[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.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (15h) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (17h) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (17h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (18h) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (18h) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
