Chinn has to step up in coverage with Horn down

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.

Visions of early Thomas Davis mismanagement IMO.  Thomas Davis only became a real monster when he moved and really got comfortable at LB.   It took almost a decade for TD to actually be a monster

Yep, between injuries and not figuring out how to beat utilize him we never really realized how good he was until well into his career. It was actually very reminiscent of Chinn in that he played really well as a rookie in sort of a hybrid role then this happened. I hope we don't waste most of Chinns career. If we can't figure it out, trade him and let someone else have a crack at it. Just be prepared for the "I can't believe we traded Chinn" threads for years. The guy can play but with our coaching turnover, system changes, and position changes the guy can't get anything going

Thoughts on trading Chinn to the Lions for Jameson Williams? I know Williams is suspended for the first six games, but he had great chemistry with Bryce at Alabama and can stretch the filed (4.25 40) 

I’d rather trade Horn and use Chinn to get back into the first round this offseason.

Chinn was our 3lb on sunday. You guys are are running with a weird narrative here saying the team isnt using Chinn properly when they are legitimately running him the exact way you want. We did not play any other linebackers outside of Luvu, Shaq, Burns, and Houston.....

Thomas Davis was moved to LB his second year in the league. We played him at S and LB his rookie year. 

 

He was a beast his third year in the league... 87 tackles, 12 TFLs and 3.5 sacks along with 1 INT.

You expect people to watch and understand what they are looking at?

He might have played a few games ever at safety. He was a linebacker most of the time even in his rookie season. He was a linebacker in the season opener of his rookie season.. no idea what history these guys are following here

    • I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we? 
    • Yep,and Blake Miller have had more experiences than Freeling,Lions did not sigh a vet T like Walker,so they had to pick Miller.
    • I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
