[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 489306"] Nick Barnett was never a smart football player. I cannot tell you how many times his first step was the wrong step. He couldn't read offensive formations; another one of those great athletes who turned out to be a not so great football player. He patched over his deficiencies with speed, but it was just a patch. You could consistently sucker him with misdirection. Put him one-on-one with Bryon Westbrook all over the field, where he didn't have to know what was going on in the offense or defense, and looked like an All Pro. Ask him to play read-and-react linebacker...not even close. He might have made a fine strong safety in a predominantly man defense. He should have been in Oakland. The word is he sucked all the air out of the room in position meetings. A real pain in the a** preparation-wise. With injuries and age, he's lost a step or two, which might explain why he's dropped to 228 lbs. His chief virtue is mostly exhausted. The Bills were 30th in the league at 5.0 yards per carry surrendered. I was happy to see him go. I'd be very disappointed to see him back. [/QUOTE]
