Linebackers: Shaq Thompson, Panthers (-7.1) and Kelvin Sheppard, Dolphins (-4.0)

Thompson missed more tackles (three) than he made (two). That alone should tell you what kind of a day it was for the linebacker, and explain his very poor -5.1 run defense grade. Sheppard also was poor in the run defense game (that seems to be a theme today), making only one solo stop and missing a tackle. He too was simply unable to get off blocks at the second level and make any kind of plays.

That's one of the worst grades I think I've ever seen one of our guys get from PFF... damn

Lol well that single game just completely torpedoed his standings in their top rookies of the year race

Speaking of Shaq, did you catch in the background when Ron was ripping him a new ass after the 15 yard penalty he earned for the late hit after a turnover?  He was lighting him up.

Ahh, didn't have sound when I was watching, was wondering who that was.

i know its not popular to say but I have seen nothing of Shaq Thompson that looks like a first round draft pick.

late second or 3rd, maybe, but first, nope.

Maybe it's scheme, maybe it's learning, or maybe he's reach, I don't know but if you can't tackle in the NFL.....we all know how the sentence finishes...its a production league.

...and yes I know all about him 'learning' in his first year, but tackling, come on.

Yeah, there was no audio of it but you could see Shaq heading towards the bench area and Rivera was following him and very animated.

I just didn't notice that, but there must've been audio of the ref saying the penalty was on 54.

      Bears fire Matt Eberfus

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      According to multiple players and staffers in the locker room, some players were asking why Eberflus didn’t call a timeout. Other players got going, too. “Guys were furious,” a staff member said. “It was an accumulation of this season.” “The locker room was ugly,” another staffer said. “There was a lot of yelling.” Said the first player: “We felt as players it’s been too many instances where we fought our way back into games to lose because of bad time management and decision-making.” Multiple sources added that the emotions were so high between the players and their head coach that Eberflus left the locker room immediately after his speech and the exchange with players. There was nothing left to say. It was a moment for this Bears team that would inevitably force chairman George McCaskey into something the franchise had never done before. By Friday morning, Eberflus was out — but not before the team decided to have him address the media over Zoom just after 9 a.m. Two hours later, he was gone. The Bears made it official by sharing statements from general manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By rayzor · Posted

      You take all this stuff too personally.  Learn to detach. Lol or don't. It's up to you. People don't have the same appreciation or longing for him you seem to have. For me, I just don't understand it. Basically a footnote in Panthers history. Go ahead if you feel he needs it or you need it, but most apparently just don't know why it's such a big deal. Comparing him to guys like kuechly or cam is kind of weak. Those guys made a huge impact on the franchise. Wilks was just a guy we had as a DC a couple times and got him to be an interim. Mildly interesting, but not much more than that as time goes on.

      @adamjahns   In Detroit, Bears players finally had enough. The locker room was an ugly scene. Players yelled back at their head coach — and he left. The inside story on the final days of Matt Eberflus and where he lost his team.  https://x.com/adamjahns/status/1862848299981541516
