The TPB Cargo Short Boyz have spoken.

NONE of them have a full handle on Popper.

Or we see him for what he is...

Let me just say that I do not anticipate an improvement
in our league worst Special Teams now.

Emory Hunt liked Ja'Sir 's coverage skills as a prospect,
and coverage skills is something to not undervalue.

It's all good friend,
with our divergent opinions,
as we also have the story of Asante,
and these guys just did not work out for us.

I will sleep easy believing JaSir is not a key piece of our DB room, "skills" or not. Everyone in our DB room has coverage skills or they wouldn't be there. He has been consistently inconsistent when actually playing defense.

Not expecting I will notice a change in ST but I'll watch to find out.

I think his knowledge of football is fairly average and is nothing more than a fan who watches the game has. He never played the game (I guess baseball in high school was his highest level of any kind of sports competition) and while I appreciate the access he has that we don't, that is pretty much the extent of what I find him useful for. But some seem to like him so more power to them - we all have different tastes.

true, there are levels of "knows football" - and he is not at the top level. however, it sounds like he can watch film and understands formations. he knows football from a non-player perspective, and better than an average fan, which I think works for him.

former players and coaches are at a different level of "knows football."

Mina will get in your face.

Well, you stated he irritated you upon cursory listening.

I respectfully suggest you budget for a subscription, and access his film study.

BTW Are you self identifying as one of the "TPB Cargo Short Boyz" ? I hope not Sir.

Mina will get in your face.

good point! Mina seems to know her stuff. although, some podcasts have called out her level of knowledge. she seems ok to me.

on a different point, i could think of worse things in life than Mina getting in my face!

I guess this is Popper bashing and surgery details Wednesday.

Popper is establishing and monetizing his brand.

At least Daniel is putting food on the table for himself, his wife and his dog.

What are these TPB chumps doing ?

[wu-dai clan]

You wanted better... more detailed... I gave you Trotter. Popper couldn't hold a candle to him.

Different era.
Different theater of operation.
I personally thought Grantland Rice was better.

Popper did just as we said and kept badgering coach about ST and letting players go until Harbaugh said Just go write your article

[Bolt-O]

Frankly, not seeing value in trying to relate Chargers news to a beat reporter's competence. Let's get back to real Chargers news.

Mina’s knowledge of football is orders of magnitudes more than Poppers is.
