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.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
