ok how bad must you suck for your nickel back to have 1 less tackle than your starting corner? and not to mention the dropped int?

You don't want your starting corner to have many tackles. If your starting corner is your team's leading tacker, he sucks. Conversely, Asomugha, the league's best CB only had 1 pick and 33 solo tackles in his Pro Bowl season. His stats are low because his man is always covered.

And your nickle back is more active in run support, so you want him to have more tackles.

But if you want to live your life by the stat book, that's cool too

haha well .. all of his tackles that ive seen have been downfield .. however he did assist in one run stop by driving someone out of bounds .. the only time ive seen him beat in coverage is by roy williams who he immediately slung to the ground on his face , still though ? what are we paying gamble for? he gets 1 or 2 takeaways a season .. and if hes beat he wont tackle because godfrey runs him over

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
