He is completely wrong.

Look we don't have the players who can rush the QB. If we did, it wouldn't matter if they knew what we are doing because we'd still be able to get to the QB or cover with speeding OLB's which Shanle is not.

He is a fraud and an idiot.

Only way he makes the team is a back up.

I don't agree with this at all. Prime example: We had Rob Ninkovich. We let him go and kept Shanle. Ninkovich had one helluva season. Shanle had, well.....a Shanle season. So.....there is something more there than "we didn't have anyone better".

Shut up, Shanle!

Watching the NYGs right now. If we had a Justin Tuck or Jason Pierre-Paul, teams wouldn't have "solved" anything.

Offenses win by scheming, defenses win by being better players.

I believe there was a pick missed in the Niner game, that would have sealed he game for us too.... I think it was Robinson that missed it... Coulda, woulda, shoulda though....

Vilma speaks highly of Shanle. I'll take his word for it over any fan.

Williams wasn't getting it done. They let him go. Cest la vie.
Same thing happened to Reggie Bush.

Shanle had some good games this year. He made enough plays in my mind to think he'd do okay in a different defense. We aren't all that starved for talent on the defensive side of things. GW was a one trick pony. He was effective enough against the right kind of offense, but when he'd encounter something different, he'd just hold on and hope we'd have the ball last. Hopefully Spag'll be able to adapt and adjust to what's happening on the field.

If you'd notice on the game winning score to V.Davis the 49ers TE was running a crossing route which lead Shanle right in the path of that pass and what he do ..... he %$#@ STOP it wasn't Robinson it was Shanle

I hate to go back to the Buddy Ryan days but the whole league knew he ran the 46-week in and out and if memory serves correct they never got gashed in the run nor the pass in the manner our defense has played also GW didn’t have the type of players he truly needed to run that system. Just think if we had the one stud D-lineman and the one stud LB (Vilma was approaching studdism prior to injuries) the tunes would have been different. Granted they may come up with an offense game plan but if your D is on it’s on. The Giants and 49ers play that type of D all season so no SHANLE they figured out that YOU and ROMAN HARPER are week links in coverage. If it was me Fujita would have stayed;

I must say I'm a little stunned to see Shanle said something like this. It is true and someone had to say it, I'm just surprised Shanle stepped up and said it.

Theres a bunch of Shanle haters out there and a few Shanle supporters, all in all you have to give him credit where its due though, the guy came into the league as a 7th rounder got bounced around from St. Louis to Dallas then got traded for a 7th rounder to New Orleans, won a Super Bowl Ring. All you haters ***** and moan about how mediocre he is. SOMETIMES YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
