Tillman is a BIG DB.

Got me curious so I looked it up...

Tillman is listed at 6'2 (so is Johnson).

Most corners in the NFL are 5'10 to 5'11.

I like how Dave has increased the size of this team at almost every position.

I guess I figured he would be shorter considering the nickname "Peanut."

​Actually, his nickname came from his aunt who said he looked like a peanut as a baby.  It stuck with him his entire life as he's always been known as Peanut.  Cajun fans (what few we had back in the dark days of Jerry Baldwin) always called him peanut, but believe me, in college, he was just as much of a freaking boss as he is now.

I wonder what he could do at safety, a lot of good corners move to S towards the end of their careers and I know CT isn't afraid to put some hits on dudes. He is usually one of the league leaders in forced fumbles.​

And I hope he teaches the "peanut punch" to not only every member of the secondary, but to the whole damn defense.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
