FB Lousaka Polite, Miami.
Not many teams use a pure fullback much anymore, and no team has as physical a blocker as Polite.

I remember him being a very mediocre blocker, but being pretty quick for a FB. Maybe he's improved that part of his game?

From what I remember of Polite his problem was that sometimes he missed the guy- but when he got him it was all over. Inconsistent.
Spencer worried me because if a guy is going to get sacks 90% of the time you see it early and we did not. A year goes by and you still don't see them its pretty much over. Glad he was the exception.
With Ware and Spencer coming from the sides and the Rat up the middle we have as good a pass rush as any in the NFL. And without blitzing.

Not picking you out my friend. Many on this forum are quick to dump on promising players. I wish the knee jerk reactions would slow down a little. To you and the others that admitted a error in judgement regarding Spencer and Jenkins, good for you. It takes a big person to admit their mistakes. God knows I have had a few myself.
It has been a fun year watching this team grow and develop.

Major respect for the work that Spencer has put in. Peter kings not the only someone who's noticed him either. Ask a few of our last opponents if he's a player. Glad to see him living up to the 1st round promise.

Wow. I was wrong about Spencer, he may be the best pass rusher on the team going into the playoffs. I did not think he was a bust, just not a playmaker, I was completely wrong.
But to rank him ahead of Dumervil and Lamar Woodley? And no Rat???? Wilfork and that Titan are NOT better than Ratliff.

A blitz is actually sending more than five since the offense has five offensive linemen. But a misconception from fans (and media/commentators started calling it a blitz whenever a team sends a LB or Safety.Cover 2;3197516 said:

There was a thread this weekend about QB sacks, pressures and hits. It turns out Spencer leads the league in QB hits by a healthy margin. Ware led in pressures by a healthy margin. When you added it all up, we basically had the two best OLB pass rushers in the league if I recall correctly.
