Thomas with the Ravens in 2019 was far better than Joseph has ever been throughout his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Bringing KJ back reflects how Gruden/Mayock have treated the S position during the entire tenure here. Instead of looking to add a quality starter we've regularly scrapped the bottom of the barrel in free agency because we don't value the position. Which is evident by the fact that we've had Marcus Gilchrist, Reggie Nelson, Erik Harris, and Jeff Heath starting at safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one claimed he'd be a Pro Bowler or an All Pro but no one in their right mind can think Harris is better surely? This so much. Seems like its all about bashing every move Anyway my take: Adding Joseph improves our roster while at the same time we still have hole at safety.

It's not about bashing every move, KJ is an average box safety, which is fine. But we already have two players on the roster with a similar skill set in Heath and Abram.

Right now I could not tell you who is the best safety on the team. I am happy I will finally get to see Joseph and Abram on the field together. Just go back and watch game one of 2019. The Denver receivers were struggling to pick themselves up after getting hit. Abram and Joseph are scary for opposing receivers in the middle of the field, RBs will not be able to get to the edge, but will be scary for us over the top. We can make it work but we currently have to two guys that let WRs get behind because they are too aggressive with wanting to make a hit. Mistakes suck but we are going to have to except that if we want to create more turnovers and be aggressive. As it stands right now Heath is number 3 for me and I am hoping Bradley can teach Abram and Joseph to play within the defense. No matter what it is better than having Reggie Nelson back there.

(Sarcasm, would take those 5 INTs though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mentality of scrapping the bottom of the barrel for average players and "we good." Doesn't work and hasn't worked in a long time. I don't mind Joseph as a rotational piece, I just think his skill set is redundant with Heath and Abram already in the fold. If Joseph and Abram are our starting safeties next season, we're in for another long year defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezy Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 KJ isnt the answer but he also allows us more flexibility in the draft. Id bet anything we take RT with our first pick now though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
