Ernie Sims, Philadelphia Eagle

[Sgt PSN]

To be fair, they've been close to trading for Urlacher almost every year for the last decade. 

[Diomedes]

fined 50k

[Seabiscuit36]

did they forget about the hit until a week later?

[Diomedes]

Apparently they did until Charley Casserly pointed the hit out on teevee.

[Sgt PSN]

It's unclear why the fine wasn't imposed in the days after the game was played; a cynic might say that imposing the fine would have undermined the predetermined narrative that beefed-up enforcement coming out of Week Six resulted in no illegal hits in Week Seven.

The hit must have happened in week 8 because if they don't fine him until week 9, then the illegal hit couldn't have happened in week 7, right?

Pretty sure that was the play when he hit the guy going out of bounds...wound up taking part of Asante out with him.

[mussa]

farg that the refs should get fined for not catching it

[PhillyGirl]

That was Johnson that he hit on that play, and no it wasn't what he was fined for.

Correct it wasn't the play involving Johnson. Lavelle Hawkins?

hop on mcdermotts back for a piggy ride out of the nova care complex. thanks.

[Seabiscuit36]

He farging sucks.  I waited to see him step up all year, and when Moses Fokou outshines you, you farging suck. 

[rjs246]

He takes awful angles and can't form tackle, square up or break down an opposing player to save his life. Painful.

[Seabiscuit36]

the awful angles doesnt even describe how bad he is.  He takes the short angle every time, and has no concept of his lack of speed, or that he runs with wooden legs

[ice grillin you]

sims plays too fast if anything...he overruns shtein constantly and is always trying to wack someone instead of just making a tackle

he was AWFUL yesetrday

red flags shoulda went up when detroit didnt want him

[mussa]

another "serious" attempt at addressing the LB position. more smoke up my ass, thanks!
