It sucks. IMO its not a time to be discussing the bust hes obviously become and our defense isn't as dynamic without him . I pray for his recovery as a human being first and foremost. He was apparently so upset people had to stay with him in the locker room to console him. It seems to be never ending for this franchise. I cant think of many teams that have been torn up with injuries over the last half decade as Seattle .
Good luck Jamaal.
The problem with Adams never was with his determination or his likability as a teammate. All reports are that he's a first class guy, a dedicated hard working player.
But those attributes are bonuses, and not qualities that can trump other deficiencies. The fact is that he's a one trick pony that can be utilized in very limited number of scenarios, those that require that we make some other sacrifice or assume some other risk. Quarterbacks are wary of him. He's a liability in pass coverage and he's not a ball hawk. He was brought in during a time when we had an absolutely horrible pass rush and a defense that was on pace to break statistical records that no one wants to own. Pete panicked, was desperate and overpaid for him in an effort to address what was a huge embarrassment for a coach that prided himself on his defensive prowess.
Yes, Adams was snake bit with injuries. If that were the only problem with this trade, I would have more sympathy for those who made it. But even without the injuries, it was one of, if not the worst, trades in franchise history, made worse by the contract we signed him to earlier this year. For me, personally, it was the straw that broke the camel's back and caused me to jump off of Pete's bandwagon.
