I would defend the premise that Chinn still has much to show before he can be thought of as on the same level as Derwin James as a Safety.

As a pure safety, I'd agree.

Chinn has yet to show that he can put up the kind of production he did during his rookie year as a hybrid safety / linebacker while only playing one role.

I've seen several huddlers assume TMJ I'd a lock in our previous discussions about the WR depth chart, but I don't.  Shi has definitely surpassed him on it and I have gushed repeatedly about his potential...  he could be HUGE for us.  Higgins probably leapfrogged over him too.  TMJ flashed last year, then got hurt, then they didn't play him anymore, and now he can't even get on the field.  Also factor in guys like Saunders and Wright started getting 1st team snaps, we have to keep Roberts for STs, and I think it was Smitty that said the UDFA Henry is really highly regarded by the staff, and TMJ may be a one and done.  He's definitely playing with fire.

I don't see them cutting him outright or letting him get poached from the PS. Decent chance that they could IR him for the season though like they did Fletcher last year. But yeah, no reason for him to take a roster spot unless he can suit up, no matter how "talented" he is.

    • I already said things like speed and athleticism you either have it or don't. Like Tet's size and wingspeed. But a big knock on  Tet was that he didn't play as physically as you would expect given his size and strength. In fact he struggled against press coverage and couldn't get separation off the line or off the top of his break which is why he has so many contested catches to begin with. He was not great taking balls away like a Mike Evans was and would struggle against physical corners in the NFL. But he has what you can't coach. That is why we drafted him. What he lacks can be taught.  Legette has good size and speed. He actually could get separation but couldn't catch the ball using poor technique. Once again those skills can be taught. Both Legette and Tet have great physical skills and will complement each other. They are clearly different but I don't share your belief that their deficits can't be coached or remediated. One question with both of them will be their willingness to be physical in the run game and play with aggression.  
    • This might be my favorite quote from game 1.    "the Hurricanes seem to have it for stretches long enough that you could get up out of your seat, wait in line for popcorn, hit the restroom and get back to the stands — and not miss a Capitals appearance in the offensive zone."   Washington post
    • Its not blind faith, we just aren't jaded and can see that he provides something needed that isn't on this team. Like it or not, he is our only deep threat, jump ball guy, Tmac isn't that yet. He is the fastest and biggest reciever we have.  He is really good at getting position on CBs and he also blocks downfield.  Tmac is going to take adams role and get the most targets, Coker will be third and we better hope Theilen is 4th or 5th.
