Oher and Allen- not worried about them. Thompson missing more tackles than he made is not good.

"Did anybody see this coming with Norman?" - A big fat YES.

[RelaxImaPro]

Linebackers: Shaq Thompson, Panthers (-7.1) and Kelvin Sheppard, Dolphins (-4.0)

Thompson missed more tackles (three) than he made (two). That alone should tell you what kind of a day it was for the linebacker, and explain his very poor -5.1 run defense grade. Sheppard also was poor in the run defense game (that seems to be a theme today), making only one solo stop and missing a tackle. He too was simply unable to get off blocks at the second level and make any kind of plays.

That's one of the worst grades I think I've ever seen one of our guys get from PFF... damn

Lol well that single game just completely torpedoed his standings in their top rookies of the year race

[Mr. Scot]

This is why I hate stats-only analysis.

[TheRed]

Thompson is still fairly raw so not going to hold that against him too much.

When was the last time Allen played in a 4-3, two years ago? Probably going to take a few games for him to get acclimated

Speaking of Shaq, did you catch in the background when Ron was ripping him a new ass after the 15 yard penalty he earned for the late hit after a turnover?  He was lighting him up.

Agreed. I remember one of the tackles that h DID make being super clutch.

Ahh, didn't have sound when I was watching, was wondering who that was.

i know its not popular to say but I have seen nothing of Shaq Thompson that looks like a first round draft pick.

late second or 3rd, maybe, but first, nope.

Maybe it's scheme, maybe it's learning, or maybe he's reach, I don't know but if you can't tackle in the NFL.....we all know how the sentence finishes...its a production league.

...and yes I know all about him 'learning' in his first year, but tackling, come on.

Yeah, there was no audio of it but you could see Shaq heading towards the bench area and Rivera was following him and very animated.

I see you missed the first 3 games.  Welcome back...

I just didn't notice that, but there must've been audio of the ref saying the penalty was on 54.

I didn't think much of him then either.  Had binoculars on him at the home games.

I'm not impressed but it's not me he has to impress.  He was pegged as an impact player, what has he impacted? 

So
