Got issues? Here are a few NFL teams with major problems at the midway point:
-As if it couldn’t get any worse in Oakland, now wide receiver Randy Moss has come out and said that his poor production this season is because of how bad the team is. Oh, poor Randy Moss. It must be hard on him being on such a bad team. Forget the fact that good guys like Takeo Spikes have hardly ever been on a winning team. At least Spikes still gives 100% on every down he plays.
-Speaking of the Raiders, quarterback Andrew Walter called out offensive coordinator Tom Walsh after Oakland’s loss to the Broncos last Sunday. Walter said Walsh’s playbook lacked “depth” and that he’s asked Walsh “numerous times” for more short routes and a moving pocket. Walter is screwed with Art Shell, who will now probably start Aaron Brooks this Sunday. For what it’s worth though, I can’t blame the young man for his criticism of Walsh’s play calling. It’s horrid.
-Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said that defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan’s job is safe – for now. Cincy just gave up 42 points to the Chargers. I can only imagine how quick Lewis’ trigger finger is right now for the release of Bresnahan.
–Atlanta Journal Constitution columnist Mark Bradley wrote Monday how coach Jim Mora runs a poorly coached team. Making matters worse for the Falcons, sack artist Patrick Kerney is done for the season. Kerney joins Ed Hartwell, John Abraham, Kynan Forney and Jason Webster of starters who will miss significant time for Atlanta this season.
-Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press is calling for reality to step in once again for another dismal Lions season.
-Joe Gibbs and the Redskins have finally had enough with Mark Brunell. Jason Campbell is now in and good news for the first time starter – he won’t have Clinton Portis taking some of the pressure off of him. Portis will miss at least a month with a broken hand.
