He just wanted to bull rush. Didn't want to lose weight. Then he yells at the coach.

Let us not forget the final Rob Ryan season, that did nothing for anyone's career.

He tried to re shape his players (benching Hicks in favor of Richardson)to fit a "system" rather than doing what the above average coaches do.
Gotta believe things would have been a lot different for Akiem in New Orleans if Coach Nielsen was the DL coach during those times. IMO AHicks was a very good draft pick by us but required the proper coaching & personnel to shine. |

I agree k he didn't give his all here and now is sour about us and the fact they lost to nick f’n foles in the playoffs when they were supposed to be shoo-ins. His kind comes and goes, he’ll get that way in chicago too.

Re: USA Today/Saints Wire: Bears Pro Bowler Akiem Hicks reflects on his fallout with Saints
I blame Payton more than Rob Ryan for the disastrous couple years.
Payton badly wanted to imitate Seattles defense after it shut us down in the 2013 playoffs, so he got rid of Jenkins and Harper in favour of Byrd and then went out and got Browner and drafted Stanley Jean Baptiste with a God damn 2nd round pick...... He was trying to mold a successful 2013 unit into his own version of Seattles D and it had the adverse effect. Payton didn't like a guy that wouldn't listen, so he brought Dennis Allen in to be Rob's overseer knowing he could get rid of Rob at any moment and have his friend take over. Dont get me wrong, Allen built a great D last year, just giving my opinion on matters. |
