Josh Thomas should see significant playing time at CB as well.

Also nickel is Capt, CJ Moore.

Anyway, ill take it. It is an improvement over last year (not saying much).

 

Agreed, I didnt even bother putting in Captain. I think Thomas works his way into the starting lineup at some point, just thinking those are your two opening day starters.

I would say that Florence will definitely start on one side, but the other side is much trickier to figure out. I would love for Josh Norman to step up, but we need to see if he his confidence when covering will be improved (no seven yard cushion on every play). Munnerlyn will probably be in the running and may begin the preseason at number 1 because he came on strong at the end of last season. I don't feel that Thomas will be starting, but he will be the first guy rotating in and out. So, I suppose the most likely starting situation will be:

 

CB: Florence/Norman (Thomas rotating and taking Norman's spot if Norman continues to struggle.)

Nickle: Munnerlyn

FS: Godfrey

SS: Mitchell

I feel like Dock did the best out of all the corner's on the roster (that had significant playing time).

 

I know it doesn't/didn't look flashy but Thomas and Dockery was definitley are best corner combo last year.

Can't be said enough.  Norman gets a lot of love because we drafted him and because of his attitude and for talking poo to Bob Griffin, but Thomas, Dockery, and Captain were all much better at actually playing the position than he was last season.

 

If he's gotten a lot better since then, awesome.  Until he proves it we should have some combo of Florence/Thomas/Dockery at CB 1 and 2.

Rumor has it that Norman took his benching very seriously last year and is back with his priorities in order.  We shall see how this translates. 

Personally, I liked what I saw out of Thomas late in the year but, I would never pull against Norman.

May the best men win.

First of all, Capt can't play outside. He just can't. Keep him as the nickle playing close to the LOS where he can be effective.

Thomas should start on one side until Norman beats him out.

 

I'd rather have Captain and Thomas on the field week 1....than Norman and Drayton.

 

and that isn't a glowing endorsment of Capt and Thomas.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
