Perhaps he does have the speed but having this Harbor lad hanging off his bollocks is slowing him down?

That is a legal block. You can't block below the waist when outside the tackle box or when the defender is engaged. This blocker is inside the tackle box.
If you recall, James Daniel got called for a block below the waist last year on TJ Watt and Bears fans went nuts because they felt the blocker was still in the tackle box and it negated a TD. The only difference in those two players was in this one the guy unfortunately got injured.

A truly horrible call on a night full of 'em.

Jesper is doing what Jesper does…. Show up during preseason.
Once the big boys play…. (In this case Waller)… he’ll be relegated to a backup role if he even makes the team. He’s listed at #5 on the Raiders depth chart at the moment.

It was dirty man. If that's technically legal then they need to change the rules. He didn't dive for the front of his legs, he dove straight for the side of the knee. We're not going to agree and that's okay, but I'd be very surprised if you'd got a lot of players, current or past, who'd be okay with that happening to them (or a teammate).That is a legal block.

Brian Daboll himself said it wasn't dirty.

Not arguing your personal opinion on the matter. Just telling you it is legal. Dude's own coach said so and they teach their players to do it.

The other aspect that only time will tell on is if the Bears doctors were concerned about longer term issues - so, is it weakened such that it will be easier to re-injure?

Kreutz took a few too many blows to the head.
And Greg is hitting the sauce early for a Monday.

think he's simply saying mustipher is not as bad as fans have made him out to be...i'm not a fan of mustipher myself but he is a solid backup, i dont want him to start but bears could do a lot worse than him.

Yeah Musty as an IOL backup at a couple million is perfectly fine IMO. Issue is he is not a long term starter IMO.

There's no way that you can tell me a TE, like Horsted, wouldn't flourish in this scheme.

I think fans are going to be very surprised at a few of the moves Poles makes. I’m guessing he has very different takes on some players than we do.

Hope you are right, because I have not seen anything on this injury yet.
