NYRaider Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Very encouraging to hear Von Miller refer to Crosby as a "franchise player" and Yannick praise Crosby as well. Think he's due for a breakout year and will eventually be starting over Ferrell opposite of Yannick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the times I saw him in college, which was not a lot, he looked better in the slot than he did on the outside. That is also why I wanted to give Amik a shot on the outside. I could be absolutely wrong but I feel it is another instance of this team over thinking it and depending on measurables to much. The thing that worries me about Arnette in the slot is that he really struggled tackling last season. Having a broken wrist probably played a big role in that but it's something that could be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He the one guy that has proven to be able to play outside. Im confident if he was beaten out fairly he would then move inside without issues, but thats not gonna happen. Arnette hasn't shown enough to start him outside over Hayward who has been one of the better CB's in the league for years and who's a guy that has played under Bradley for years. Based on our FA signings/draft picks and chatter from OTA's I don't even think Arnette will have that big of a role for us this season. Douglas and Wreh-Wilson both played better than Arnette last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a popular opinion, but he's got decent coverage, physical and puts his body on the line tackling, has the worst hands I've ever seen though. Hands like feet 😀 I think he's pretty underrated.

Agreed, if we're going on the best players then our best starting trio is probably Mullen, Hayward and Lawson although there is a couple weeks when Lawson is unavailable I think so Arnette may get a run for a little bit. That trio looks pretty solid to me although obviously if we don't have a pass rush again they'll struggle. I'm optimistic we'll have at least some semblance of pass rush though.

Ferrell hasn't really shown anything as a pass rusher at all. He has 6.5 sacks in 26 games and 3.5 of those came against the Chargers who had one of the worst OL in the league and 2 came against the Jets.
