Sorry...Snake's had a lot' O stuff going on lately and haven't been on here much in the past 2 weeks....but saw all 3 preseason Packer games in HD-DVR splendor (aka rewind again and again) and Snake is not gonna gloat, but hey I said it over and over again over a year ago, and in the offseason....
Bishop might not have a starting role lined up, yet this cat needs some playing time. At last check, he was leading ALL preseason NFL players with his 2 INT's, thus far, and has looked VERY good in pass coverage.
Some Rats have mentioned in the past on PR, Bishop lacks ball awareness/coverage ability, but really, he looks good in pass coverage for a slow ass LB (granted his 40 times are pedestrian, but his game speed blows away the 2nd team he plays with).
What does Popps do better than Bishop? Anything? I see a pure GAMER out of Bishop....a gamer ala Woodson, Driver, ARod.........guys that do stuff to win games and love to play with teammate rallying behind them. Go check the Twitters.
Going off stats, he has what...1 or 2 sacks....? OK, but in EVERY preseason game thus far he has blown up his man at the point of attack, and harrassed the living hell out of EVERY QB (must have at least 10 plus....EASILY....pressures but prob. 15 pressures, where the the QB has had to throw the ball up for grabs..with many of those pressures leading to picks and/or incompletions.
His ball skills are unbelievable (diss him if you want as a 2nd team guy) as his knockout hitting/tackles and inane ability to make a tackle out of nothing are noteworthy. The LSU rookie looked good tonite, but the Bishop made many plays that didn't get sacks/ints like in the first 2 preseason games...pressures/hits/tackles. This guy (Bishop) shows up again and again when you look at the film (DVR the games). Guy just is all over the ball...reminds Snake of Ray Lewis without the murdering shit....
Snake's Take:
This kid can play some NFL football. He'd start for most teams but we are hella deep on LB, and it looks like politics keep him away from starting for the Packers....What you say...Ok..contracts.....Popps and Hawk have long term big money deals, but haven't made 10% of the instinctive ball-hawking skills or tackling/hitting ability that Bishop puts on like a Chuck Cecil clinic. That kid (Bishop) is ALL OVER the field. Can't remember Hawk or Popps (other than a lucky fumble recovery, etc.) making ANY plays like Bishop has shown OVER AND OVER. Politics (and mostly contracts) prevent the the Bishop from starting.
So what...He needs to play. His stats, but esp. his game-changing ability (other than rookie Wynn tonite) I haven't noticed anyone on the 2nd team D that makes plays, yet Bishop play after play makes pressures, hits, etc. that help this team on D....His name comes up again and again...
He dominates and stands out. ....been saying this for over a year, and the media is latching on to it. Perhaps, the Bishop is the lone bright spot on the 2nd/3rd team D?....
