C'mon Dizz, he wasn't that bad. In fact he was one of the few safeties on our team that made plays.

Yeah he's no all-pro but he did consistently grade out above average.

If I was forced to choose between Vaccaro or Bush for 2016, I'm leaning toward Bush.

I wish they let Vaccaro and Bush go. By now Vaccaro should be helping set the D, instead he looks like a lost child in the mall somewhere looking very much confused and Bush makes 1 hit( illegal in my opionion) in a playoff game and he's the 2nd coming of Ronnie Lott. At least Harper did his job while he was in the box, these 2 don't.

Vaccaro may be a bit more athletic, but Harper covers better, tackles better, has a much higher football IQ, and is a coach on the field.

True, he was a scapegoat for so many that didn't know what the hell a traditional in the box safety was. We used to call them strong safeties.

Really? Just play the damn game the best you can. Players & coaches are all at fault for the lousy performance of 2014 & 2015.

Harper is still on my FB page and I still "Like" his posts. Harper is a freaking Man. He has his liabilities on the football field, but he's a quality human being and I'm a fan - just wish he didn't play for Carolina, but hey, the man's gotta eat...

So basically Bush is saying that the players themselves suck. Ok, I can buy that.

It's on us as players????? This dude has spent the better part the last two seasons on IR, how does he get the opportunity to say who is responsible for what??????

SloMotion · 11-23-2015, 05:47 AM

Yeah, real stand-up guy, acknowledges the defense's role/responsibility after a man loses his job,

. Maybe be a little more proactive with the next guy, eh Rafael?

I don't have any love for RR, but come on!
