Hicks has never shown above average ability. He makes like one splash play a season and makes everyone believe he's on the verge of breaking out only to go MIA again.

Yes he has man.

A DT turned DE turned DT turned DE again... ?

I'm sure all this has nothing to do with coaches

This may not be the final piece of this puzzle.

Perhaps Bunkley is ready to return?

I hope we trade John Jenkins too and then resign Bunkley.

Jenkins hasn't played that badly. He had a below par game vs Tampa but graded well against Zona and Carolina.

Jenkins is OK. He's not a stud but he's not a bad guy to have in the rotation either.

$hit man, Jenkins did just as well in coverage vs Carolina as Browner did.

He's our newest CB!

I don't mind trading Hicks, but I would much rather it had been for a pick(s). Hoogieboogie has been in the same boat in New England. They've tried giving him a bigger role and with the exception of a splash play or two he's been very underwhelming.

Time will tell what kind of player Hicks is. And if he goes on to NE and plays well then it's yet another failure by our own organization.
