Sharper misses alot of open field tackles

What a load of horse manure.

He has missed a few, NOT a lot.

A lot is two words, not one.

Well, if there's one person who would recognize a load of horse manure...

I guess all those interceptions and pick-sixes from last year that Sharper ran back were just "cleaning up" as you put it?

Oh PUH-LEEEZ Nancy...

Go ahead and make your point now - You saying Sharper is overrated???

And you can't call it a "cheap blind side hit" anyway - Stewart wasn't even on the ground. That was a head's up play to lay the wood when he needed to.

You call it "cheap", I call it "opportunistic".

Like I said......

Sharper misses alot of open field tackles but everyone overlooks that.

Okay, show me where Sharper misses more open field tackles than any other FS.

And I don't think anyone here is anointing him MVP of the team... Shaper is an elite FS who does thrive in GW's system because he gets to play FS - something he didn't do in Minnesota.

IF you wanna knock a player down a notch, let's look somewhere else.

Thing is, the other people that have played in his absence haven't benefited as well as he has. The man is a playmaker's playmaker. Period. Being in the right place at the right time is not an accident or luck. It's pretty clear to me that we are a better defense when he is on the field. I don't have to look too far beyond that.

I'll take his experience at the FS spot, over Jenkins any day. You can't argue 14 years of getting it done wherever he played.

Sharper's nickname should be "The Clean Up Man", because that's what he does is clean up after other guys make plays.

What about all those horrible open field missed tackles by Sharper today?

Sed Ellis played out of his mind today. Good job D, but still some work to be done.

C'mon man!!!! It's almost funny that Jenkins didn't get lucky. Huh?

Sharper is the man and he has picture perfect tackling. He delivers legal bone jarring hits. The man can play some football.
