? I said he was a good player. Solomon Thomas is also a good player. Every team needs guys like that.

You said he had unwarranted webzone hype and was way overhyped . Then you snuck in a little comment of him being good lmao

He has been going full #BeastMode the last few games, really blowing up.

Chicago Bears rookie LB Roquan Smith leads the Bears defense in tackles (48). Roquan is also second on the team in sacks (3).

Dude plays at a different speed. I can't wait to watch when the game slows down for him.

Blitzing was one of Roquan's best attributes. Glad to see Lord Fangio maximizing that ability.

Yeah after missing the preseason you expected that it would take him some time to get used to the speed of the game, seems to be happening now. Outside of Mack he's been their top defensive player the last few weeks.

What a beast. Roquan is already arguably the best blitzing LB in the league. Dude has more sacks than anyone on our team not named Buckner.

Fangio like a little kid in a candyshop with everything at his disposal.

He's been good but not close to the second best defensive player behind Mack. Akiem Hicks is a monster and just wrecks the opposing OL and anything on the opposite side of the ball. He's dominate even when Mack isn't on the field. Roquan Smith has benefited greatly playing behind that kind of dominance from a defensive front.

So did Willis and Bowman, doesn't mean they weren't great players in their own right. Roquan is playing like his hair is on fire right now.

True that, it's like we have to hate on picks if they either don't produce right away or if you didn't love them in the first place.

Roquan is a quality football player, there shouldn't be any jealousy though, McGlinchey is a stud and Warner is nearly as good. It's a rare win win that Roquan ended up elsewhere.

i really wanted that Smith/Foster combo. But not only was it taken out of our hands, I think we did okay in our own right.
