Voth seems to think that he'll be coming back here...

 

 

 

Of course many here probably still remember his comments about Funchess and about how our team can't come back from being down which he talked more about than most would think to, but aside from those very minor comments this really does make perfect sense. Captain has been by far our best nickel corner in the Rivera era and would be huge for Wilks to dial up some more corner blitzes, to have another veteran presence back there, and another playmaker in the secondary. I really like LJ and would absolutely love to bring him back but Captain is definitely an upgrade on him and having both of them would provide excellent depth there, especially since Captain is capable of jumping outside occasionally if needed to spell Daryl or James or if they go out with a minor injury. Thoughts on bringing him back? And maybe we'll bring Major Wright in this time for real and have both a Captain and a Major in our secondary. I'm sure Rivera would love that leadership.

I'd rather he not come back.  He's not an upgrade anymore.  For depth on the cheap? Sure.

Have you watched him play with the Vikings? He's absolutely still an upgrade. One of the best nickel corners in the league right now and fits extremely well in Rivera's scheme where he'll be even better.

Why wouldn't we? Not gonna cost anything. No reason not to have him back for camp at least and go from there.

"They" told me the organization isn't too high on him. I'm with you though - no reason not to have him for depth. He seems like only a Nickel guy though - is it normal to have more than one Nickel on an active roster or outside guys who could play inside in case of emergency?

Interesting. Thanks for chiming in with this. I guess it would depend on ability to play ST (which I don't think LJ has) and if he can move outside temporarily. Captain can do that not sure if LJ can. But if you think about having Captain as our nickel and LJ backing him up there, with Captain's ability to move outside and LJ able to replace him at nickel if that happens I don't think it would be bad to have two nickels like that on the roster. Not sure if RR would do that though. With this though it seems more likely we target a reunion with Captain.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      339. WR Moose Muhammad III, Texas A&M Muhammad, the son of former NFL wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad II, is adept at using his body to keep coverage defenders away from the ball. He generated a 119.8 passer rating when targeted in 2024, ranking 25th in the draft class. 255. WR Kobe Hudson, UCF Hudson brings point guard-like movement to the receiver position and makes for a fun watch due to his short-area quickness. But his limited long speed and questionable catch rate likely make him a mid-round projection. 183. DI Jared Harrison-Hunte, SMU Harrison-Hunte is an intriguing prospect to develop, considering he has the frame to fill out and flashes very good athleticism (4.86-second 40-yard dash, 1.69-second 10-yard split). He needs to improve his pad level, but he uses his athleticism effectively to defeat blocks at the line of scrimmage, posting 44 pressures with eight sacks in 2024. 171. G Luke Kandra, Cincinnati Kandra's athleticism and measured approach to the game give him the floor of a solid zone scheme backup and an average starter's ceiling. The end result will depend on his ability to play with better pad level and flexibility.
