re: I am so glad we traded away Akiem Hicks for a 3rd string TE

Maybe it wasn't a locker room issue, how about a front office issue?

Maybe it was the fact he was given a good bit of snaps (40 iirc) against arizona (Without their full healthy OL), played like shite, got benched. He then continued to whine and cry that he got benched, continued to play poorly for 2 more weeks against Tampa and Carolina (20 snaps a piece) amassing a grand total of 2 tackles, not a single one being a solo tackle. Then he was traded to NE for someone that may have potential as a FB/TE that can block and catch a ball here or there.

Fast forward 9 games and his numbers through 12 games were 8 tackles, 1 solo, 1 STF. Hardly ground breaking numbers.

Then the final 4 games of the year for him, he amassed 15 tackles, 8 solo, 3 sacks, 2 STFs and the flood of tards come.

Oh, take a look at the playoffs too: 3 tackles, 1 solo. Don't forget how piss poor Denver's interior OL is as well, in both games against Denver he only totalled 2 tackles.
