Bears4Ever_34 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Or rather move him to his actual position at LB instead of pretending he's a DE. Oops.. The Bears don't run a 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 1. Time to make a trade for a DT 2. PLEASE PLEASE....cut Shae McClellin Agreed on the first part. At this point I could care less if the due can penetrate. I just want a stuffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we dont get some more DTs they are all going to look like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Shea's arms are too short to be an effective DE and while he's quick, he does not have the elite quickness he needs to overcome the tackles who consistently get into his body. Short arms keep him from getting off blocks to make tackles. Yes, I'd trade him for a good DT right now as that would get Wootton back at DE and I think Bass has shown enough to replace Shea.

selection7 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 HA! right into the ground Actually, he pressured Eli for what could have ended up a safety after a beautiful spin move got him past the first guy then knifed past a double-team. It was his best play of the night that I saw. Otherwise, my impression of his play in general is that the lineman he faces have to worry zero about being bull rushed, so they just ride him out whichever way he goes. Eventually Shea realizes he's too far in one direction and cuts back the other direction, either immediately stopping to hold his lane and maybe swat a ball (presumably, unless that's just him giving up) or the lineman just rides him out the other direction. If Shea just had the strength to lean into his blockers as he turns a corner to keep from going so wide, that would be enough, even without the threat of a bullrush. Also, one time I saw Brandon Jacobs run right by him it didn't have anything to do with Shea's arm length. Shea was so busy 'wrastling' with the OL, he didn't even know the runningback was there until it was too late. Also, Shea's rush style means he's not much good for pinning either the RB or QB in the pocket. Sometimes the guy with the ball squeaks free in the area Shea vacated. I would've liked to have seen him put on 20 pounds of muscle in his rookie year, and I don't think that happened. That's asking a lot, but he's getting paid 1st round pick money.
