Worth Noting... (Re: Defensive Philosophy)

ESPN just had a segment where they asked a group of coaches to name the second most important position on the field (the first, of course, being quarterback).

Several said "pass rusher", but Ron Rivera (offscreen) said it was a cornerback "to take away the quarterback's favorite receiver".

So now you know what the coach thinks on the topic. Agree or disagree? And do you think it says anything about our draft plans?

If it's just the favorite receiver he's referring to, we already have that guy in Chris Gamble.

Wouldn't who ever we pick be his eventual replacement? Remember how Ken Lucas was the baddest CB on the planet and then the very next year less than average?

Can't compare Gamble and Lucas man. Gamble been doin it for longer and is just an overal better corner than Lucas. If we don't go CB in the 1st and Janoris is there in the 2nd you would be stupid not to pick him IMO

Maybe, but we play against more than one team with multiple receiving threats.

Is a single shutdown corner enough in today's pass happy NFL?

two years ago we were discussing whether shutdown corners could even exist with the new rules..

i think he was speaking more to getting the qb out of his comfort zone, taking away his first look and flustering him less than blanketing the entire field with shutdown cbs.

Granted, we're extrapolating from a single sentence.

The one thing I think you could reasonably say from that is that Rivera apparently sees coverage as a higher priority than pressure, but even so, I wouldn't bet on there being a significant gap between the two in his thinking.

or simply that Rivera finds coverage harder to find than pressure......................

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.

      At least we have Mike Kay and his little buddy sidekick whoever to put you to sleep when suffering from insomnia. They're all useless unfortunately.
