East champs!!! You like that???!!!

I think the starters who are healthy should at least go out and play a half of football. Let them get some real time reps to keep them fresh but there's no reason they need to play all four quarters especially if the game turns into one of your typical NFC East rivalry games where things tend to get chippy.

Even with the playoffs locked up in week 16 I still have to stress out about week 17. Lol.

^ Yup.

Robinson missed a ton of tackles early in the season, pretty sure that's a big reason why he's on the bench.

I get that he missed some tackels early and all...I read some of those articles. But he didn't miss those same tackles last year (or the year before if I recall correctly).

So...did he miss those tackles because he was trying to gut it out?

None of the coaches are talking about that, yet he's playing with some type of "bionic" brace on now-a-days.

He was horrible early on.

Keenan didn't look like himself since early in the season.
He looked to me like a guy trying to play through an injury, he wasn't making routine plays the Keenan from last year made.

I also wondered if the scheme change to 1-gap, was effecting him because he was taking on more blocks?
But I didn't get all-22 this year...

But Compton is playing well, looks like a better athlete that many thought

At one time he was projected to be London Fletcher's long term replacement.....that doesn't appear to be the case anymore.

Maybe. I think he is the worst athlete in the ILB corps but makes up for a ton with instinct, smarts and anticipation.

He is willing, he just lacks the physical tools to be awesome. That being said, I agree, he is a pleasant surprise.

Agree about his smarts. But i think he's one of the better athletes of our ILBs group....he's just small though. I liked him coming out b/c of his speed and agility.

Compton is a stud, he's way better than he appeared to be at first

I wonder how guys like Compton go undrafted. He's certainly developed into a solid and dependable inside linebacker.....

Measurables and speed aren't there. But he can read a formation, understands the defense, and communicates well. It's like Fletcher. You don't appreciate how good they can be until you see them in the pros.

Right. I believe Compton was an All American at Nebraska...but the game is slower on the collegiate level.

[Schneed10]

PS not saying he's as good as Fletcher. But same kind of brainy player.

well for NY, they can easily get the best coaching candidates out there, since, you know, eli manning and OBJ are already in place. that's like 14 plusses right there. I hope they pick someone awful though, like norv.
