Guess who led the team in tackles today?

[Carl Spackler]

How crazy that Chinn had the second-most tackles by a rookie in his debut in franchise history? The only one ahead is Lester Towns from 2000, which, ironically, is the last year we didn’t have an excellent MLB (til now).

6th round rookie DT Roy out played Short. 

I really wish I had paid more attention to him specifically. i have a good feeling about Roy.

Dude is huge and I saw got quite a few double teams yesterday. At the very least he is hungry. 

[SOJA]

Chinn essentially played box safety/LB by my eye yesterday 

I'd have to go back and watch to see how Brown did, saw a couple good plays, saw at least one where he was single blocked and didn't get much penetration (that happens even to Aaron Donald)

 

I'd say for their first games EVER (no preseason, no OTAs, weird TC) they did really well 

[SOJA]

Roy was my under the radar diamond in the rough pick. I think had we had a normal offseason he would have gone round 4 or maybe even 3

[DeAngelo Beason]

Ugh.  Shaq is painfully average.  

[Icege]

Shaq leads the team with 12 combined tackles and people are salty about it because a rookie with high expectations had 2 more solo tackles than he did?

Y'all dumb.

We are going to be feeling the lack of Luke this year...honestly we’ve been spoiled by good MLB play the last 20 years 

Lester Towns -> Dan Morgan  - > Chris Draft -> Jon Beason -> Luke 

 

We've been spoiled as fans for 20 years to have essentially 3 pro bowl/hof caliber players at mlb, and 1-2 serviceable players. We are going to be in a rough situation this year and fans aren’t going to be happy

We need one this draft. Idk how the current MLB crop is but we desperately need one.

I will say this. I think if Luke was on the field yesterday we easily would have won. A lot of time our D looked directionless.

I have a feeling Shaq would need to get 25 tackles a game for most huddlers to respect his game.  He led the team in tackles yesterday.

I would rather  our leading tackler not come from the secondary. 

Most of his tackles were within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage

Bruv, right?

All that man has done is produce and fans hate him because Gettleman drafted him to replace Thomas Davis.

Chinn is everything the team wanted from Thompson when they drafted him, and I hope he continues to get better each and every week. Had glimpses of TD in his prime with the flying around and way he tackles. My favorite memories of TD was when we would play the aints and he would wreck Jimmy Graham a few times when he was going into routes, and then Graham would be scared to catch over the middle. Hope Chinn gets to instilling fear into other teams as well.

Pride didn't look afraid to tackle either.  That one touchdown, he was in good position. One of the negatives on his scouting report is that he didn't play the ball often.  But he seems to have the speed and size.
