Just think about this for a second.

Hubby, I know you are the eternal optimist, and I respect that. But you may be crossing into irrational optimism territory by naming Ness as a contributor to the D improvement.

The guy is the definition of a journeyman and likely won't even sniff the final 53.

not understanding the hate on Ness. He is better than people think and apparently he has been shining in practice.

Ness has been in 2 practices with the Panthers. Two.

He has been on 7 teams in 4 years. To me, that is the definition of a journeyman. It is not hate on Ness, and if the guy turns into something I will eat my share of crow. It just doesn't seem reasonable to call him out yet as a reason for optimism.

It's just been one week of camp. Let's wait and see how things play out in the secondary. My bet is that the guys returning from last year along with Norman will provide an answer (eventually).

All of these guys are very close in ability......the tough part is the mental part, maybe a switch flipped in his head finally. Let's hope he sustains it

    • The Texans have done so much to try and surround CJ. They signed Diggs last year. Dell gets hurt so they trade for Kirk this past year. They drafted Higgins (who many had as a 1st rounder) and Noel (many here wanted) and still had Hutchinson The fact is CJ had a pretty easy his rookie season. Clean pockets. Guys running open deep. Slowik was in his bag. Then the wheels fell off. CJ didn’t respond well to Slowik’s hard coaching. Slowik gets canned.  I don’t think there’s been a massive regression I just think things are a lot less easy now and CJ is having to actually think a bit on his own. Which is where the problems begin. CJ has some Sam Darnold to him. He can make every throw with ease but when there’s pressure they tend to do dumb stuff. In 2023 there was a lot less pressure and thinking so CJ balled out much like Sam did in Minnesota or even in Seattle. They’re both very very dependant on coaching/situation
