Earl Thomas only plays deep center field and teams know this. That's why he sucks QBs always line up behind the center! I don't even dislike him. But that seemed forced. He probably thinks that made him sound like a football expert. Edited March 22, 2019 by Norm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes a difference in game planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know....perhaps I have more confidence in Pettine than some others. Forget Capers - last years usage was at Pettine's direction. What did we see? More of the same.....up and down / borderline ineffective / somewhat "Oh geeeezzzz no" performance? Or something we can hang our hats on this year. MLF is new - but lets not extend that factor to Pettine. So what do we have? A player thats STILL being misused (?) - by Capers and now Pettine (?) - a guy thats there's hope for based on performance (?) - or likely it aint gonna happen?

The D looked pretty good to me until injuries stacked up. Pettine had nothing to work with at safety after HaHa quit and injuries. As was said long ago on this board, we had a lot of nice pieces but they didn't fit. Amos is gonna help there and drafting a couple of the right slot/safety guys this year should shape up that secondary and therefore improve pass rush too. Mind you all these dbs are very young still. Tramon could be their dad almost. Jones got beat out by the practice squad. That's on Jones, not Pettine. I didn't like Jones as a prospect. You could see his hesitation in college and it was noted. I just trusted in TT. I do very much like Gute's first drafting. That class is going to be very good to excellent. And it's a return to TT's early drafts updated for athletic traits. Seems like a Dorsey 85% tape/15% athletics but with high marks on character, football IQ. TT missed bc low draft position and desperation need picks that abandoned sound drafting at times. Look forward to what a Gute-LaFleur draft looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
