PantherPhann89 955 Report post Posted April 20, 2012 He's a solid backup and a very good ST player. Glad to see him back with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snake 5,865 Report post Posted April 20, 2012 This article called him awesome. I called him not good. Last year was proof of him not being good. He was bad against the pass and run. The proof was in the games we watched all year. That was not good LB play. Not hard to grasp that. I use stats at times to support an argument .....stat sheets never tell you the full story. For example, you are trying to pimp Senn's stats as proof he is good? Problem is we all watched him last year....he was a good ST player and not LB. Im not trying to pimp anything. All Im saying is that you and a bunch other people like to cherry pick went stats matter and when they dont. Dude is just doing what a bunch of people on here do.

top dawg 9,968 Report post Posted April 20, 2012 Senn may not have been the best in pass coverage, but was adequate at stopping the run. No, he isn't necessarily an every-down, Pro Bowl LB, but to call him "terrible" is a stretch. I really don't think that Ron Rivera would have had Senn re-signed if he was "terrible". With the lack of an every-down threatening pass rusher on the D-line opposite of CJ, a run-stopping, pile pushing, tank of a DT with consistent ability to stop the run, and DBs including weak and strong safeties that were mostly spotty and a little shaky (save for Gamble), our 2nd and 3rd string LBs were in some respects the only reason we were able to hang on in some of those games. Now were they Beast or TD (circa 2009)? Of course not! But, they weren't chopped liver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He wasn't good against the run either. We were worst against the run to the outside. DT play gets all the blame....LB was just as sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said before I was making an observation nothing more. We will see where he ends up this coming season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argus Plexus 965 Report post Posted April 21, 2012 The only bad I can speak about the guy is he could get run over by larger offensive players if they got the jump on him cause of his size, and his size also makes him a liability in coverage (VJax is now in the NFCS remember) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthro 10,348 Report post Posted April 21, 2012 Anyone saying he was awesome just looked at a stat sheet and saw some tackles..... and makes an assumption Senn wasn't good. Scary people think that was awesome Pretty scary when people just look at tackles, huh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mav1234 3,230 Report post Posted April 21, 2012 Anyone saying he was awesome just looked at a stat sheet and saw some tackles..... and makes an assumption Senn wasn't good. Scary people think that was awesome Senn had a number of excellent plays. He made some mistakes, he was no all star, but I think saying "he wasn't good" implies he was below average and in general I think he was one of the few bright spots last year on D - admittedly because he offered hope of improvement over time, but still. he has the potential to be a great backup. I don't want him starting, but he is a good player to have on the team - and I think he contributed well last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herbert The Love Bug 2,313 Report post Posted April 21, 2012 A "Sennsational" read about our underrated, undersized LB. Senn really is undervalued and under-appreciated by many. Senn does have that je ne sais quoi about him, and can certainly be an X-factor in the coming season. The guy can never get enough love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRA 13,940 Report post Posted April 21, 2012 Pretty scary when people just look at tackles, huh Yeah, much different when you watch a game and see great instinct to the ball, tackles for little gain, loss of yards, and very strong coverage ability.....only some of that shows on a stat sheet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackofalltrades 9,523 Report post Posted April 21, 2012 I like Senn and thought he played very well, even again top talent like Jimmy Graham. The trio of Senn, Beason and Anderson could be very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
