Leonard Washington Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I, like him, thought this was going to be his year. It's not too late to come on strong. As a player who likes to get into opponents' heads, he needs to realize what is happening to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Reading this thread, you'd never know that Trent Murphy was on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The game of football is tricky. Having a couple good seasons means nothing in the big picture, however the same could be said for having a down year. Look at David Amerson, by the time Breeland was drafted, we expected those two to be the future corners on the defense. We figured the position was locked up. Then Amerson has a down season, while Breeland emerges in his first two seasons. Amerson is cut and goes to the Raiders and has been pretty solid there, while Breeland continued to be good here, then we sign Norman, and suddenly Breeland seems to be having a down year when in theory you'd think downgrading to covering the #2 WR on teams would make his life easier. No rhyme or reason to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week 17? We already won the division before that game, so that was by definition not a crucial game. If you mean the first matchup against Dallas last season, I believe he did play pretty good in that game, but we still lost that crucial game.

NoCalMike Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The NFL season is such a high stakes game due to only 16 games played that every game is so magnified I think it leads to people making final judgements on players way too early. There are the 10% of elite all pro players who show their cards on the table from the day they are drafted. They are so good that they excel regardless of the quality of players around them. However, I'd say vast majority of players in the NFL are simply not on that level and a ton of factors go into their performance. Going by Preston Smith's stats last year, you'd think he would be the NFL's breakout star this year, however he has settled into obscurity. Why? Who knows. Maybe the NFL adjusted to his strengths and he will spend this offseason to adjusting to their adjustments. Trent Murphy? If some had their way he'd have been cut after his rookie season. it took a couple seasons to figure out how to utilize his strengths and now he is productive. Is he a superstar? No, but he is productive. Other than Norman, the defense is lacking any true all pro talent. You have a mix of guys who are good, fair, mediocre, and bad. Until that front 7 gets a couple absolute studs who change the way an offense has to operate, it will have ripple effects or in this case a lack of ripple effects on the rest of the defense. Do you think Norman's recent struggles are because he suddenly forgot how to cover WR's or because the opposing QB has all day to throw, and coverage is not meant to hold for 10+ seconds every single down?

Warhead36 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Breeland was expected by many to take that next step in their game, similar to what Reed did last year. He's done anything but, and has been getting beat regularly. I don't know what his deal is, but he needs to man up and play the way he's capable of. This is the guy who shut Dez Bryant down his rookie year and shut down Julio Jones last year. I think the catches he gave up to Antonio Brown in the opener are still in his head. The truth is he wasn't really beat that bad by Brown, it was perfect throws and great catches by the best WR in the league. Hopefully the bye week gets his head back on straight.

If he has stunk this season should I really care about last year? Maybe if he had put in multiple years of quality play. He has not. His grammar also stinks. Retiring Twitter is the best option.

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I don't have twitter but if this board is any indication of the stuff he's hearing about his play then I feel for the dude. And yes I agree he should zip it and focus on making plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofzorn187 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 He's been bad! I think it was during the Ravens game I wished he was still injured. I shouldn't say that. I don't think he had a good or bad game today. Then again I had to wake up at 6 am to watch a Redskins game. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 He's young, he's struggling and this is what immaturity breeds. He's going to be a damn good player but most of them go through rough patches at some point. He'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlesnake88 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I like Breeland, but he needs to turn this negative into a positive fast. He's talented, we believe in him. People on the internet should be his last damn concern. Just do your ****ing job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Green Fan Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Good God our starting corners are stinking babies. Instead of lashing out at fans or the refs play your position all all the noise goes away. Breeland has sucked this year, no 2 ways around it. This is a show me game for big boys, last year means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It's like here after losses. In the end, who really cares what a player says after a tie. ES is proof enough the internets can drive one bonkers, you have to learn to deal with it. Catch someone on a bad day, and #holyoverreactionbatman. You'd think with as small as a grain of salt is, there would be enough to go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dissident2 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It's a shame. I think the addition of Norman REALLY got in his head. He's been absolutely great for us in the past. The only explanation that's reasonable for his bad play this year is the mental one. He's felt the pressure for the first time, and he hasn't held up well. That's a lot of pressure, too, playing that position. Couple that with imbeciles who once praised him saying he sucks, is "garbage", etc., on social media, and it's no wonder he's having an even tougher time. We expect way too much from these guys. Look how pissed off we get when we see opposing fans mock us after a loss on a message board. These guys now get constant critique and constant verbal abuse from so-called "friends" AND foes. All they have to do is turn on their computer or pick up their phone, and it's all there for them to digest. Not everyone is cut out for handling that gracefully. Most people aren't, in fact.

mikeDinNYC Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 bree has shown moments of brilliance over the few years... so his screw-ups are perceived as even worse... it's just the way it works when you want to be elite at your position... with that said, he needs to DO HIS JOB... norman should elevate his play... if he becomes worse with the competition, it says a lot about his maturity level. oh yeah... and social media does not and cannot help his play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hes playing on 2 injured ankles. Bree is a solid No. 2 corner. He will impact this season in a positive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very, very pleasant surprise who really stepped in without missing a beat when Hall went down for his first achilles. He's a straight baller and I don't know what the hell happened this year or why he's letting the media get to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
