The problem is he's a liability and team's are gameplanning to take advantage of it. That's a deathknell in the NFL.

there was no cross on the routes, they motioned brown across the formation and Rogers followed him, then instead of continuing onto the the outside receiver ( Brown) Mettelus slid down on Brown, and Rogers took Goddart off the line. it wasnt forced at all by the routes, simply a head scratcher for me. the lack of pressure from our DL is what made the play happen, but the choice of a tweener DB/LB when you had a CB right there...
we only really rushed 3 with a spy, but when Turner is one of the 3... well did you really "RUSH" 3? I have hope for Turner to put some more meat on that frame, and/or develop something more than a weak bull rush. He's only 22 so there might still be more to come for him, but its really not looking like anything worth what was given up to take him.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

I'd have to see the play again and thought the announcers mentioned that's what happened, but maybe not. Regardless we got caught in a mismatch that the Eagles took advantage of

As MB said earlier. Metellus had the play at the sticks on a 4th and 4. But Hurts rolled out and played sandlot, sending Brown deep.

Harrison Smith had to point him to the right position in previous games and he has been lost in coverage, he deserved to take a seat

which is why you dont want a hybrid S/LB on a WR, it was a fuck up IMO. lots of plays break down, receivers routinely run double move routes, just like the physical advantage that Goddart had over Rogers if he had gotten the ball, teams scheme for mis matches and we just handed them one.

is he injured or is there off field stuf?
The reason Brian Flores is a great defensive coordinator is he puts players in position to make plays.
My guess Flores is White Hot pissed off that pace is leading the league in missed tackles..
It's fixable.
if pace was a stiff with no ability that's one thing. But that's not the issue here.
