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

Re: A Defense of Scott Shanle
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. |

Re: A Defense of Scott Shanle
Somtimes not hearing a guys name during a game is a good thing.As is the case with Shanle.

Re: A Defense of Scott Shanle
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. |

Re: A Defense of Scott Shanle
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. |

Re: A Defense of Scott Shanle
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. |
