Just curious if we are still on the he is a bust and should be a nickel only guy? He's a rare athlete... one of the fastest guys in the league. That pays dividends when he does pick a pass off. He's had one in back to back weeks and when he does the field position switches drastically... stock is trending up...

He’s really inconsistent and injury prone. 

This. I still don't know what to make of him ultimately. I'm not so sure that his skill set wouldn't be best served as a roaming deep FS where his best traits (speed, range, and ball skills) would be best served while limiting his biggest weakness (aversion to contact).

he is a track star who cannot body up on people but has a knack for big plays

that's what he is

like people are bitching at him about the tampa game but what the hell was he supposed to do against Mike Evans? Next time you're playing basketball at the Y, go defend the guy that has six inches and 75 pounds on you in the post. See how that goes.

Seems to me he doesn't hate contact when he sees the wr catch the ball in front of him and he flies up to hit them in the back and then flex like he made the play of the year lol.

This... your putting him in a position to loose. I know he's probably the best corner we have but asking him to play against that monster with his skillet just isn't good for the team. Yes he's faster than him but Evans doesn't win with speed so it doesn't matter.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
