My Walk The Plank for the 2021 season goes to Antonio Brown. He basically milked an injury to collect his salary, then embarrassed himself and the team in New York after a spat with Arians. I don't know if it was CTE or if he's just crazy, but he abandoned this team and they might've beaten the Rams had he been fully healthy and available.
Honorable Mention to Todd Bowles whose unit was exposed as a liability all season. I know the unit was riddled with injuries but that's no excuse. His play calling was flat out atrocious in the Rams game.

Re: Walk The Plank- 2021 Season
Bowles is so hit-and-miss. He has moments of brilliance and his overall plans are often good, but the defense has collapsed in the biggest moments far too often to be comfortable, playing soft when we need to contest offenses and playing super aggressive when the risk is high and the reward is low (see the Kupp reception).
My walk the plank is easily Antonio Brown. Fuck that guy.

The 2021 draft class.
Re: Walk The Plank- 2021 Season
We don't win the SB last year without our draft class. Wirfs gave Brady a brick wall of protection. AWJ saved the season vs the Saints in the playoffs. Vaughn got us points vs the Chargers which helped win that game. Johnson made an incredible catch vs the Saints in the playoffs that contributed to our win. Contrast that to the 2021 draft class, where Joe Tryon did next to nothing. Trask never even wore a uniform. Hainsey did nothing. Britt did nothing. Darden was a liability as a kick returner. This loss is seeded in the draft and our lack of action in FA to do anything to upgrade the roster. Meanwhile the Rams beat us with Stafford, Von Miller, and OBJ who were all 2021 additions. They tried to win, we tried to stay the same. The results speak for themself.
Re: Walk The Plank- 2021 Season
I am going to give it to Jason Licht and Todd Bowles. Licht because he did not address the weakness in the secondary that was obvious last season. He did not address the defensive line well enough either.
Re: Walk The Plank- 2021 Season
We were 3 deep at corner and 3 deep at safety. They combined to miss 24 games. The main guy we brought in to help played like 10 quarters. I don't blame OBP for any of that.
The defensive line, I agree. And it's going to be a huge problem going forward. We have to rebuild that unit and we have NOTHING behind the guys leaving.
