the start leonard pope thread

[schwalbhimself]

this monster needs to start, solid in pass protection n decent in run blocking, way better then bergen, who is slow and dumb

 

[BigJoe]

My only problem with Pope is that he tips the play. By the way he stands, I can tell if the play is a run or pass and if he is supposed to block to the right or left on run plays. Granted, the offense was pretty predictable, but I couldn't have been the only one to pick up on his tells.

That being said, the Cards threw to the TE so little last night, it just as well be Wakefield in there.

He was listed as the starter on the tv broadcast last night...Looks like the team beat you to it.

Good to know you're the expert here.

 

[cdex99]

Instead of just starting him, how about throwing to him!

Oh ok. Thanks for qualifying that. Very helpful.

Bergen gets a bad rap around here, I think. I'm not saying Pope should take a back seat to him, but Bergen isn't as bad as this board makes him out to be.

Then you might want to restate your thread title and the 1st sentence.

I agree he isnt a bad TE at all. He can do alittle of everything.

Pope seems to be a big target in passing but I have seen him make very bad blocks in the running game, which is where we need the most help.

i would like to see pope get some more action in the game. i think wakefield and pope would make a great tandom. i would love to see more of pope in first and goal situation.

 

[schwalbhimself]

bergen sucks end of story

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Don't pin too much on Pope. He has a history of underachieveing...he will let you down!

 

[traveler]

and hes smartest then bergen

and he's smartest then Bergen! ain't never saw anything that stupider.

While we're at it, I think Wilson should be our starting SS.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

While we're at it, I think Wilson should be our starting OLB.

Fixed.

 

[Pariah]

Fixed.

Actually, I think that's a pretty silly idea, personally. I don't knonw why they'd take the guy who is playing at a pro-bowl level at safety and move him.

Now, if he was struggling there and seemed better suited for OLB because of size/speed issues, then okay. But that's not the case.

Weren't we talking about moving him to CB just last year? Equally as silly.
