BRUUUUUCCCEE

Cut him now!

Haha touche sir.

 

[bellingerga]

Where would we be without an elite defense this year? I shudder to think.

I hope the offense shows some more improvement next week, no more regressions. If we can start scoring in the red zone this team is going to be scary good. We've been in the red zone so much/..... if we could just start sealing the deal.

I know the struggles have been frustrating as hell but I don't think everyone realizes how close this team is...... it really comes down to scoring once we get in the red zone and our defense is going to give us ALOT of chances all year.

I just feel like we're on the edge of a breakthrough..... it's coming.

 

[AF_Hawk]

Entire defense was top notch today! I can't believe they held Carolina to 3 offensive points!

 

[Verndog]

The sack / fumble was awesome, but when he swatted Newton's leg and brought him down like a Gumby doll, that was incredible! I wasn't for this move on draft day and had my doubts...I'll gladly eat those questions with his play of late. :th2thumbs:

Ditto. That was a huge play and the kid will likely surpass my expectations for him. From a sack perspective, I felt he needed no less than 8 in his rookie year to show that he was worth the pick. He will surpass that and equally impressive to me is his motor. I think he must have played every snap in pre-season and he just goes and goes.

Desires to learn, has blazing speed and is absolutely relentless. Barring the I word ( I won't say it), he's gonna' be a monster for a long time. OCs will start game planning for him starting now. Good luck with that.

Did he do the wipe me down?

I saw it on the first sack but if he did it at the end of the game they didnt show it on tv...BRRRRUUUUUUUUUCCCEEE

"I was a reach at 15 though! Haaa loving proving y'all wrong it's only the beginning!"

"I only do this for my family, the state of WV and the 12's nobody else matters!"

AWESOME! I love it when a player calls out the number 12.

 

[JesterHawk]

So wait. Is he still a bust?

 

[HawKnPeppa]

So wait. Is he still a bust?

Obviously :mrgreen:

He'll have the most awesome bust in Canton history. It will look like a petrified predator.

 

[Twisted]

Every year some tool calls one or two of our rookies a bust after a couple pre-season games... its silly.

Another two I'd throw into this conversation are Okung and Carpenter.... Okung has been a little hit n miss this year but he's panning out to be a good player and Carpenter has flat out stunned me with his miraculous recovery and more than solid play since he came back.

Anyway, back on topic.... BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE. Love that dude! Bruce and CLem, such a great combo.

no false starts for Okung today? he must have got sum...

Too bad Okung got the iffy holding penalty. I see a definite improvement the games he's played in so far this season. GiImmaGuacamole deservedly rode the pine for awhile. I hope that helps him get his head straight.

 

[amill87]

I'm not impressed.

Upshaw would've already had 8 sacks this far into the season.

 

[BGHawk]

there are sacks and there are killer sacks ...that was the latter...freakin sweet

 

[ErikG803]

That's a nice little stat from Hawkblogger. Bruce becomes the 14th player in NFL history to reach 4.5 sacks in his first 5 games

:179422:

 

[SouthSoundHawk]

Someone get the draft experts on the phone and tell them thye hit the nail on the head! TOTAL BUST.


/sarcasm


Love this guy! I don't have enough money to purchase a Jersey for every player on the defense!

 

[Tech Worlds]

And the think that my great friend bestfightstory wanted Coples instead.

INCORRECT!

 

[volsunghawk]

Wait, what? Rookies often take time to develop? Who knew?

:179422:

Not only that. Hawkblogger also pointed out that Courtney Upshaw, Melvin Ingram, Quintan Coples, and Chandler Jones have combined for fewer sacks (3.5) than BRUUUUUUUCEEEE.

To be fair, Jones has three and Upshaw has .5 (Don't forget he dropped to round 2).

It's almost like there's a transition from college to the NFL.
