What the hell? It's the guys second game and even at this early stage, Hicks couldn't shine his shoes. He swarms the ball any time a play is in his area. He is going to be a play maker for us.

Mitch and Len were raving about him all day yesterday.

Nope. As much was expected from Ryan Sims. I'm just keeping the status quo.

He did well i saw him in many plays, he is 10x better than hicks, atleast he was in on tackles and not running after a guy and getting beat constantly.

He didn't get any sacks, but Plummer was knocked on his ass pretty hard more than once......Denver didn't have a single successful Bootleg, and Hali was in view of tackles and piles from sideline to sideline.

He doesn't have any sacks yet, but he was also being blocked by a TE to help Foster yesterday. He's all over the field and a HUGE upgrade over Hicks.

From what I can tell, Hali is making as much or more of an impact on our Defense than the #1 pick in the draft is for the Texans.

Meanwhile our fourth round pick knocked down at least two passes and was double teamed much of the day. I suppose Hali was doubled as well?

Is it unfair? Hell no. It's up to everyone on this team to perform well at their job to win a championship. The offense was putting up 30+ points a game, but that didn't keep people from bitching about Sammie Parker or Kris Wilson. Now the defense plays it's first credible game in 5 years and the rookie is immune to criticism?

The makeup of this team has changed. The pressure is on the defense to be a large reason this team wins. Herm said that from the get-go. How many sacks does this team have this year? 1? 2? Youn think expecting a little more from our 1st round DE is unrealistic?

So in other words, you didn't watch the game and don't have a clue about anything.

Good to know.

Sims, LOL, now that WAS a bust, but he's been here how long?

This thread is so dumb, I'm having a hard time forgiving you.

Not hearing his number beats the hell out of hearing Eric Hicks' number on every big play we give up.

donkhater 09-18-2006 09:47 AM

He's a solid player. #1 picks are game-changers with talent to support it.

Larry Johnson--check
Trent Green (traded a #1 for him)--check
Tony Gonzalez--check
Derrick Johnson--made mistakes his first year, but dropped jaws from day one.

Hali--??

Iowanian 09-18-2006 09:48 AM

Taco...
Put donkhater back on the phone.

hali is all over the field.

Phobia 09-18-2006 09:49 AM

So you qualified Derrick Johnson's first year but made no provisions for Trent Green's? Wow.

donkhater 09-18-2006 09:49 AM

So far about the only good thing said about him is that he is better than Hicks. Dubious praise indeed.

After this part I didn't need to keep reading. There is a reason they didn't bootleg as much yesterday. It wasn't because they forgot thats how you beat the Chiefs either. It was because Allen and Hali were containing it. The skill of a D-linemen is not in how many sacks they get. Sometimes just playing your position correctly makes it easier for others to get the tackle behind or near the LOS.

You obviously didn't watch the game.

Hali was near the ball on EVERY PLAY. He maintained outside contain and we held Denver to NINE POINTS.

This is quite possibly the dumbest "player rant" thread every posted on the Planet, and that's saying alot.
