I don't know about "Capt Caveman" but the Capt can play and will lay a lick on you. I think I would rather have him returning kicks than Mark Jones too. The guy has talent and is fast, his lack of height is his biggest drawback.

zone isn't his strength but man is...i think he could end up being great against players who work their way around our zones. one thing i kept seeing about him is that he didn't have a lot of numbers compared to other CBs in the draft but that was because he didn't have the ball thrown on his side of the field much. i'm thinking...isn't that a good thing?

The thing about being good in man coverage is that those skills are used in zone coverage as well. The corner will press the receiver off the line and play tight coverage similar to man coverage but will release him to another defender as he passes throgh the zone and into another. Secondly the nickel guy plays alot more man coverage than does a normal corner. That could be why we picked him. Having both skill sets is a good thing.

With that being said, can you explain to me why we have such a problem accomplishing this, much less even trying it?

I can't recall the last game I saw, that resembled any pressure on any receiver off the LOS.

I know you are talking defense in general throughout the league, but what is our problem with doing this?

Honestly?

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
