The coverage skills he shows contesting quick in-breaking routes is very encouraging. That's NFL quality stuff. Yeah I noticed the l lack of highlights covering deep when I watched earlier too. I could have sworn I saw a stat on draft weekend that Dantzler only gave up something like ten receptions of 10+ yards in his last two seasons or something like that. Maybe someone knows or can confirm? Essentially whatever big concerns one has with his speed, there is very little evidence on tape that shows he consistently had a problem being a step slow or getting beat deep.

Essentially whatever big concerns one has with his speed, there is very little evidence on tape that shows he consistently had a problem being a step slow or getting beat deep. Here's all of Dantzler's targets in 2019: Only 3 deep (20+ yard) completions, all despite him being in good position. He's in good position on a couple of deep incompletions as well. One intermediate (10-20 yard) completion, on a pick / rub route combination in the Ole Miss game. Everything else completed was underneath, including a few routes he wasn't really contesting (clock killing situation). There are a couple complete games on YouTube -- he doesn't get targeted much, and doesn't allow many catches when he does. He'll be good as long as his physical / athletic profile translates to the NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson is getting a lot of love too. However, Cam has been nonstop lately. It remind me of the year Greg Childs was blowing up camp pre-injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh...I felt so bad for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childs never really even got a chance to show what he could do since he got injured right out of the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel he would have been the Marcus Sherels before Marcus Sherels was Marcus Sherels. He was a DB/KR/PR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because I bought a long-sleeve T-Shirt with Dantzler's name and number on the back about 3 weeks ago. It's karma. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Glad he's coming around, was a big fan of his selection. Caught me a little off-guard since we had drafted Gladney in the 1st. Awesome he's punching at the ball and creating turnovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I've felt this way since training camp, but I think this is the guy that will be the new Xavier Rhodes for Zimmer. Gladney will be a very good slot corner, but the Needle is going to be the guy that's going to be the #1 outside CB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithVikings28 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Cameron Dantzler was an awesome pick. I like this group of CBs wayyy more than the previous group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they have some fight and spunk to them. Gladney and Dantzler especially and I like how both of them can tackle pretty well and Hand has done well also. Considering Holton Hill has been out and Mike Hughes for weeks and they basically only have rookies out there at corner, it is impressive how well they have done overall. Boyd has done decent as well for a 2nd year player, but needs really improve on special teams, he makes a lot of mistakes. Chisena at least looks quite legit for long term as a special teams gunner. Still was surprised Dantzler pulled the ball to cause that fumble, that was impressive, or the pass catcher just was not paying attention and just kind of let it go. Sadly with how much the Vikings turned it over themselves it kind of eliminated those key turnovers the Vikings defense caused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
