We lucked out that Ridder is terrible. Pitts didn’t even double move Chinn here and he absolutely abused him. We need him to step up.

Chinn is a LB/S hybrid. He's not making up for losing our #1 CB. We were already thin at CB. 

I get that Pitts is listed as a TE but lets be honest, he's a jumbo WR. He's a matchup nightmare. There are very few safeties and even fewer LBs that aren't going to be significantly overmatched by him one on one.

It’s not just Pitts, it’s the issue of Chinn looking poorly in coverage. I know Pitts is a different but Chinn was the guy who should be able to cover TEs.

Pitts is a TE in name only. The guy is a jumbo slot WR.

Chinn is once again an overhyped player. We continue to paint these guys as stars and they are not that.

 

Chinn is a hybrid S/LB who should be used on blitzes or in the box. He's not a DB.

 

If Chinn is a DB we are going to get torched in the passing game.

It’s been a long time since Chinn impacted a game 

his rookie sensational year seems long ago

someone on this bloody team needs to step up and make plays

im sick of excuses ‘ it’s a new scheme’  ‘our star xyz is out’

this is football…not physics 

lesser teams have won games 

someone needs to step up Monday night

I’m probably guilty of remembering Chinns rookie year and thinking he’d be that plus some more in future seasons.

Chinn. Is. Overrated.

[RJK]

Chinn should blitz and run fit. That’s all

They immediately bumped him to free safety and stunted his growth. Maybe his rookie year was a flash in the pan no matter what but spending 2 years shoehorned into an unnatural position is not helpful, and he's still out of position this year. Dude needs to be a 4-3 SS/ Thomas Davis Joker-type player.

Let's be honest, Chinn cannot cover for sh*t. Not his game and never will be. Playing him out of position doesn't work.

I know y’all are high on Chinn but the dude has massively regressed after his rookie year. His game tape we watch last year and this past Sunday shows it. He has every athletic trait you can possibly want. He lacks the nfl mental right now. Tons of little mistakes that add up. Watch his feet and hips.  He too often get caught flat footed and getting turned around. Also, he overshoots the run too often.  He could get away with that freak athleticism in D1aa but in the nfl he just seems to be a step Behind.

Yeah, a lot of folks are overlooking that the guy is playing his third position in as many seasons. Playing him as a deep FS was just absolutely baffling though.

Either shift Chinn to LB or trade him in my opinion
