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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
