments. Watching the game it was obvious that Ellerbe was making all the calls pre-snap. Re-watch the game, it was 59 making all the adjustments, he caused the line to over play in the wrong direction all night long.

What? How can you be below average on a bad defense? Secondary is crap, defensive lineman are not that good. Stephone Anothony and Kikaha have played well for rookies. If your looking for something to critique you may want to start with the front office then the coaching staff and then the veterans and finish off with the overpaid players thats not earning their salary.

101 Tackles, 1 sack, 2 forced fumbles, 1 interception

As a rookie playing one of the most difficult positions on the defense.

Yeah, what a huge disappointment. He can't possibly get better either
