Brodrick Bunkley’s disappointing rookie season is a topic that has pretty much been beaten to death in this town. However, if this team is ever going to step up on defense and become something more than they’ve shown through 13 weeks, it’s only going to happen if Bunkley is given a chance. We know we have with the rest of the defensive line. Patterson, Darwin Walker, Cole and Darren Howard aren’t going to add much more than we’ve seen in the past month. Why not give Bunkley a shot? Can he be any worse? I say no, but can he better given more playing time? I say absolutely. To me, this is a no brainer. This is the kind of move that could spark the team and improve the entire defense. You know, just the kind of thing this team needs desperately as it attempts to qualify for the playoffs.
Along the same lines\, I’d go back to Lewis as strong safety and put Considine’s little white ass on the bench. I’ve seen enough of him this year to realize that he’s not a starting quality NFL safety. However, Michael Lewis clearly is an above average strong safety. He just fell in love with the kill shot and it caused him to give up too many big plays. My buddy the Captain, the biggest Eagles homer this side of Merrill Reese, pointed out that Sean Taylor and Roy Williams bite on pass plays all the time trying to make the big hit and they are given carte blanche. Now that Lewis has sat on the sideline and watched his prospects for earning a big contract in free agency dwindle to nearly zero, I think he’s ready to play more reliably.

Come on, Big Red and JJ. It’s time to stop being so damn stubborn and play the kid. I could really give a sh*t if he missed a team plane. The kid has talent. He needs to be on the field.

Right ON, 100% accurate other than the Considine thing, we have no idea whether he can play in this league other than the fact he's white and small and there aren't any white small safties playing today. The last white small safety was the cone helmet dude in Buffalo.
I loved Mark Kelso...his enlarged helmet made him look like the Great Gazoo
