Horton was on the street when we signed him for a reason...

A big part of that was that we geared heavily against the pass this offseason and Horton was primarily a run defender.

Then suddenly we look like crap against the run. We bring Horton back, and against a team with a strong run game we... deactivate him :thinking:

it really is starting to feel like Rivera and company are just floundering right now.

I see what you’re saying but the point I was trying to make is at this point in his career he’s just not that good anymore. He couldn’t make it with the Aints and then no teams came calling for several months until we brought him back. If he still was strong against the run, there’d be a market for him. I love what Horton brought in his years here before, as an UDFA, but I don’t think he has much left.

I can understand that. To be fair though, the list of guys on our defense who don't look very good right now isn't a short one.

The same reason why we started Moton on the left, Williams on the right then switched everything up after one series coming out of the bye. 

Man that was was the most asinine move we’ve made in a long time that one struck a nerve after Daley playing so well weeks prior. But I’m no coach so let me sit back and get ready to enjoy the show.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
