Phil Snow Press Conference

I still haven't figured out how to embed a tweet, but:

Horn has high football IQ, is really big, fast learner, nailed the pre-draft phone interview- was eager to cover Juilio and Mike Williams.

Chinn has been a safety his whole life so he's transitioning well.  Last year we played him front to back, this year we'll play him from the back up.  They're still going to move him around, blitz him.

Hassan went to Temple as a corner but flourished as DE, he can do a lot of different things.

Shaq is bigger/heavier went from 225 to 235.

He felt Keith Taylor was a 2-3rd round talent and was surprised he fell to us (Do we actually have depth at CB?)

Burns is 22 and was younger last year than all the rookies we brought in.

Horn and Taylor fit right in as if they've been in the NFL a long time.

Donte has exceptional movement and ball skill, working on consistency.  3 picks in 400 snaps...could be 6-7 ints at 1000 snaps.

We are base 4-3.

I saw it on youtube live.  I think we got a steal in Taylor.  He mentioned him a few times and I think he's very happy with what he has shown in OTAs.  

He did say we'll see how good they are once the pads go on. 

I didn't catch who asked the question about Sam but I thought it was a stupid question since Snow is the DC. Outside of knowing Sam as a Panther I am sure he not going to comment on his ability and was smart to say so.

I know right?  I thought the same thing.  He was very gracious.....uhhh, you need to talk to the offensive coaches about him, I see him at breakfast.

Good stuff. I really like Snow personally.

As I think about this, combine his increased reps this year, contract year,  better coverage from the other side and increased pressure from the new DE...oooh shivers.

Jacksons true position might be FS with his lack of tackling ability and ball skills.

Better coverage on the other side will arguably put more pressure on him.

Tackling ability is more important at FS.

Yup.  Heads up, balls comin your way Donte.

[LinvilleGorge]

I was extremely doubtful about Snow's ability to translate to the NFL, but he really impressed me working with what he had last year. Just seems like an old school, hard nosed, no nonsense football coach.

Hopefully they move JC around and keep him on WR1 so Dante is covering the second or third option.

If you draft a CB in the top 10 and he doesn't travel in your defense, you fuged up IMO.

Yeah Horn is a press man CB. He will go cover whoever Snow tells him to cover. Definitely a waste to try to make him play zone…
