Desmond Bishop/AJ Hawk vs Nick Barnett/Brandon Chillar

the old unnamed scout but I agree.

“Bishop played better in their final 12 games than [Barnett] has at any stretch over the past 3-4 years,” an NFC scout said during the playoffs. “Barnett is still a good player in this league, but this defense was better suited with Bishop in there.”

not the most reputable thing going but... hey, I'm tired of talking about beards and hair length.

can you link to where Patty said that?

You mean the first one where Bishop's not in the shot anywhere?

Or the second where he maxes out at 5 yards from where he started, about 7 from the LoS?

Or the third where it's an endgame prevent drop where he maxes out at a whole 10 years from the LoS, 5 from where he started?

Barnett and Chillar not only drop short but drop to the deep third even. That's why they have versatility. Bishop and Hawk don't have that kind of speed. Obviously they're a little bigger, which is why Hawk was ahead of Chillar in the base.

Hersey, it's superbowl week and I'm going to attempt to be really really nice here. Do you really need or want another beatdown on this? really? Just do yourself a really really big favor and walk away from this one. You were wrong on your comments. It's ok little buttercup, it happens from time to time.

Bishop and Hawk simply lack Barnett and Chillar's speed and versatility.

Bishop and Hawk are both a little more stout, but limited in what can be done with them in coverage, especially Bishop.

How are you having a hard time grasping this?

I do find it interesting that the defense has played very well, in some areas better, since it was "simplified". Collins' role has changed quite a bit since Hawk and Bishop have been the starting ILBs.

oh for ****s sakes jackass, just can't let it go can yeah?

No *******, you're not going to sit here and play the switch your words with what you original said game(s) with me,period end of story.

This isn't that hard, yet you fail to grasp that Barnett and Chillar are faster and more versatile, which is pretty basic stuff. That's why they were the nickel linebackers chosen by the coaching staff and Barnett was chosen to start over Bishop even coming off an injury.

Having all four available is the best-case scenario and if Hawk re-structures it's likely. And that's a good thing.

Let's try this again. When a post of yours is edited, you respond by saying nothing. You can now rebuild your precious post, but if you edit a mod again you're finished.

Hawk runs the defense better, who gives a crap about the so called speed? Bishop and Hawk work well together.

For whatever reason(s), what they are doing now is working. That's all that matters.

Bishop has to have to speed. He saved the ballgame tackling one of the fastest men in the NFL in Philly.
