Does this really apply to Shanle?

We used to have a guy that posted here who used words like "hyperbolic", and "clearly" and "moreover" and all that crap. I hated that guy.

I also hate math, so now every time I see "hyperbolic" I get to double-down, so to speak. LOL

fantastic analysis.

we could use more tape analysis when we bicker over performance. TV angles and limited view of the action grossly misrepresent the complexities of the game, and as such, tend to reinforce poorly constructed opinions.

So what are you saying xan?

Somtimes not hearing a guys name during a game is a good thing.As is the case with Shanle.

TheDeuce · 02-26-2010, 08:04 AM

No, that's never a good thing a linebacker. You want a linebacker to have 10+ tackles a game. Shanle had 63... all season.

If it was an offensive lineman? Sure, never want to hear his name. But you're supposed to hear linebackers' names. When defensive backs are making more tackles than your linebackers, there's an issue.

Sharper speaks very highly of Shanle and calls him under rated.

I think Shanle is better the the Monday Morning Quarterback Armchair Nation that has never put on pads gives him credit for.

SapperSaint · 02-26-2010, 09:57 AM

I was never a big fan of Shanle.

Until this year. I wouldn't say I am man crushing on him.... but he had a good year.

Yes, Dallas Clark kinda owned him, but who didn't Clark have a good game against? Besides, when it mattered Shanle made the play.

Now, I am not saying we don't need someone to fill his shoes.... because I was really hoping Dunbar was going to step up... but just as with every other position we need someone learn the starters jobs to take over and make it better.

tackles for linebackers are usually directly related to how good or bad your defensive line is

if the defensive line clogs up holes, then the LBs wont make tackles......if the LBs are makin a lot of tackles, it means that the defensive line isnt doing its job

and in pass defense, shanle most likely isnt going to be the first one to the ball if its thrown on the other side of the field......maybe thats coincidence or maybe shanle is good enough at pass coverage that QBs wont throw it to the receiver or area he is guarding.....in that case, hes not going to make a whole lot of tackles

usually a LB is the leading tackler on the team....but its usually followed by the strong safety and then another LB......thats how it is for most teams
