... i'm trying to get more insight into what wade sees and what you see as far as schemes and usage. rather than this BS, he will be good he won't be good.
Here were my specific observations from above.
1. Hamlin made a name for himself as a rookie with a crushing hit on Donte Stallworth in Seattle. Stallworth's helmet went flying and he ending up on the bench saying something about Batman. I think Hamlin has been trying to duplicate that same hit ever since. He's constantly looking for the knockout blow instead of just making tackles. I lost count how many times I saw someone bounce off of him and keep running because he was trying to tackles with just his shoulder instead of attempting to wrap up.2. He gets torched deep. A lot. He's got his eyes in the backfield way too much. Some players can get away with it. He can't. He lacks the recovery speed.
Will scheme somehow hide these weaknesses? I doubt it. Good fundamentals are necessary regardless of scheme. Again, I think this is a good example of simple coach-speak.This horse is close to being beaten to death. Why would I take issue with this particular player? Because I feel I know him backwards and forwards and I'm calling it what it is. A one year temporary fix. By my standards its not a "great" signing. Its a calculated gamble.
