I mean we don't play a lot of press man coverage.... and it gets harder and harder to play a lot of man coverage in the NFL.   That is a legit discussion. 

even if you got the DBs to play man....the athletic QBs situationally make it a poor call pretty often. 

 

you can still press in zones and tangle up the receiver before you release him to the next level. ideally horn is a guy who takes away some of those quick hitter options and forces the QB to look for another man.

this could be game changing on passing downs.

No doubt.  Disrupting WRs off the line is something we haven’t done well enough....and is one of those big little things.   Horn is great when you let him do what he does.  

I just think the outrage to that post is more the grading than the commentary on Horn though.

What a fuging idiot.😂

Does he know many coaches play schemes based off the personnel they have available, which can change from year to year?

My God, what an idiot.  Wow.  Just wow.

I just hope we can coach him up enough to play soft, bend-don't-break football, lol.

It's PFF. If it isn't naked stats they are more likely to be wrong then anything else. Their opinions are so touted now but largely crap. 

Also, for a site that gives fake grades they give an average for a grade? Just lol

Yep. I used them a lot when I played FFB years back just because they had the best data. 

I liked that all they did was stats. Interpretation of those stats has been a massive fail.

Norman was not a complete CB. Corner has been an issue since Gamble was here.

Norman had a fantastic and dominant season.   But it was largely an anomaly.   But it was really fun to watch.   Those first years were pretty dang rough.  And he hasn't looked very good away from Carolina. 

Gamble was our last legit DB we had on the outside.  In terms of multiple years and consistency.  Peanut and Lucas both put in a strong single season of play.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Seriously? You think we might have 4 or even 5 starters the next couple years from last year’s draft? Wallace and Legette were starters because of injuries and no good depth. We’ve already resigned Thielen and drafted TMac. I’d be shocked if Legette isn’t WR4 (snap/target/production wise) behind those two and Coker. I’m not Sure if Wallace will stay a starter with Rozeboom. Smith-Wade might be the likeliest starter for now because we didn’t draft a CB. We’ll see if he sticks. Sanders may also start but the starting TE is like being the tallest midget. We’ve had about 500ish receiving yards from TEs each of the past 3 years whether it was Thomas/Tremble or Tremble/Hurst or Tremble/Sanders. Honestly, if Evans can stay healthy, the fact that he can actually block (unlike Thomas who sucked but was called a blocking TE) and catch could make him the best starter we have at TE. Also, Brooks missing two of four rookie contract seasons and caused us to draft Etienne in the 4th and sign Dowdle. Sorry man, you’re smoking some serious hopium trying to justify last year’s draft as if it was good. We are one of the worst talented teams in the NFL over the past 7 seasons and sometimes that means that we get a lot of rookie contributors but it doesn’t mean it was a good draft. Until the rookies are actually above average starters it’s like going from Thomas to Tremble to Sanders to Evans. There’s no impact to our win total until one of them actually is more than just a starter because we have to play someone. One last nugget, we won’t be a playoff team if 25% of our starters are from the 2024 draft.

      At the end of the day his momma should’ve just named him better.  This is some weird sh*t “please everybody please call him this, he asked super nicely”

      Sure looked that way. That draft room looked like a funeral when the pick was announced and they'd already taken a QB two rounds earlier. Did not seem like a decision made by the folks in that room. Said it during the draft.
