Title: Ellerbe/Wheeler
Post by: Landshark on September 16, 2013, 08:06:38 am
Not only did Wheeler nail Andrew Luck to ice the game, but these guys combined for 26 tackles.  Do you think Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett would've put up such numbers?  These two free agent acquisitions are looking very good right about now.

yeah Wheeler is playing better then I could ever imagine. Those guys are flying all over the place.  Our whole lb crew is playing lights out.  I forgot his name but Misi's replacement when he got injured came through and made a huge pass defense on a perfectly thrown ball and plucked it out at the last second.

Let's give Jeff Ireland credit for bringing these guys in.  I have been very impressed here.  I liked Ellerbe when he was in Baltimore, but never heard of Wheeler before he came here.  Obviously both were excellent choices.

Ireland's free agent class o this past year certainly has not disappointed.

Ireland's free agent class o this past year certainly has not disappointed.

Free Agent class has been a home run, but we are getting little to nothing from the draft class through 2 weeks (mainly do to injuries though).

Dion Jordan--Injured/limited playing time so far...has looked great when out there though
Taylor-Hasn't played a game yet
Davis-Hasn't played a game yet
Thomas-Hasn't played a game yet
Simms-Back-up TE, only about 20 or so snaps per game through 2 games

With the way Carroll and Patterson are playing it will be a struggle for Taylor and Davis to get playing time. Hopefully the 2 CB's can get healthy soon though.
