Look at it this way, a couple more trips to Popeyes and he could help out with the depth problems in the interior of the DLine.

That's Jay Cutler. He got chastised for not giving any effort on that play even though he's a quarterback and it was a designed run to the other side of the field. I'm pretty sure he's coached to just stand over there to occupy one defender.

Pretty dumb analogy to Key, imo

He was my favorite player, especially last season when he would be excited for anybody else making a tackle or a play. His energy was contagious! Now...I've really thought to myself, why are you even here?? Put Chaisson in there. I really do still want to root for Key but hell idk...

From what I saw he is taking the same route Clowney did at South Carolina. Taking plays off with very little effort so he does not get hurt before the draft.

He's playing to protect himself from injury

They say he couldn't handle success, let's see how he handles failure.

Told everyone some time ago something stunk. Well, it's his play!! He plays half arse and uninspired. There is no way in hades he gets drafted this year. Options....(1) play better (2) bye!!!

Think he's just extremely out of shape. 8 months with no real football practice is a lot to overcome. He'll have bursts of production, but is physically unable to sustain max effort over the course of a game.

I'd sit him. Hopefully he gets his crap together.

If Key is protecting his draft status, he would be well advised to return for his senior year. At this point in the season, I'm not sure he would place in the top 3 rounds. If his current play carries into pro camps, he may go the way of Dupree and Dural. I believe he needs his senior year to regain his confidence and fitness. I would like to see him back next year predicting 14 sacks.

Key just dosent act or play like he gives a shite. He needs to either start fricking playing or we need to start chaisson and get him more reps for the future. It's bullshite. Does he even have a single sack yet this year? It's like he thinks he's arrived or something bc of last season. He is losing more and more money every bad outing he has this year, and that is a fact. Nfl teams are going to question his drive and motivation if he doesn't start putting out every play. They will wonder if he will do the same at the next level. Why waste an early pick on someone who is inconsistent, when you have other players who give 100% effort every damn down? They wont. I would rather get a player that doesn't quite have the talent as key, but gives every ounce he has every play. A football player, that's what key needs to be.

I understand Arden got hurt. had surgery, and needed time to recover - but that doesn't explain his lackluster demeanor...or the fact that he's allowed himself to get so out of shape that he's a liability to his team.

For all the time he was recovering and missing practice, was any of O's staff assigned to keep in touch or keep at least one eye on Arden? Your 2017 marquee player on defense comes back, after missing all offseason, overweight and under motivated to ball out? How could such an extreme disconnect occur?

Just my opinion, and I haven't said anything up to now because I've been hoping I'm wrong, but I feel like certain players have a very long rope with O, and other players have a very short rope with O.

And if I can see it, I'm pretty damn sure the rest of the team can see it better than even I can.

Should Arden be benched? Yes.

But the long rope says he gets to participate, at his own pace, all season long.

That would be like throwing a rabbit into a briar patch. He doesn't want to play for the Tigers anyway. He's just waiting on the draft. Trying to stay injury free.

I honestly don't think the young man really wants to play football period anymore. I know its insane to just throw away millions but after the stories I read on why he took a leave over the summer just makes me think he is burnt out on football.
