Allstarjim Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 A thread to make Jack smile. Who is with me that Chase should be the starting middle linebacker? If not, who should it be? And it's not just about the INT, either... Chase showed more in one game, just being signed last week, than what we've gotten out of any of the rookies. Make that guy the starter. We can go from dismal to decent. They screwed the pooch by cutting Chase, IMO, and counting on rookies to play MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, this showed me that Chase should be on the team.....cutting him was a mistake. He's always been a very good special teamer, and the guy hustles every play. His achilles heel is his speed, but alot of time, a veteran can compensate for that by reading the play and taking the proper angle (as he showed with his pick).

gmenroc Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 A huge improvement on what we had. Athletically, he might be a detriment over the rookies, but we're more in need of experience at the LB level than we are of athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman329 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 No, I think he was OK....and it's surprising he didn't get any other offers. He is clearly pumped to be back (doubt whatever else he was doing paid as well) and it looks like he'll contribute. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up wearing the headset, in fact.

Treehugger Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought there had to be some strong reasoning not to bring him back after Goff went on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 At the very least, Chase is an excellent backup.....you can plug him in at LB (any spot), and he'll give you good effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I hate to give Jakk another thread to create on I told you so but he was decent. Fewell has said a few times that the D has been confused many times. Hopefully knowledge over speed can help. Also with Tree, I know Blackburn was injured at one time but I don't think it was like a Suebert or O'Hara situation where they couldn't play at all.

That's not what you said on my original Blackburn thread. As a matter of fact, a lot of you were pretty relentless in giving me shit about it. Joemorris, you were the first to respond with this: It's a new season, fellas!!!!! Now you're on his dick? Time for all of you to eat some crow.

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It also proves how truly lost our LB's are if a guy can come in off of the street and have a positive effect on the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a great weekend. First time I could say that in a while... even the game.. I didn't feel too badly about the loss... Eli is a fucking GOD.

JackStroud Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I've been telling you guys this for years......after my early on Victor Cruz Pro Bowl pick you would think I would get more respect My next pick is cowher for head coach........heard him interviewed on Sirius tonight......the guy is terrific, much better than I thought- Coughlin with personality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 In my Cruz post you are bashing the Pro Bowl and it's entire selection process, and on the same night, you're praising yourself and your Pro Bowl selections. Not to mention, in your on-par prediction thread, he considers Devin Thomas to be the receiver more likely to have a big year, and recently made like 3 threads getting on other posters for "doubting" his assertion that Victor Cruz was going to be a star. Humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
