reddog271 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 a lot of people are complaining about Upshaw's weak preseason... I've already started hearing bust comments.... can we not look back one year to Mr Torry Smith and what he looked like in the preseason? He looked like a broken Travis Taylor. A fast Mark Clayton. He looked like he should've been cut.
vmax Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 There's something wrong with him.He comes to camp overweight and out of shape.He's been hurt...in the tub.He hasn't made any plays. That's bullshit.

That's bullshit. I hear you.. I really do. but we were harder on Torry last year. he couldn't catch ANYTHING.... and look how that turned out!!
yagersports Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Cmon guys this is preseason. This is not the be all end all here. Sometimes thr jury is out a lil longer for some than others. Upshaw is going to be a very good player in this league.
papasmurfbell Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 He has issues but I would not call him a bust.
vmax Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I'm not saying that he's a bust. I'm saying he's a big disappointment right now. Suggs injury has left this defense vulnerable. JJ was let go...probably for a youth movement and an "on fire" young guy probably could have been as effective this year as an aging JJ. But that guy has not shown up. Disappointing.This team has a need and Upshaw was being asked "Can you help us?"I see a sholder shrug....not a guy on fire to help his team mates. I think the only reason Kindle made the team is because Upshaw has disappointed them and they have to find a way to get a pass rush. That's desperate. That caused some other guy to get cut....like Brown, who if Upshaw had his fire we'd be saying "JJ Who?" or "Another great find Ozzie!"
oldno82 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Too early to call him a bust but I haven't seen or heard him do anything positive so far. Looks like he might be a project at best and a bust at worst.
papasmurfbell Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 This season could be a wash for him. It happens. Hell by week 6 he could be a stud.
cravnravn Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 This is why I hate Preseason..Im thinking sneak attack on Howdy Doodie week 1 from both Upshaw and Kruger..We ran a vanilla D all pre season. They kept Tyrod and his shitty play, no reason Upshaw wont be good.
