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

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.

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

      Are all veterinarians this greedy ?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Like a lot of things in today's economy, market concentration is a huge issue in the vet space. Mars (yeah, the chocolate company) owns roughly half of them with their control of Banfield and VCA as well as numerous smaller chains. Oh, and all that Royal Canon food the vets are prescribing and recommending? Yeah, that's owned by Mars too. Don't even get me started on the racket that is "prescription" dog food and how incredibly uneducated the average vet is on basic pet nutrition. Back to the actual clinics... private equity ghouls who care about literally nothing but profit own another 30%. Now you're down to roughly 20-25% of clinics that aren't under the thumb of Mars or private equity.

      like any profession, a lot of them are very greedy and balloon up bills.  My buddy is a vet.   When he was first starting out he had BIG issues with the vet he was employed with because he was expected to drive up bills.    He now owns his own practice driven by that very reason.  Good man that wants to sleep good at night....doing what he set out to do at a young age (with the same reason in mind, to help animals and people).  But per him, a HUGE % of small animal vets are just gouging the f out of people.  like most things, I want the most mom and pop variety I can find.  The bigger practice, like most businesses, it more likely is owned and operated to make as much money as possible at the end of the day.
