For all those bagging on Carp

Re-watch the Urban punt return.

Bobby is the outside rush guy on the line, he rushes upfield about five yards before going downfield to block. He runs about 50 yards and throws the block that springs Urban...he knocks his guy into the two guys that miss the tackle.

Not bad for a bust.

if only all our first rounders could block well on special teams...

He's had a hand in 2 TDs this preseason...some just choose not to see that.

Look, I want the guy to do well, but other than that play, he look uninterested, tired and lazy to me the entire game. Maybe he is hurt, I don't know....

Throw Spears in there as well, played the whole game and didn't do a thing. Really hope he finds himself quickly.

Stanback showed some speed, but clearly messed up some routes and has a long way to go....

I like Hatcher's quickness. Moore should be a good QB project (practice squad). Butler probably PS as well. Same with Akin's brother.

Now THERE'S a surprise.

I agree. I just got to watch the game last night, and Stanback's speed and quickness on his first return really impressed me. His running style reminded me of Vick.

You can coach routes, you can't coach speed.

I'd rather see him having a bigger role in stopping TDs: basic expectation for a 1st round defensive player.....that said, I haven't given up on him.....yet

6 on one half a dozen on the other... literally....

If he helps get a TD on ST then its an EXTRA TD anyways...

I haven't rewatched the game and checked exactly how he played, but I do know that on one early play he knocked down a pass. On another he beat his guy and got into the backfield but missed the runner. I would agree that it didn't appear he played as well as I liked, but in this game he was probably just trying to get through it uninjured since he and Hatcher were the only LEs at the game.

Well, the Bears spent a high pick on Hester, so maybe high draft picks on Special Teams Aces will become the new trend in the NFL (sarcasm off)!
