Breaking down Cockrell as a Zone CB

 I realise that you give Adams some credit in your post, but not enough i think. Watch the Minnesota game again. Adams made a critical tip to save a sure TD and force a FG. In the Atlanta game he made an epic flying tackle on Julio Jones that left him on the floor for a few seconds and forced an incomplete pass. My favourite tackle of the season. He was as good as anyone in the secondary but that narrative doesn't fit the huddle narrative. He was making plays as well as gìving them up.

I could be over looking his outstanding contributions I'll def go back and watch either way if that's the case I'll be happy having Searcy play over Colin Jones in certain situations injury or sub packages we have to have solid backups that can contribute and not drop our level of play significantly.

Adams was surprisingly good last year and was our most dependable secondary player. Having said that our secondary was poo. Safety should be highest priority unless a stud playmaker falls to us in draft. Maybe we are in talks with Eric Reid but I doubt it due to the source that never gets anything right and farms pie.

    • Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!    
    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
