He sucks at Call of Duty?

Meh....balance that good hit against the "OLE" whiff on Rapitsburger in the Steeler game. Belcher's playing better, still needs work.

He's a good run stuffing MLB, so focus more on his body of work over one play against a QB known for making defenders look foolish.

Change of direction.

Never seen a guy get juked by Joe Flacco before.

Again, meh.
He has one decent game against the Bears. I can show you just as many "lowlights" of Belcher being pancaked, or losing pass coverage, or missing a tackle as "highlights" in the past year.

I agree he is improving. He's not Derrick Johnson, that's for sure. And I'd say Houston has passed him in pass rushing effectiveness.

He's not the biggest problem on the team, that's for sure. But he has lots of room to improve.

Belcher has had more than one decent game, and actually it was an outstanding game.

He has been a regular on GIF'D UP since last years 49ers game where he totally destroyed a play.

PFF actually has him ranked as the 13th best ILB against the run (that includes ILB and MLBs in 4-3s). He's a good player but struggles in pass coverage. You're going to have at least one of those guys in just about any 3-4.

:spock: If you think he's only had one decent game, you either haven't been paying attention or you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

And Omega comes through with the data to back it up.

"But, but, but...Belcher's just a guy. REPLACE HIM!" /insert name

Probably one of my favorite gifs ever:

Another good one:

Belcher is a good 2-down LB'er. He's definitely the guy you pull in the nickel package. Heh. That said, I can just imagine Pioli salivating over DJ + Hightower.

I pulled a DJ play from 2007 to show that he's really been doing this his entire career. He's just more consistent now.

Nobody would contest that point. That's exactly what DJ said.

I remember he led the league in tackles for loss one year.

That's almost the identical play from Derrick there.
