SteelKing728 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 We haven't had a corner do that for us since like 2017 haha. Man was that textbook perfect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 So at the end of the day, how does Dantzler compare to Trae Waynes, as a Viking? Seems this was a well calculated move. Dantzler keeps getting better when he’s out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promising for moving forward. Edited December 12, 2020 by SemperFeist 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I have to remind myself not to be upset with the Gladney pick. I preferred other corners over him but he's been decent and should be a perfect fit at NCB for us. Dantzler though...man he could be great!

Dantzler is getting INT's though, and that's something Waynes hardly ever did. I like how Dantzler looks to find the ball before it gets there, instead of the way Waynes would just wait for the guy to catch it and then take him down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Dantzler needs to add about 10 pounds, and get stronger up top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you should be upset at the Gladney pick, he's a Zimmer corner through and through. He is a fighter, he plays scrappy and he never gives up on a play. He will get beat and he will get flagged, but he will also make plays on the ball which will cause QBs to think twice about throwing to him. I think he's comparable to corners like Marcus Peters or Jalen Ramsey in that regard, although I'm not sure he will be as good as either, yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's shown better than some of our other young corners starting their careers, especially Waynes and Hughes. I do like him and could see a big jump in year 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Dantzler is a stud. If his body/frame holds up, he'll be special. Gladney is going to be a great complementary player as well. Now, we just need another solid outside CB for when Gladney goes to the slot, and we absolutely need more depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have some hope for Hughes. Hopefully a season’s worth of rehab, and what will likely be closer to a normal offseason will get him healthy.

Otherwise his option would have been decided last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
