Jackson could never intercept a ball for the rest of his career and he’s still a very solid starting CB. It’s crazy to me people are saying things like he sucks or a good team would replace him. He’s been very good at covering guys and deflecting passes, which is even more impressive given that teams avoid the other side of the field cuz of Horn. Jackson is one of the better #2 CBs in the league and no amount of dropped interceptions changes that.

? Should be great, you should never have to cover their WR1 so you get to pad your stats. Except for the Dallas game for whatever reason he got Lamb almost every snap

That’s not how it works, especially since we don’t have Horn follow #1s. It’s hell because the other team is usually throwing at you because Horn takes away the other option.

While I was aware that Horn does not shadow WR1 I learned something interesting in the game from one of the announcers ...

Horn ALWAYS plays the short side of the field.  As in, he will switch sides when the ball moves from one hash tag to the other.

It seems intuitive that short side of field equals easier route coverage (correct me if I'm wrong) and expanding further I wonder if Mike Jackson was put into that role would his stats improve?

If Horn is such a shut down corner, why isn't he just following the biggest WR threat around the field?

Is there something inherently harder about covering the short side of the field?  Why make life easier for your best CB?

This whole sequence rules lol

 

The thing I notice about this?  Watch Scourton.  The man is going to be a beast in the NFL--no quit.  He runs about 60 yards on this play. And when Love runs back across the field, he takes a great angle.

Yea its kind of weird.   Horn doesnt shadow and always stays on the short side of the field.   

They asked about it and the answer was we play primary zone defense so having Horn shadow changes the whole scheme for everyone. Seattle ran this with Sherman he never switched sides. Evero has almost indirectly mentioned us not having a good enough defense yet from our pass rush to our secondary to leave players in man. So he is using Horn to take away a section of the field and making adjustments around the rest. I’m not sure I 100% agree, but it does make sense and provides a legit reason IMO.

Thats my understanding as well. Im sure he could follow a guy around all game like Revis used to but then were putting the rest of our defense in man and that would be a bad idea

      Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.

      We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
