[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

It isn't. Nor is it the FB.
Defence should get to the man sooner. |

That was one of the things he said, yes. He would also go on about thinkgs akin to>
[iMr Rea.......fans will not flock to watch a team that "will have their moments".
For too long, failure has been accepted at the club...it has got to the extent where it has almost become expected[/i

Why look at stats over 4 games and not at his figures over about 30 games (which aren't fantastic either)?
I think he's a good scrambling defender because of his speed but there's plenty of room for development in terms of how he reads unfolding play.

Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg |

He's a marked man now though...the oppo are putting him under a lot of pressure and I guess he's feeling it a bit.
Second seasons either go one way or the other...let's hope he continues to develop in a positive manor or he will end up like poor old Will Sharp (the best player England never had!...according to Brian Mac).

| Witt is one of the better tacklers, percentage wise (made 45, missed 5)...lots of worse offenders., mainly amongst the yoof.
Our best tackler is Fusi...81 made, only 1 missed!
Oh, Dorny's stats : made 30, missed 6.
All in all, defence is not our strong point.  |

FWIW I couldn't be bothered looking last years up. I just offered up the 2013 data and made no comment on it. |

Listy's correct. Having watched small segments of games on SLTV, I notice that people rightly point out our defensive woes, but never seem to mention him as he's a bit of a gun player in attack.

When making comparisons, we need to remember that defending in the middle unit is "easiest" (95% or better is good going) and that wingers and FBs have the poorest stats because they are making (often 1 on 1) tackles when the defence has already failed earlier in the play - 75% in these spots is impressive.
But I note that no team has missed more tackles than the Broncos this year and several individuals have terrible looking defensive stats after 4 games - though someone's record over 4 games can be misleading.
