Rouse released

Stuffed pizza? WTF is that?? Kalories galore???

Best pizza in the world is found in southern Italy; Naples & Rome.

Had some in both of those cities, it was phenominal.

You know, they make a good pizza in NY too.

Very cool, I've been to Naples once and Rome twice. My family & I were in Garda town (second trip) earlier this year but pizza ain't their strongest game - they make super bigoli with clam & squid plus other great fish dishes. Soups too.

NY has numerous great restaurants - even great curry dishes.

French food is overrated but local dishes from Provence are superb.

Steve Tasker got tossed out of his final game. Does Bush have to be a Steve Tasker to play teams. To be fair, you can't put up with a moron who gets motion penalties on teams, but Bush has been an effective teams guy. But let's be honest, should we be talking about this now. OK, say Collins and Rugby are healthy, we still are not set at safety. Shouldn't this have been addressed in the off season?? Who wants to dig up the 'available FA safeties' thread or the 'Safeties in the draft' thread. I don't care what TT thinks of Rugby, the position should have been upgraded.

I actually think Bush gets way more crap than he deserves. I think he's a very solid 5th corner and special teams dynamo.

I predict that Rouse is picked up by a 3-4 team. The odds are against it, though. I think he'd make a really good rover player. The Pack should have used his length to blitz off of the edge.

Why? Because "people say" he's unblockable as a gunner? Not to mention he's good for plenty of ST penalties and boneheaded plays whenever he has an opportunity. I can't seem to recall one play in the same league of plays that I remember Steve Tasker (a real special teams dynamo) making on the regular. Maybe you could help refresh my memory.

The whole question I've had has finally been flushed out here in this thread... yall finally came around.

Why was Rouse on the team ahead of Smith in the first place?

Him and Tracy White made a zillion big times special teams play in 2007. They're not needed any more, though, as Brett Swain is the real deal

No but to be called a "special teams dynamo" by Partial he better at least be in the same ballpark.

Bush is a good troop and all, but he's a lunkhead.

He had two ST penalties last week fer chrisskes. They finally took him off the punt team so they could get the punt off.

2007....


2007...........


Great. Of course I cannot recall one great ST play from 2007. Maybe you could spark our memory. Give us one of those zillion plays so we have some hope.

Yeah, for a guy whose offer from Tennessee was matched because he was so important to special teams, that's not so good - you have to pull him just to get the damn play off.

This is a weird season already. A solid victory over the Rams will make the world seem a little more normal.

[SkinBasket]

I'm totally on the Bush bandwagon now. Start him. He's obviously awesome. Or he was 2 years ago. For a day.

Yeah, he got the penalties. But he's been the top ST gunner for a long time now.

He's great at being swallowed up by blockers.

There was a point of emphasis about the LOS this year. Does anyone remember? Did it have anything to do with Special Teams?

I thought it had to do with the linemen actually being within the correct distance of the line of scrimmage.

DOWN GOES ANOTHER TT draft pick

[Partial]

Bedard's latest article alludes to the fact that many vets thought Rouse didn't earn his keep, and that there are other players on the roster that are in a similar position.

Interesting read. Good to see Rodgers being a team leader, but I have to wonder how the teammates respond to him talking about younger guys when it's only his second year started. That said, good to see a positive message from him as opposed to Cutler.
