Posted September 8, 2018 He was one arm tackling and playing like he was trying to avoid injury.the results showed.He's definitely looking like a one year flash in the pan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 8, 2018 Less money we’ll have to pony up i guess. If i was playing for my childhood favorite team id be busting my *** every single second i had. Wish he had more of Ricos mentality or takks. Hes a gentle spirit which is great for the community but bad for the football field. vitaman, Macintez, Ergo Proxy and 11 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 8, 2018 Yeah, I noticed at least one of those one-arm tackles, but it looked like he couldn't get close enough to tackle the guy, and was just trying to slow him down 'til reinforcements came. I hope that's the case, and hope he's not injured and just trying to cover it up! But really, I think as the season progresses he'll start doin' his thang and will be aight.....I hope!

Posted September 8, 2018 Vic is washed, he was trying to arm tackle all night, I'm done with him his one trick doesn't work against decent-good tackles... lostnmexico, Dirtybird3 and MoFalconsFan56 like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 8, 2018 If he keeps playing like this he's going to end up being a victim of "you can't pay everyone" on defense. Neal is gonna be low-balled due to injuries & they let Vic walk after franchise tagging him in 2020 if he's eligible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 8, 2018 Yeah, terrible first game....only 1 or two very good games last year....he really has to get it together now or he will not be in line for a big pay raise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 8, 2018 Vic is kinda light for a DE but he has all the tools. I wish he was more aggressive and played with a little more nastiness to his game. I hate for any of our Dlinemen to get ran over (out ran maybe) by Sproles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 8, 2018 He will be gone when his contract runs out. The thing is if he was a step slower which will come with age he would never get a sack. His moves don’t work. He just hasn’t developed. Him blowing the tackle allowing the first down on one of the smallest players in the league was one of the plays that killed us late in the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to defend Vic, because I'm not, but Peters erases a lot of players much better than Vic. There is a reason Jason Peters will be a hall of famer even in his advanced age. He's really really good.

Posted September 8, 2018 Vic didn't look terrible last night...the Sproles missed tackle hurt, but he's a DE, in space, guarding Sproles in the open field. Even when Rico played Sproles in the flat later in the drive, he gave up like 3 yards just trying to make sure he made the tackle VTCrunkler likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, if he consistently does this against other LTs this year, then yeah, I won't cut the dude any slack. He had his share of poor plays Thursday (the Sproles one in particular), but he better show out against the lesser LTs because he won't be playing Peters-level LTs the rest of the year.

Posted September 8, 2018 OP started this same thread on Thursday during the game. Seems like he just needs some attention. Funny thing is, he never posts when the team actually does well. Go figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 8, 2018 Peters and Sproles are among the best at what they do, ever. They make everyone look pretty foolish. Of course in Peters case he gets a one to two step jump before every snap which doesn't hurt. ki46dinah, Halcon-1, Ergo Proxy and 3 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish someone had leveled Foles on that play. QBs that run those kind of plays need to be crushed.
