The next Kwiatkowski

I haven’t seen any Jesus Christ it’s Jack Sanborn memes in awhile

Better than Edmunds

[–] hippohopper78@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably the dude i was most wrong about on this team. Hear his name much more than Edmunds… he just makes plays.

[–] TumTumMac24@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Literally was coming here to say something similar to this, lol should have known YOU would beat me to it my man.

Earlier this year when asked about players who disappointed he was one of my players. At that point in the season the defense was really struggling and he wasn’t playing well, then the interception in garbage time happened and boom. The Legend Jack Sanborn returned.

I’m happy when I’m wrong about players.

I think that goes to say, that the nfl is so different mid season. So many teams switch and players who have started cold, get into a rhythm and shine.

The real underdog story

[–] BoredGuy2007@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's going to suck that we have to let this guy walk because we overpaid some other LBs lmao

[–] Leg-oh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Rex is our quarterback.

[–] -Pruples-@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Was kind of insulting that Poles paid big money for his replacement when he's been better in literally every way.

#firepoles

[–] IMKudaimi123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We’ve run so much nickel it’s dumb we paid edmunds.

Whole point of the Roquan trade was we wouldn’t pay an ILB as a rebuilding team. Then we paid a worse player almost just as much. While Sanborn and Edwards have been better for less than half the price.

It doesn’t kill us cuz we have a lot of cap space but imagine if that money went to another weapon on offense or a C or a DL. But unless the ILB is a superstar he won’t elevate the defense enough to justify that price.

[–] Oniwaban9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In light of Roquan's recent comments, it might have been that he never wanted to come back in the first place. So Poles did the best he could if that was indeed the situation. Or Poles is an idiot, that's entirely possible too.

[–] ChiBearBullCub@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're right. Roquans recent comments about the bears makes it blatantly obvious he wasnt coming back here. Not to mention he literally had his friend doing contract talks with us and not a real agent. He is unprofessional and good riddance to him.

[–] Awalawal@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The "Good Will Hunting sends Affleck to the job interview instead" tactic. An oldy but a goody.

[–] TheGhosticus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My favorite part of the last few seasons was the Sanborn Season meme becoming a reality.

[–] Joliet_Jake_Blues@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He might be the best MLB on the roster

Foreman might be the best HB on the team

We need to scout our guys better

[–] Toomuchlychee_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I still like Herbert on carries but it’s clear that Foreman is better at catching and Johnson is better at pass blocking. We really do need all 3

[–] ADogNamedWhiskey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, and Johnson’s vision needs work. He’s faster and more explosive than all the RBs ahead of him on the roster (Herbert, Foreman) but he’s still playing college ball: doesn’t see a cutback, doesn’t mitigate contact in the hole, doesn’t run his routes crisply. All correctable with reps, hopefully.

[–] the-cream-police@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sandborn is playing at least as well as Edmunds, if not better. Just another dig at this coaching staff, how come they still don’t believe in this kid!

[–] Magazine-Soggy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jack Sanborn is a straight up DAWG! I’m annoyed he doesn’t get talked about enough in the league. I always looked at the Edmunds as well as the Edwards signings as more of a veteran/leadership thing, and hopefully to help continue to develop The Jackhammer.

[–] Dink5656@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The MLB decisions Poles has made are just terrible. Edmunds is terrible and the only noticeable thing about him is his ability to have absolutely zero impact. Sanborn makes plays ALL game long. We could have our MLB tied up for dirt cheap UDFA money but spent $72 million on an overrated guy because he’s…lanky (at best)

[–] Big-Eye-1007@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If he had caught that interception at the end of the game I would have been so happy

[–] Gryffindorq@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

grown in a lab, fed rhino necks and liquid rabies. he is The Sanborn Identity

[–] onemanwolfpack21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jack Sanborn offered to go and sort out the war in Ukraine, but the government was afraid that using a weapon of mass destruction would trigger a nuclear holocaust

[–] Coley54Bear@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Does anyone happen to have a clip of his almost interception?

[–] Slizzerd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Man needs to be on the jugs machine for a few hours today, but outside of that, great game played.

[–] iplaywithdolls23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This local DAWGGGGGGGGGGG

I would be happy for him to take my wife out for tea and a ballroom dance while I am out of town. Just look at him, a dawg of a good guy

[–] AdAdditional5453@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sanborn gives it his all every play. He truly doesn't stop until that whistle is blown.

[–] Slowsnale@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

drip....drop..haha but yeah he's a good team player to have on your squad

[–] FickleFred@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Man Poles would get a lot less shit for trading Roquan if he had just signed TJ Edwards and rolled with Sanborn instead of signing Edmunds. It's another knock on him that he really could have avoided.

[–] Subpars0up@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Self inflicted wounds has been the calling card of Poles tenure so far

[–] G_Unit_Solider@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s quick sharp and makes tackles. For Pennie’s compared to Tremaine.
