I know Shemar is not known to be twitchy, but I just don't see how you cannot see an athletic freak when watching him.

Hubbard was slow as molasses last year, did you notice this?

All Shemar has to do is help against the run and be disruptive and not a complete weakness to be better than Sam last year IMO.


In his prime yeah. I still remember when Carl was here and healthy when he could get so low around the edge his shoulder pad would nearly
touch the ground coming off the edge and he could still keep his balance. Was pretty special with his bend, but he just got hurt all the damn 
time and also couldn't get the sacks.

The question about Shemar for me, is he simply what we in rugby called a Thursday all star?

The is the guy who gives maximal effort when everyone else is pacing at 80%, resulting in the Thursday all star looking like a stud starter, but come game time Saturday, dude falls back down to Earth.

I admit the bar is not high for him to be better than Hubbard last season, as Sam was hurt, but I am cautiously optimistic.

Plus I think Golden's defense will have some wrinkles to take advantage of his athleticism.
