Reeder wears the green dot so while his play is bad he provides value. I'm ready to see Speights over Rozeboom though.

Side note: it's a shame that players who have the best names usually don't pan out. Rozeboom is a great name for a linebacker.
I will admit that I am sure Reeder does a great job with the green dot. I am sure he makes Shula feel all comfortable and shit. But when the defensive front has not played with great discipline, and the secondary has been a fucking mess, and when your ILBs are easy to gameplan for... That's when it's time to reevaluate how valuable that advantage is vs the other options.

If the green dot's the issue.... then I think after JJIII gets back, he'll wear it & after the bye, we start working in Speights & Hummel.

I totally agree. But I do think he's the Green Dot for a reason. Dare I say options could be worse if someone else had to manage defense.

What's one drive going to do. Oh shoot - we gave up another TD with Speights/Hummel. Oh well. Reeder/Rozeboom would have given up the TD too.
At that point it may not just be a player issue but a coaching issue which is worse because they are the ones deciding how to play or who to play.
