You can't modify other users posts lol. Is this another one of your 'my report button is missing' accusations?
Or typing in huge all caps font because otherwise he can't see it?

For a bad team, Sanborn has been more than serviceable.

There have been plays, especially against the Falcons, Jets, and Cowboys where it’s him vs the ball carrier and the ball carrier made him miss, think it was the jets back up running back on a 30 yard TD run made him look absolutely stupid. So I understand the questions about it because from a value standpoint, he’s a tackling machine. Talent wise? He’s entirely unremarkable.

But Quan had also missed tackles like that earlier this year, yet no questioning there. I’m rooting for him. I want to see more quickness and more 1 on 1 wins.

I can modify other users posts easily . This this another way that people harass others . I also know that there are people on this board that removed the REPORT button from The Hawk. It is because there are idiots like me who like to **** around with smarter people than I am which is pretty much everyone.

Gee, Hawkeye. Its a credit to you that you admit to screwing around with other posters on this board. Aren't you afraid of getting disciplined for screwing people liek this?

I really can't believe how many times and places that I have read about how the media says that Sanborn still has to prove himself as a starter. If he was drafted there wouldn't be any of this talk. All the guy does is continue to make plays. We saw this in the pre-season as well. The good news is maybe Poles has learned his lesson that you need to look at football players not just their RAS scores. Every game the guy is all over the field making plays which is something that I can't say about Morrow who never seems to be around the ball.
Not sure why this bothers you so much. If it bothers him, I can see that. but why you? lolol

Yeah, but can he do it next season when theres talent around him?!?!
Why couldn't he? Why would getting him help make him shittier? Even if he becomes a certain down guy he has talent to play.

There’s another UDFA Wisconsin LB coming to town this week. He was a great Badger but lacked the measurables the NFL covets.

He’s thriving on a great defense and team.

Sanborn plays at football speed because he can read and dissect what he sees. Judge how he’s diagnosing plays and where he’s making those plays. Is he getting beat in coverage? Is he making tackles from behind because he was beaten or is he reading, filling and finishing?

My guess is the Bear brain trust is smiling after reviewing film each week.

So, I watch the film. A lot, and I mean a LOT of Sandborn's tackles are ankle tackles because he is significantly SLOWER than the people he is playing against.

I'm happy for Jack - he's good enough to stay in the NFL. But only as a quality backup and special teams ace if your team is a playoff contender.

He's Brendon Ayanbadejo. To think he's anything more is silly, because at some point, he's going to start missing some of those ankle tackles.


I'd keep him long term for that role, but there's a reason he wasn't drafted....
