Anyone else impressed with Jason Shirley?

[jtnc]

He had Ryan escaped from the pocket at least two times, too bad no one could wrap him up. Dude maybe someone we should keep around.

[Mr. Scot]

For yesterday, sure.

Need a bigger sample to be certain, though.

[Jangler]

surely you can't be serious?

[jtnc]

He's also versatile, he was put on the field goal unit as well.

[Mr. Scot]

Saw that one coming a mile away :lol:

He and The Big Niblet did look decent yesterday.

[Zithers]

i'm kind of disturbed that neblett and practice squad scrubs/7th round rookies/UDFA are helping our run D more than the 3rd round rooks we selected ourselves.

whatever works though, i guess. rivera mentioned in his presser today that shirley did a solid job except on one play he flushed ryan outside when the blitz was coming up the middle iirc.

[Tarheels23]

He played pretty good, but I'm not looking to judge my NT by how well he rush the passer.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I was very impressed with him, Kearse and Neblett. They are playing well.

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea, he seemed to be collapsing pockets and forcing Ryan to roll out all day. He was very impressive yesterday.

Rookie DT's not named Suh take time to develop.

[TruCatzFan]

Equally impressed with Applewhite

[Marguide]

Rookie DT's not named Suh take time to develop.

I think everyone here understands that DT's need time to develop. That doesn't mean that they should play damn near every snap for the first 9 games to the detriment of the rest of the team.

If they need development time, put them behind someone better and use them in a rotation until they prove they can handle it.

Keeping them on the field at all costs this year has been, imo, asinine.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Kearse is a 7th round rookie I think? And he's played pretty well, wouldn't mind going into next year with the DTs we have right now. If these guys finish the season strong the coaching staff might have some hard decisions to make next training camp

[mav1234]

Overall I've been impressed with our DTs since our two 3rd rounders got put on IR, though personally I do think Mcclain had his moments.

Unfortunately our corners got the poo exposed out of them. Butler can play but he isn't going to win every battle, and he needs safety help often. Would be a better nickle I think.
