they kept saying he got a new deal, but they didn't say what it was??? 5 year extension at what price???
anyway, he really has shown that he can be an impact player. just goes to show what can happen when you have coaches who can actually evaluate talent!!!!!!! same thing with cotch. i've been saying for two years that this kid should be playing but f ing herm would never give him his shot. the future is very bright!
Victor Hobson has also improved immensely. He's still pretty slow, but he works very well in the 3-4 scheme.
Um, um, um, I mean, um, um, Bryan Thomas may not seem too sharp but he is definitely stepping up lately, which is good since we just signed him long term.
5 for 25 mil...9 mil bonus...he's earning his money so far (tongue in cheek)...looks like we kept the right DE, no pun intended, because he actually plays after he gets paid...AND we got mangold...Boo-Yeah!
they both have pro bowl skills and are thriving this year. Hobson is a sure tackler and blitzer and thomas has a nose for the quarterback with 6.5 sacks on the year but can we please stop sayin we need to draft a linebacker.... if anything we should draft a defensive end a cornerback or marshawn lynch(only if cedric and leon dont work out which from what i was today they should)
The post-centennial Holy shit...my 100th post was about Bryan Thomas...WEIRD! Oh, well might as well get used to it :up:
Hobson has been playing very well this season. Thomas is stepping up. Coleman looked very good in the Green Bay game. Poteat looks like the weak leak in the D right now.
Poteat looked good until he gave up that driver TD and he did well last week...he is actually looking like a good backup...maybe even better than miller.
Ehhh, at least Poteat is a great tackler. Thing is, he's not the best cover man, which is pretty key for a, um, cover man.
THomas is stepping up big time. He's up to 6.5 sacks, has a ton of tackles around the line of scrimmage and is playing with more consistency. Hobson is playing great as well, he's been a tackling machine lately. I like the progress that's been made in our 3-4.
All we need is someone w/ size and power to replace Kimo long term, one more pass rusher, and alil more speed in the secondary...and we're looking at avery good 3-4 D long term.
