Twigby is always injured. He's like a twig. Thus the name.
Dissapointed to hear Bishop didn't get any reps this week. WTF. He is a playmaker.

Bigby basically admitted to playing soft during the preseason to avoid injury and get his handle on the new defense. That ought to have ended with the last preseason game. He also berated the media for ditching him so fast in favor of Smith.
We'll see if he's back to normal on Sunday. I personally think he'll bounce back just fine.
All reports on Bishop were that he was a playmaker who took more risks than the coaches were comfortable with. That's not what we are looking for while we are installing the new system. Two sacks and a loss of containment of Forte would lose us the game. -

With Atari Bigby, at least the media gets his name correct. Who the F is Lewis Tillman?

Re: Twigby ready to set doubters straight
He made some plays in the first 2 preseason games when utilized heavily in an aggressive role on a defense that was dominating the opposing team.Originally posted by Partial
Interesting how you label Bishop a "playmaker" after the preseaon, while Rodgers is simply "improved." I sense a discrepancy in your fanboy logic."You're all very smart, and I'm very dumb." - PartialComment

Ding..Ding...Ding! We have a winner!!Originally posted by SkinBasketBut Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Re: Twigby ready to set doubters straight
I only recall the ankle injury last season....now granted, I only have 2 seasons of knowing who the hell he is, but one injured ankle doesn't make "always injured"...am I forgetting some??Originally posted by PartialThe only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

Bishop is a solid back up thats it.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

bigby is still over rated to me. he had a good run in the playoffs 2 years ago, and that's been it. and really you only say he had good games because he had a handful of big hits in those games
besides those big hits, in those few games, he's been JAG for us. he has yet to show the same effort and intencity that he showed in those few gamesComment

I'm not too big on the idea of Bigby being all that big. Be that as it may be, big hits by Bigby would be big."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Re: Twigby ready to set doubters straight
They both were playmakers this preseason. Didn't Bishop force 4 turnovers?Originally posted by SkinBasketComment

Re: Twigby ready to set doubters straight
He missed his rookie year with a broken ankle. I think there was an injury that kept him outta the U too. He could have had another season ender as a pro too. I think this is his 4th or 5th year with one full non-injured season under his belt.Originally posted by bobbleheadComment

He's an important ST guy too. He has the perfect mentality for a special teamer, in terms of being willing to sacrifice his body in order to deliver crushing hits. Now, he'll probably never be Steve Tasker, but he'll stick as a member of our special teams for as many seasons as he's willing to play like a man possessed.Originally posted by Tony Oday</delurk>Comment

I could be wrong, but weren't you all over Grant's jock for having a great run at about the same time? Other than those few games grant hasn't been anything special either.Originally posted by red
As for them only being good games because of the handful of big hits, I would say the interceptions down the stretch that year were kinda big. He was excelling at pass and run defense before he hurt his ankle.
Now if partial is right and its been the same old story, big hitter, always hurt, then his career may fizzle, but if he is indeed healthy and plays the way I recall (he and grant) I think we are in for a BIG season.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

Re: Twigby ready to set doubters straight
rookie year: Nope. He was signed midseason by us off practice squad and played 5. He was out at the end for 3 games with a hammy.Originally posted by Partial
U: Nope. He didn't have an injury...he just wasnt good enough.
It might be nice if you could get your facts straight.Comment

Re: Twigby ready to set doubters straight
I don't think you understand Ty: any player who was injured last year, regardless of whether or not he missed playing time in the past due to injury, is "injury prone". We can make up injuries from the past in order to justify these claims if need be.Originally posted by Tyrone Bigguns</delurk>Comment
