Shanle-'Opponents solved Williams defense'

SaintPauly · 01-22-2012, 01:39 AM

I have to agree.... After our superbowl year, it seemed as if teams knew exactly what our defense was gonna do every down. The Seattle game always comes to mind. A better defensive scheme, with better tackling, and more fire, and i could see this team not playing for their second ring, but their third in a few weeks.... Instead, now we get to watch from the couch....

William's D got solved the same way when he was in Jacksonville. Just like Capers has in Green Bay. This new DC plays Jimmy Johnson D, nothing fancy but highly effective, just like it should be, great push with the front 4 and and ocassional lb. crashing the qb., safe but stout. Don't be to suprised if Shanle stays and thrives in his D.

Ya think?!

I'm disappointed Shanle said that. It makes me think there may have been some tension towards the end.

Shanle is a very smart player and will likely make a good NFL coach someday. He probably spoke up about the schemes in meetings and was shot down.

Shanle's not nearly as bad as many say but certainly isn't what I'd call a good LB. He's a lot like Fujita... average.

I think so too. His football IQ is very high and he's typically in position to make plays. If he has some more athleticism, he could have been a very good football player imo. I think he'll make a great position coach for someone down the road... very fundamental.

That's an insult to Fujita! As mediocre as Fujita was, he was smarter and FASTER than Shanle ever was. So what does that make Shanle?

Really?? Exhibit A (sound fx) has shown that he is neither smart or ever in a position to make a play. Had he been, we would be going to the dome to play the Giants.

Exactly...

He realized the scheme was bad - and I don't have a problem with his criticism now that the season is over...

I think he's much better than the criticism he receives here - but he's exposed as not being a perennial ProBowler...

LOL..perennial?? I just don't gt where this undying love for this dude comes from. He has done NOTHING..if I felt like wasting the time, I bet I could prove he is the worst starting LB in the league. I might just do it for chit and giggles but no matter how bad the stats are going to look some will still support him.

I have already posted his career stats but apparently he is still an avg LB.

Shanle needs to GO! He is just not effective. The players on the bench are better than him with a little coaching!
