  1. Dont get me wrong I love Luck....... But he seemed really socially akward last night, even more so than Eli, didnt think that was possible. Possibly nerves , time will tell

    Repost from other thread

    We drafted Luck for he's football skill, not because hes a great entertainer.. I liked the Interview, and Luck, what would you say to a man that keep declaring his man love to the man you just "replaced"

  2. Blame that on Tampa 2 not the players. Tampa 2 is based on speed, and it often leaves huge holes all over the field. Angerer IMO is better than Brackett and is primed to be one of the best ILB in the league.

    If i shall blame it on tampa 2 how can you use it for the reason that he is good, the reason he got that many tackles was because of our scheme... you cant take the one without the other...

    again. I'm still not bashing him, but alot of those tackles where because he drop 15 yards off and I know he got told to do it but still its the reason for that many tackles

  3. I think it does. Making an open field tackle on a RB is a very difficult thing to do and Pat has shown he can do that. And even if tackle stats are wildly inaccurate, it still shows he is always around the ball.

    With that said, it seems as though we will have to agree to disagree on this situation. One thing we can both agree on is that we want Pat to keep improving and making big plays for this defense

    I think thats best, reading your post I don't think we talking about the same thing.

  4. It's much easier to ignore a CB than a MLB. Don't throw towards Revis and he won't get the stats. But as a MLB, Angerer plays sideline to sideline. Regardless of how he got so many tackles, he still did. He was still in on plays and has a nose for the ball. If they play him closer to the LOS next year and his stats drop significantly, there might be some question as to his ability. But up until now, he was put into situations he didn't control (like dropping back 15 yards), but still made a number of plays. Even if he had poor tackling ability, that would have been exploited when going 1 on 1 against a RB in the open field.

    you cant use the excuse that he dident control the situation, when it is this "situation" that make him get so many tackles,

    again im not bashing Pat I've think hes a great player but he haven't proved that hes as good as the stats say...

    when QB keep throwing hes way for easy yards again and again and he just make that easy tackles that doesn't prove any skills.

  5. He made the best of the situation he was given. His defensive coordinator told him to drop back 15 yards into coverage despite knowing full well that the offense would run. Pat did that, then went up to make the tackle. I'm sure if it were up to him, he would have dropped less and played more around the LOS, but he can't control that. Based on the film we have now, he has done well

    it might not have been hes preferred situation, and might not been hes call but thats still dosent make it any better, I'm not arguing thats hes a good player or not, but alot of those tackles where 15 yards off, and he got exploited for free first downs, the DC might told him to do that, and thats okai but thats dosent make he's tackle more impressive...

    look at Revis, I know hes a CB but he got very few tackles, still he is the best CB, because the QB wont throw hes way.. Angerer is just opposite

  6. your english is good, but Ray Lewis dropped back like that plenty of times and he makes tackles all the time, now I know Pat has a way to go cause this is a new scheme and new everything but he didnt just drop back he moved all around the field and made tackles

    he did move around, and he did make some good plays I agree with you there, but i remember when he drop backs 6 times in a row and get exploited and thats just in 1 game, and he might the get told to drop back, and thats fine but then hes stats is not really for use, and thats why I think we shall wait till next year when we release the monster to see how good he really is, he might be even better then we imagined.

  7. thats actually one of the ways if you can tell if a middle linebacker is good or not by the number of tackles he gets, look at Patrick Willis or Ray Lewis they are top of the league and why is that because they consistently get to the guy with the ball and get that tackle, now thats not the only way to measure how good a guy is, but look what he does compared to others at his position on game day that will tell ya a great deal about how good he is along with his instincts for getting to the ball. the middle linebacker is in the middle of most of the action especially if its a run play

    if you can get 10 free yards on every play by dumping it to the reciever, because the LB is 15 yards off, and then he gets the tackle, thats not good stats, he get exploited, I dont try to blame Pat, its our scheme but hes tackles cant be used to comparison to others WIllis etc, because i doubt he stands 15 yards from LOS and get exploited that way,

    would I be a good quarterback if i consistently threw to a WR that dident get covered before the 15 yard line? no need to force a 25 yard play if you can get 10 yard as easy as our defense gives them... I cant wait to see Angerer in our new scheme because i'll think he does good,

    because he is good, not because our scheme is bad, and he get exploited

    sorry for my bad English its my second language.
