He was just put in a different role then what he was in DC. He had a heck of a playoffs & a great Super Bowl. He almost had two ints. I’m glad we have him back. I'm glad he's back too. We can put him in the inside or at S, and move Moreland to the outside where he belongs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha 🤣 We’ll see, I hope they all play well and take big steps forward. I really don’t care who it is, but I think Moreau has the most untapped potential in our secondary. How he played vs Carolina last year is the guy I hope we see more consistently this year. And as far as Dunny goes, I just hope he stays healthy for once. If he stays healthy, we good in the secondary, he makes a huge difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a healthy secondary that wasn't getting burnt every 5 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we got rid of the true burnt toast already when we cut Norman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I know I said I liked it in the FA thread, and I’m still glad they got him back — but that’s a really REALLY steep price for a slot CB. I think the key with Kendall is just accepting what he is, and not feeling forced to try to make him into something else. He’s just never been someone who can effectively cover on the outside. He doesn’t have the size or length to challenge NFL receivers out there, and he doesn’t have the long speed to run with the dangerous deep threats. But he’s really one heck of a gamer, and if you put him in the slot where his twitch and his instincts and his toughness can carry him through, he’s terrific. For whatever reason, KC kept trying to stuff him into an outside CB role — maybe because of how they valued him in taking him as the lead piece in the Smith deal or maybe because they just really needed one. But we need to be mindful of playing him where he’s great, instead of trying to make him into something he’s not, simply because of how much we paid for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC did that in 2018 bc they didn’t have any better options. Last year I don’t think they had Fuller on the outside as much bc they had signed Breeland.

Hopefully we move him around to me hes a DB not a true outside CB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Mc Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I want us to get rid of Monte Nicholson now and slot Kendall Fuller in. He actually looked pretty good at FS and I think a true conversion would do him (and us) good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slot corners are getting paid in the NFL, but good teams are finding them in the draft and keep churning them out. My issue with the signing is the amount of money we have tied up in a slot cornerback and a box safety- two player archetypes where a lot of good teams don't normally spend money- and here we are with a ton of money tied into each. Granted, having what could be an elite defensive line all on rookie contracts helps that, but eventually the Redskins need to develop players in those areas, and keep developing them. Safety has been an issue for a long time. I'm worried about our corner situation since Torrian Gray left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A TRAIN 89 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Wonder if he would be moved FS... He played the position very well in KC towards the end of the season, capping it off with the Super Bowl-ending INT. He is also an excellent slot CB, so I wonder what RR and JDR value more. Regardless, his position flexibility and ability to play them at a high level is a great thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, his position flexibility and ability to play them at a high level is a great thing. He plays amazing in the scrum and has a nose for the ball there. He is a quick twitch over long speed. That’s why he shouldn’t be a outside CB. I think he can play FS but in today’s NFL it’s okay to have an Elite Nickle. That’s a weapon not many teams have. Also his build and traits work better inside or with his eyes on the QB then chasing a big tree tall guy up the sideline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
