"This one is different"

Yeah, and I am in no way saying "we need to replace him", just that if i see more plays like that this year, i'm pulling something to get his eventual replacement this offseason, if i'm emery.

But yeah, I saw him miss a tackle he probably would have made a few years back. But I'd also give some credit to that little bowling ball Tolbert. Those were some nice moves for a guy built like he is.

I blame it on his knee more than his age. He's probably up to about 65% right now. But #54 at 65% is still pretty darn good. As his knee improves, he'll get better. But until then, he's the General out there, calling the plays. Roach might be more physically able now, but who would you rather have at MLB? In fact, who from the rest of the league would you want to replace him with?


Note: I say "you", but this is not directed at you, soul, just general thoughts to whoever I'm talking too.

Patrick Willis, and maybe in a year, Derrick Johnson.

1 or 2 guys only? That's my point. There aren't that many guys better than 54, even with the injury.

I'm lazy, lol. Physically, i'm sure there's more. Mentally, not a one.

I didn't take it as a personal question Shark but I can answer that question. :smile:

Kuechely, but we didn't draft high enough to get him just like we won't draft high enough to get Te'o this year either. There's a price to be paid for success. :alright: Poor Lovie. LOL

I'm having a hard time remembering a win where we needed the Offense to go down the field.

Cutler can do that.

I'm glad we have him.
