people say it is because he is smart and has a high football iq, but that doesn't do anything when running backs are are out running you and shanle can't make the tackle or getting sucked into blocks and not being able to get off of them, always losing men in coverage etc.

He's the old brokedown Fred Thomas of linebackers (although Thomas was actually good for a few years before he got old and hurt) He's not that good, but they won't bring quality OLBers in to replace him. They bring in rookies or borderline starters who don't work out. Not his fault.


But yeah, the memes are funny. I

I think Shanle actually gets off blocks fairly well and is a decent run defender, which is why he still plays.

He just can't cover anyone. As long as he isn't on the field on third and long, then I don't have a problem with him.
