    *iusesearchfeature*

    Just got back from the game. The only time i saw some production from THE GHOST he let off on a play and missed a tackle. Looked like a bust like last year.

    Am i wrong?

    nothing terrible, but nothing too productive. Where is the hate for Bart Scott if you're gonna hate on VG?

    - He did bust through line a least 2 times.
    - He was caught up twice in the line.
    - He did get called on a ST penalty (oh no)
    - He did show some speed/power in getting past the OL
    - He did chase down the QB

    Why hate on him because our defense got 3 sacks, and he wasnt one of them?

    yea, he chased a QB around a few times. He took on some double teams, and he burst through the line a few times, only to have a QB throw the ball away or have a dump off pass occur. Yea, I'd say he's a bust :rolleyes:

    This is beyond retarded. I know we all assume hes a bust based on last year, but you can't assume he's a bust because he didnt get a sack tonight.

    which part of kenwin cummings' sack do you think VG could have executed?

    a) the burst
    b) the cut
    c) the grab
    d) the finish

    because i'm thinking 0 for 4.

    show me something that proves you know the slightest bit about football, and I'd be glad to answer that question.

    beyond retarded?

    i'll try to say this one more time: i'm not looking at the frigging box score. i'm watching him try to hold his own. he looks slow, unsure, off-balance, and he chances direction like a fire hydrant.

    Gholston was meh today, nothing to be impressed about but nothing to really be disappointed about. He forced Boller to throw it away which was pretty nice, didn't sack him but I remember Boller always having pretty decent mobility

    His box score was unimpressive. Not sure where it looked good to begin with. I was looking at his motor and ability to push through a line and chase the QB.

    Wow, didn't think you could fail that early into a statement.

    look, i'm not trying to hurt your feelings. i hope he pans out too. and i don't profess to be a football genius. i just think VG sucks grundle.

    and rather than proving something to you about my football acumen, i think i'll just state my opinion and hope i can get a good night's rest even knowing that i haven't changed your mind.

    beyond retarded like a fox!

    Gholston looked 150% better than he did last year. With that said, he still needs to improve a lot. However, I am much more optimistic about him

    why wouldn't you think someone who is beyond retarded would fail so early into a statement? if i were you, i would think, "Hey, i've already proven that this guy's beyond retarded, so I fully expect him to fail very early into his next statement. Yep, there it is. Epic fail right off the bat. Just as I expected."

    all that speed and power, but he's still soft.

    sometimes he almost uses it, and then he just fails to capitalize.

    there is no desire to be the greatest. I have no respect for him, and I used to defend him. I didn't do my homework until it was too late.

    When did I imply that my opinion was more valuable than anyone else's? I said something that you disagreed with, that's all. What's the big deal? Then you called me "beyond retarded" and "ignorant."

    It's all good, man, but I'm not sure what set you off. peace.
