Daryl Worley: ‘I Was Very Unimpressed With the Way I Played’

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm not ready to panic or give up on the guy, but I hope we aren't so dedicated to a youth movement at CB that we force him out there before he's ready. You don't want to shatter a young guy's confidence by getting him lit up when he's not ready to be out there. Confidence is a huge factor for a CB.

That right there is a perfect example of what I stated in another thread. The ball placement was just about perfect and the WR made a play. It's hard for any veteran CB to stop that, much less a rookie playing in his second preseason game. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the opponent.

Sharpe was unbelievable. I'm glad the Panthers played the Titans because I was able to see him up close and now I can hopefully get Sharpe in all my leagues and start him in DraftKings. Wouldn't have pulled the trigger based on internet articles. The guy looks like a young Andre Johnson. Glad we don't play the Titans for another 3 years.

 

As for Worley, the defense this season was always going to be gambling on turnovers more than trying to play lockdown defense, you pretty much have to starting two rookie corners. It will be similar to last year, where we look like we can't stop anyone for stretches. We just have to play great offense again and hope the turnovers come.

This is exactly why I said we should pick up a veteran corner. You can't expect these guys to play well out of the gate. You also don't have to suffer through a bunch of rookie mistakes while they learn. The vet can start and these guys can grow and mature as they gain more familiarity with our scheme. Part of the reason he wasn't aggressive is that he isn't experienced enough in what we do to know where to be without thinking about it. That comes with time and tons of film work. If we were cap strapped or rebuilding it would make sense to start rookies but we aren't either. They are doing as well as they can. But not well enough to start for a team expecting to return to the Superbowl.

It's hard to contest passes when you're giving the wr 10 yards of cushion pre snap. Let him play close and se what he can do, it's the damn pre season

I'm not pushing the panic button yet.

Literally zero game planning went into this game. No, Worley didn't play well. But you would be amazed how much a full week of game planning and film review can improve things.

I think Worley did okay. He made tackles and didn't give up any touchdowns or yards after the catch. Tajae Sharpe was catching some high passes that were basically undefendable. I also noticed our corners were playing about ten yards back which  give up short passes.

 

look for this game to be a learning opportunity.

I can remember in 2012 Josh Norman was getting some PT as a young guy. He gave up so much cushion Brandon Marshall caught one pass after another on a game winning drive for the bears. Just watching it you were a little dumbfounded on how he thought that would work. But eventually he figured things out and became the player he is today.

 I have a feeling the top 3 corners may end up being Bradberry, Bene, and Sanchez, but we'll see.

Not a bad line up if Worley isn't ready. Having Bene able to play well in either role allows us the luxury of not having to force Worley out there IF he needs a little more time. I still think that ultimately, Worley will take the second outside spot.
