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.

so who knows..i think he can make it..in what form IDK..but it would be cool to have the SS of the def

from nfl.com

Positives: Short, but has a legitimate NFL body. ... Rare straight-line speed and agility. ... Loose hips to turn and run with receivers. ... Good explosiveness out of his cuts. ... Closes quickly and gets his hands on passes. ... Soft hands for the interception and can high-point passes. ... Good body control to contort in space and make the athletic catch. ... Good returner with experience fielding both punts and kicks. ... Plays with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. ... Not afraid to mix it up with the big boys and is willing in run support. ... Reliable open-field tackler who flashes surprising explosiveness as a hitter. ... Has forced three fumbles.

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?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
