For years we debated if he’d be good finally cus of his “amazing footwork” but he just couldnt turn his head around to play the ball on outside.  That’s not a real issue at slot.

Still never made sense to me that they spent so much on a slot-only CB.  But yeah...in Jacksonville, he's been just fine as a slot guy.  In this system especially, it seems to eliminate most of whatever he struggled with in Oakland.  Same deal as Colvin who was phenomenal as the slot CB in this system...but obviously flamed out completely when he signed a big deal to do more, playing outside of that specific role in this specific system.  So it does start to beg the question...how tough a gig is it really?

Yeah when players like Colvin are very good then and get cut fast and busts like Hayden (bust isn’t even the word he was horrid) become so good..... it’s probably the system.
