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?

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
