    Why did Mosley regress?

    I thought his rookie year was his best which is crazy.

    151 tackles and 12 QB hits as a rookie are career highs

    Plus two picks, 3 sacks and 8 pass deflections.

    Why did he not improve from his rookie year and instead regress? I don't remember seeing him get abused by tight ends as much either.
    Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!

    I’m not sure.

    It seems like he’s put on weight, and he’s had injuries. I thought he’d be a superstar after year one but nah.

    His rookie season he had Daryl Smith next to him , and Suggs and UpShaw outside. No pressure , good on field leadership. All he had to do was play. After that he’s had to be a leader. Maybe it’s too much for him. Not everyone is a leader. To me the Defense responded better when Weddle got the green dot last year when Mosley was hurt. Turning point for the Defense and team.

    Good post that may be it. Would have loved seeing him alongside Ray and Reed.

    Oh I think if you change out Mosley for Bart ...Mosley maybe in the HOF talk. Kid has or Had talent. Playing with those studs woulda elevated the shit outa his game. Think Suggs , Ray , Mosley , UpShaw.

    Re: Why did Mosley regress?

    Based off my eye test, I would have said this year. My biggest problem with Mosley wasn't so much his sometimes lackluster coverage skills, but the tackles he would sometimes miss. It's not fair to compare anyone to the greatest to have ever played the position, but I expect my middle linebacker to be like a lion. Nothing chaps my ass more than missed tackles, and I can't remember a play this year where Mosley missed one.

    I dont know if he regressed or the game has just shifted more to a space game. I dont think his strength was ever coverage... Its why I was a huge fan of Shazier coming out of college.

    The game has changed rapidly in the past 3-5 years. The entire gameplan of the chiefs and pats is to isolate defenders and create mismatches.

    I think if the game stayed the same, Mosley would still look great
