LB's

[Bossman641]

The LB's are rendered ineffective if your D-line cannot get a push. You can blitz them all day but your D-linemen are getting shoved aside and stood up therefore not creating any true gaps to shoot towards the QB. And against the run they are allowing the offensive linemen to get to the next level too easily and therefore able to throw blocks and hands on the LB's.

Barnett over runs plays too often, Hawk is solid but doesnt seem to shed blocks too well to get to the RB, and Poor Poppinga just cant cover a TE to save his life. The New kid you guys picked up in the off season that comes in for Poppinga is much better in pass coverage.

The Bears fan actually provided useful analysis. I see the same thing. When I watch other teams blitz it seems like the linebackers always have a gap to shoot through. When I see ours blitz it's like they always just run into a mob of bodies. I don't know if that is the LB's not seeing lanes, the DL not bodying up on the OL, or the scheme.

Go BEARS Go !

Did you move? I thought you were in Walla Walla??

Yes I did, ... Thank you for noticing...

The problem with our blitzes is we wait a few seconds then run into a wall. Our dline isn't eating up blockers or geting any push.

To me, it appears that Green Bays LBs are a good 3 yards off the line of scrimmage. Living in Dallas and of course they run the 3-4, their LBs are always 1 and at a max 2 yards off the LOS. So when the Packers do blitz, everyone knows who and when.

Looks like Lasanga got promoted from the practice squad. I bet the run D gets a boost.

I love lasagna...Tasty shit. Could eat that every day. Err...you mean the LB, doubt it makes a difference in 2008 as that was a move made for TT's future plans. How is our 5th or 6th LB gonna save the season? Does $4million dollar man Poppinga go to the bottom of the depth chart now? Nope, but we could only hope. This move will not mean anything for this year as Jolly has not played well and Pickett hasn't done much either. What happened to that crazy LB blitz package that Sanders promised early on? Unleash the beast Bob...it can't get any worse can it?

And speaking of linebackers, A.J. did a nice job at mike.

[gbgary]

as i mentioned earlier...i think hawk has found a home in the middle. he's not such a liability there in pass coverage.

[MJZiggy]

But then what are we gonna do with Barnett when he comes back?

how he does in camp will determine that.
