Man, he really looks the part.  Great size for a CB.  Love the mentality too.  He should be a pro bowler early 

That’s what really stood out to me. He looks huge. We haven’t had a corner that big since Chris Gamble. He’s going to a QB’s nightmare once he gets some seasoning on him.

I'm really optimistic for this defense. I'm not sure how good we'll be this season, but I think we will be pretty good. But we have a window coming up to be a truly exceptional defense imho.

I think we’re an MLB and FS away from being an elite defense.

Well he wasn't exactly going against Montana and Rice out there, but I like the positivity.

Yeah, I mean Haskins couldn’t complete a pass on us hardly last year in the regular season.   He had like 2 INTs and a little over a hundred yards with all his WRs. 
 

Horn looks good.  But we have seen almost nothing from him yet.

The thing I like most about Horn is the video he put up on his YT account (I don't follow it, it was just linked somewhere) where he went to train with Xavier Howard and co. I think in Miami.

Anyway, he picked up their coaching tips instantly. That, coupled with his freaky length and athleticism, is incredibly exciting.

I don't think many people will be moaning about not taking Player X with that pick in a few years time. He's that good.

We were average in pass defense last year, it really wasn’t too much of an issue. Though interceptions certainly were.

We have good pass rush too, get to the QB quite a bit, but have trouble closing the deal. Which isn’t the worst. I call it up to experience.

Both those things will no doubt be improved.

Run defense…was atrocious. It was the reason teams got all those third down conversions. The chance was in their favor to get a first if they just ran in 3 times according to the average..4.7, third worst in the league.

When the opposing team knows this, and the fact you aren’t intercepting it, they’ll eat you alive with short passes and running it. And that’s what happened.

And it still appears we struggle against the run game. Fix that, and this is a legit defense without a doubt.

Being able to take other people's techniques and skills and molding it into your own is a skill a lot of people overlook. It's that willingness to continue learning is why Horn is going to be elite.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
