VikeManDan Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 He's been nothing short of incredible this season. I'll admit I was a little perplexed at the extension but he's certainly earned it. Safety is one of the strongest positions on the team because of the emergence of #44. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 Probably one of the last draft threads that I made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extension looks shrewd as heck right now. Point Kwesi and team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cearbhall Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 How much is he going to cost when it comes time to extend him again? The team should be looking to do that sooner than later IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing the way that I'm sure the Cardinals thought Isaiah Simmons could play. The style of defense I employ/coach it's honestly the most important position on the field, and really makes the defense go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Zimmer prioritized safeties in his defense though? Or, at least I think he valued CBs much more than Safeties, and only asked that his FS can play SS and vice versa.

Zimmer's defense got Anthony Harris and Xavier Woods paid, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the long write-up of his defense: https://www.dailynorseman.com/2015/6/8/8750195/so-what-exactly-is-a-mike-zimmer-defense It doesn't seem like S is devalued. More like he just needed CBs capable of being able to play man/press-man coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is schematically evident, and its also worth noting that Metellus has developed very real, substantial skills that not every player bring at his position. He's a really good tackler and has pretty much perfected the peanut punch. I think it's safe to say he's proven he can be useful in any defense, but Flores has gotten the most. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Metellus quite a bit more after watching him (opposite to my experience watching Harrison Hand). He does line up everywhere from single high, to box safety to slot corner. He seems really smart, often pointing things out presnap to his teammates, and he doesn’t end up out of position. Spot on write up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
