Studs and Duds - Week 17 New Year's Day!

[Fritz]

For those of you who watched closely or have re-watched, how did the outside linebackers stack up? The GBPG suggests that no one really stood out, while The JSO says that Jones may have won the starting job for the post-season opposite Matthews.

Suh is a classless player. He does the Rodger’s belt move after he sacked ….. Flynn? What an idiot! If he had sacked ARod I could understand (I guess) but you sacked the Packers 2nd string QB who was lighting your D up.

Players mock other players TD dances all over the league. See Laurent Robinson's mocking Victor Cruz's salsa shuffle after his TD on Sunday night.

Fritz, I believe they are replaying the game on NFL network tonight.

Bush disappointed me with the opportunity he was given on Sunday. Despite his reputation among the fanbase I think he has become quite the football player. Its just not easy to play that nickle corner spot in space in the middle of the field but he's got the size/movement skills to cover. Yesterday he was responsible for a few breakdowns but even worse were some of the angles he took to the sideline--horrendous. Him and Pat Lee are still the best duo of gunners in the NFL though.

Bush was awful in coverage in this last game. Awful! He got a gift interception. There are some plays where you don't know who is at fault, but there were just as many where it was clear that it was Bush.

Saw one play that was either him or a LBer that took the wrong coverage, not sure who was at fault; it could easily have been Bush. Saw him get beat by a perfect throw by Stafford to a TE that he almost got a hand on, nothing wrong with that play, but I heard people complain anyway. Also saw him make a break on the ball that should have been a pick six for 100 yards. He dropped the ball, but made a great read. There were a ton of passes completed against all the DBs, is Bush the only DB we expect no passes to be completed against?

BF obaloo, the problem was more about Stafford being able to pitch a tent most of the game.

McGinn's praise for Bush is awfully general: "Jarrett Bush played with all-world intensity as the slot fill-in for Woodson." I was not upset with any particular coverage by Bush, he seemed OK, but he should have scored on that missed INT. McGinn thinks Burnett's fumble recovery should have gone for a TD as well.

But he blasts Williams and Shields more and gives the unit an overall 1 football grade.

BTW, who knocked the ball out on the fumble? I thought Bishop made the tackle and Jones forced the fumble. But two publications have it as Bishop. I think that is wrong and I thought it was clearly Jones on replay.

I thought it was Bishop when I saw it live. He tried to strip the ball with his arm, but it may have been coming out before that... I haven't seen a replay.

I'm wrong again. I think this was one of those plays where Bishop was rushing as LOLB.

The best part of that whole scene was Crosby. While the security guy missed his own tackle and Jones brought him down and then went into his little mini celebration, Crosby just kept warming up for his kickoff like he didn't have another thought in the world. Classic.
