BearSox Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Another thing going unnoticed about Manning is that this year he has developed nicely into a very solid nickel back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimal99 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Another thing going unnoticed about Manning is that this year he has developed nicely into a very solid nickel back. I believe Manning has had a difficult time comprehending how complicated the BEARS defense is compared to the one he played in college. Appears to me after a couple of years he now understands what's going on. From all reports he's not the brightest guy on the BEARS. I'm glad he's finally making progress on D and has also been a better kick returner this yr than Hester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Beat me to it, BearSox. Since Manning has been getting some playing time, he's been very good in the nickel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GakMan23 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I would agree that I have seen an improvement in his defensive play especially after he started getting confidence due to his success in the kick return game.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 He's also sticking to playing one position where as the team had been moving him all over the place in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
