No love for Mitchell

Mike Mitchell is not a superstar. He's damn lucky to be a starter in the league. What he brings us is intangible.

It's tangible. 3 picks a sack or 2, couple of FFs and the the defense went from mediocre to great. I know star has a lot to do with it and that's what the media sees. The media doesn't realize that we have more picks than their "Legion of Boom". John Gruden gave us the indearing yet unflattering nickname, "Legion of Whom?"

Clearly the numbers suggests he is one of the top Free Safeties in the league.  How can you argue?

Bull. Not every safety we bring in is a talentless nobody who simply knows the playbook. Mitchell is a pretty athletic guy and is pretty damn fast. He was clocked at 4.3. He's the reason Wallace didn't win the game for Miami last week.

 

I'm not saying he's elite either but he's playing good football right now. His intangibles make him great for this defense.

 

 

Our defensive line for as much praise as they get do not deliver pressure 24/7. Lets give the secondary some credit here.

Mitchell has 39 tackles, 2.5 sacks and 3 interceptions. Not bad, but this is his first year starting after being a back up for three years. Let Mike play a full season before we start ranking him among the league's best.

 

Why because Oakland didn't know how to use him.  They rant and rave about Barron and he is what a 2nd yr player.

 

Don't agree, sorry.  His numbers speak a lot.   His numbers says he is among the best.

I imagine that's how that hotel felt when the RoaringRiot came and then left. But I agree, it was clever.

Ha...we did a damn good job but I'm afraid we were no match for South Beach. That din of sin doesn't stop. I hit the wall around 930p on Sunday. It was a damn blast though. Depending on schedule dates I'm shooting for Baltimore and Tampa next year.

I feel that New Orleans would be a blast. I've never been and I've also never been apart of the Riot although I did look into the scheduling of it. I would have burned out by well before 930 pm Sunday.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
