Rashad Johnson signs with Titans

[Darkside]

The finger jokes are like middle-school jokes and none of them were amusing. I'm fine with him moving on, but I think it was really difficult for someone in his position to replace ADUB and in that sense I thought he did really well. It's really difficult to replace a Hall of Famer and he did okay. Most of the time people would hate on the next guy, but he played well enough that it was okay. He wasn't a great player for us, but after replacing a great player that's hard to do. He was okay. He didn't suck, but he wasn't great. I'll take it and wish him the best. He played his heart out and was all about team, and from what Matheiu says he taught him alot about film study, so I don't know what more anyone could possibly want.

Good luck nubbie, I always appreciated you as a player, leader and good citizen. Plus you literally left part of yourself "on the field" for the team.

hall of famer?

That deserves its own thread. I would have to study the history of HOF safeties before I made that claim. ROH for sure, not sure about HOF

His Interception and sack totals for a Safety are impressive.

Adub played in 5 pro bowls, 3 time all pro, and is one of only 6 players--not safeties, but NFL players--to have 25 INT's and 25 sacks. In the history of the NFL, ever. In games played from 2001-2012 he was the best safety in football, statistics support that.

Compare him to Polamalu, whom everyone seems to love because he played for Pittsburgh:

WILSON POLAMALU
Games 181 158
Tackles 886 755
Sacks 25.5 12
INT 27 32
FF 14 14
FR 8 7
Def TD 4 5
Pass Brk 16 28

Those stats are skewed IMO because Adrian played on such a bad team with the Cardinals. He played when we sucked super-bad. Polamalu and other safeties played when their teams were productive and contenders and had pressure on the front 7, allowing him to roam and do things. Adub played for one of the worst teams in the history of the league. For many years.

The problem is safeties don't get inducted often and there's other safeties who are HOF worthy before he even played.

(People should also recognize that his #'s started to seriously decline with the rule changes on hitting QB's and hitting receivers over the middle. There's a direct correlation. Wilson is old school and destroyed most records from his era and before. With the new rule changes, and at his age, he was relegated to swiping at dudes and relying on speed he didn't possess anymore. He was never a cover guy. He was a bruiser, a tackler (look at his #'s) a sacker of the QB, and a zone technique guy in coverage. When we started moving to more man with Horton especially, his value decreased. His #'s are HOF. He played on so many bad teams, and he stuck with his Cardinals)

I think you put your finger on it; however, remember that every time you point your finger at someone, there are 2 1/2 pointing back at you.

Well I heard that he was spotted at a Nashville Fingerhut looking for tips on how to be a better safety.
