Hadn't seen this interview posted on the huddle. 

Sharing this because Henderson is showing he is critical of his own production, and know for him to get to where he wants to be, he must play with consistency.  

Yes this is a no Brainer, but the feeling I get from most of the critical comments of him, is he just doesn't care to be the player he is capable of being.

From the way it sounds, Evero's defense funnels passing plays towards CB1. That would mean that CJ is rarely going to be on an island by himself (unless he happens to be CB1 on the play, of course). With a player who's confidence has been shaky at times, that could go a long ways towards making him a meaningful contributor to the defense.

Apparently he is really stepping up this camp and may resurrect his career. It would be a welcome surprise if he can live up to his potential in this new defense under Evero.

It will be huge if he does step up this year. Although he needs to prove it, it may save us from spending a draft pick on that position next year.

It is wild we had clowns on here saying we should release a former top 10 pick on a rookie deal who has ever been part of atrocious coaching staffs. I think we’re in for a surprise with CJ, dude didn’t just forget how to play CB after college

Contract years matter more.

hate to say it but I’ve seen this show before and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the primary cause. People try hardest when their money is on the line.

I will take a contract year performance if it helps us win the division and make the playoffs, even if he ultimately signs with someone else for the big payday.

Honestly, I didn't think he was bad last year when he was our #3 corner. When he had to play #1 corner due to injuries and was matched up on Mike Evans with no safety help, everyone could have predicted what would happen...

 

Well. He was bad enough to where the competent staff we have in place didn't give him that extra year on his Rookie deal.

I'm really hoping he steps it up this year but I'm not holding my breath.

He had wilks as a DB Coach last year and did not improve, so I don't know if this staff will be able to unlock his potential either.

Then again, the scheme could be a better fit, but we'll see.

Like you. I'm hoping for the best, but trying to tamper my expectations. I don't need him to suddenly become a lock down CB, just a solid back up.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
