[THOUGHTS] Aaron Rouse · PACKERSHOME

After watching him play and then re-watching the game last night. The guy worries me. I love his reckless abandon that he plays with, but man, he's gonna get hurt.

The guy just throws his body around like its made out of rubber. There were a few hits that I didn't think the guy he hit would get up, and also worried that he wouldn't get up either.

I'd also like it if he and the rest of our secondary would wrap up when they hit instead of just lowering a shoulder.

Rouse can rest his body after Bigby comes back because he'll be sitting on the bench :icon_smile:

As for Rouse hitting to hard, isn't that what he's suppose to do as the SS?

I also wish the DB would wrap up more and strip the ball...

I never said he shouldn't hit hard. I'm just saying he could be a little wiser about his angles. 🙂

Thoughts?

He's a hell of a football player.

He's a hitter, let him hit.

Who is telling him NOT to hit?

Jesus christ people... I never said for him to freaking talk people to a knee instead of him hitting them.

I jus say that he hes very reckless when he tries to blow people up. Its fun to watch, I just worry that he's going to hurt himself and be on the bench nursing an injury.

To be honest...no. I was always told to wrap up, put your helmet on the ball, and hit them as hard as you can. Then again I was a DT which I think might make a difference, because the DL doesn't usually pick how hard your hit'em you just hit'em and get them down.

I never said he shouldn't hit hard. I'm just saying he could be a little wiser about his angles. :)

I've been complaining about Rouse angles. Rouse problems seem to be mental mistakes and not physical problems. He needs to take better angles and wrap up and he would be a lot better.

But where is the line between hitting to hard and not hitting hard enough?

He does need to wrap up, he's not like Bigby where all of his blow up go to the ground.

All I am saying is the dude needs to be wiser when he hits people. I never said to hit less, hit softer or any of that garbage.

Hit the shit out of people has ALWAYS been my motto. Football is a game amongst men! Not kids. You hit as hard as you can.

What I am saying that ya'all seem to miss even tho I've said it more than once is to hit smarter. Use better angles and wrap up when you hit!

I don't know about him. He seems like a ballhawk, but at times he seems way out of position giving away huge plays (Lions game). He's still young, but he could definitely develop into a legit starter.

Yeah he does great things but he isn't Collins, not yet anyways. He doesn't start if Bigby is out and the reasons you stated are why. They are mistakes that your starters do not make as much if at all.
