How did Niemann and Sorensen look today?
 

Niemann has been talked up around here, so I was curious if he lived up to the hype.

Did the backend of the defense look any better with him back?

I had to miss quite a bit of the game, but I am curious as to what everyone thought.

Sorensen was okay.

Niemann looked like ass

Also rough offense to judge the back end against. Cards have one WR and he's a possession guy who doesn't go deep at this stage of his career. One of the best ever but not a deep threat a all anymore.

Niemann and ODaniel are like the Stanzi and Croyle of ILBs. You long for them to get into the game and when they do they absolutely blow it.

I thought except for a couple plays Nieman played well

For his first game back Sorensen had some nice stops and I am glad he is back. Nieman didn't play at a top level and looked a little lost at times but was still solid playing the roll.

They both looked better than BDB.

I think idiot Chief Fan can now see why Niemann wasn’t in the game previously. Sutton, Reid, and just about everyone but Niemann was blamed for his lack of playing time.

He led the team with 6 solo tackles today.

Let’s stop being so negative.

modified it for you:D

Neiman has potential. Looked a little lost a time or two. Made some plays, over ran a few...

At least he didn’t run away from plays like a LB we witnessed.

Wasn't that Neiman that muffed the onside kick?

Who exactly is this strawman Chief Fan you keep lording yourself over lately?

Can't think of anything meaningful either of them did in either direction. Which, on this defense, might mean they are a nice upgrade.

I thought after the replay review it looked like the AZ player had tipped it right before Neiman had it. All in all it didn't matter as it didn't hurt us any. But it sure would have been nice if he nabbed it for 6 which might have happened if he was able to secure possession!

I suppose I could dig up the Niemann posts, but I thought this would be less embarrassing.

I thought they played well and the D didn’t give up any big plays which is first I think.

I mean plenty of bad defensive players rack up tackles. IDP in fantasy has shed a very bright light on that fact. Both him and DOD need to add some weight.

I didn't focus on Niemann or Sorensen a ton. Sorensen was late on his coverage out of the backfield a few times but that's a pet-peeve of mine so I tend to notice that automatically. Murray also allowed Johnson to just be handed a 3rd down conversion the same way.

Oh please, you're jabbering just for the sake of it now

Hard to say, they were facing the NFL's last place offense.

As a Hawk fan, Niemann is who he is right now, and undrafted free agent, who's good on special teams and had some good plays on D, but showed his vulnerability as he is undersized for the inside. He may gain some size, but he filled in OK and that's all you can expect from a back up.

Niemann tried hard. And that's what counts.

Maybe someone should go back and quote some of your posts about Peters from earlier in the season. It wouldn't be pretty...

Lightening

Agreed. But he is a ST's player at best. He is just too undersized for any LB position for now IMHO.

At one point Niemann left his lunch pail out on the field and had to sprint back out to get it.

:clap:

He gets the 25% CP bonus ROFL

14 pts

Run defense was much better

Niemann is HOF bound

I don't know, but we gave up 14 so whatever we did and whoever we played, it worked well

sorenson can tackle.

Niemann does all the little things. He brings his hard hat to work everyday. They call him the janitor. Nothing flashy, just cleans shit up.

high motor
tough nosed
gritty
smart
coachable

Lunchpail, blue collar.

Niemann seems nice. I think he's probably very sweet.

He will get better. Not flashy guy so he will learn.

He’s the first guy in and the last guy to leave everyday.

I didn't see much of Sorensen. He was out there, but nothing happened of note.

Niemann made a couple of plays. I felt the Cardinals were rushing pretty well, but what else is new. Niemann was the team's leading tackler, but he didn't blow anything up.

So overall, they were on the field and that's about all I can conclude.
