Correct me if I'm wrong too, but I think I remember him playing decent your everyday WR's. But he's getting matched up with rather large WR's too. Like last week when it was him vs Sutton and his 6'4 216 self, You're probably right. Aside from Heyward and Hobbs, I tend to black out when passes are thrown at our DBs b/c I prefer to not see the outcome. It makes for fun game days.

People were calling Hayward washed up in the off season and he's been one of the best CBs in the league so far......... Trufant was very good a few years back but CBs do seem to fall off pretty fast so not expecting him to be Hayward but if he can plug a hole that would be good, though I do want to see more Facyson. That’s the thing when you have a good evening to coordinators you’re actually excited about people that get brought on because you know he knows what he’s doing or that person wouldn’t be on the team. When your defensive coordinator is garbage they just get people with no vision for how they actually help or fit what they wanna do as we’ve seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBXISBXVSBXVIII Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 He's 31. Is that too old for a CB? I mean, he's old AF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hopes with Amik as a slot due to his size. It’s an issue on the outside as seen on Sunday. With Hobbs, I just don’t see a place for Amik. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a body w/ experience, a lot of experience, and right now, we don't have much to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all how the body is responding I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Cover 3 is also vet friendly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrOaktown_56 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 He should be fine as a backup corner no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlenlyKenny Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 His brother was a excellent player, it should be cool to see Desmond play in S&B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a pro bowler in the system when he was healthy plus always thought of him as a really good corner. He just always gets hurt. So the capacity that we have him in is pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the capacity that we have him in is pretty good @MrOaktown_56I want to add that it seems like in cover three it actually makes you better to be older because you've seen more and then you get better at playing your zone. But I could be wrong Edited October 21, 2021 by Jeremy408 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
