I know he's supposed to be some ace special teamer but everytime I see him, he's always the first one down the field and missing the tackle. I miss Steve Tasker backing teams up to the 2 yard line.

Re: John Wendling
You guys are harsh. I also think sometimes you don't understand football.
Sometimes the strategy isn't to go try to tackle him, it's to absorb the blocker and force the return man into the wave of unblocked coverage guys.
Our coverage has been awesome since the first couple weeks. You guys just want to bash everybody. Wendling is what he is. Its not like anybody ever expected him to be Steve Tasker.
Tasker is the hall of fame because he was a once in a lifetime special teamer. Special teamers don't get considered for the Hall of Fame, but Tasker will...Why? Because he was the best ever.
If your going to compare every special teams star to Tasker, none of them will ever live up to what you want.

Re: John Wendling
if wendling was suppose to absorb the blocker why is he streaking down the field with no blocker on him?
Wendling is a dud. a few weeks ago he actually used his high jumping skills to his advantage, jumped over the line and partially blocked a field goal. Do you know what happened to that blocked field goal? it still went through the uprights. so what the hell is the point.
Jets game he made it down and streaked right past the punt returner.

A gunners job is to get down there as soon as possible, and tackle the guy before he gets going. His job is not to absorb blockers, it is to shed them as fast as possible.
Edit: OK Pinkdog and trap kinda covered this, lol.Last edited by yordad; 12-04-2009, 09:57 AM."Heck, now I am glad his overrated arce made the pro bowl, else we would have only got a 3rd." ~ yordad
