SteelKing728 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 He was hyped up as a big name a few years ago in free agency. What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks1957 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 In two words - he sucked. Garofolo with the accurate reporting - AGAIN! GTFOOH - why in tf would the team release him prior to June 2 - and not realize the max cap savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This past year he showed pretty clearly a lack of consistency and willingness even in that regard. I think Woods lost the entire defense from an effort standpoint but he is culpable for the lack of consistency and effort in run support and leadership. Perhaps he will be a better fit somewhere else as a box guy, but he’s not great against the pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I remember really wanting this dude a couple years ago. Looks like I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A June 1st designation doesn’t literally have to occur on or after June 1st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right It’s what we did with Austin Hooper last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct It’s actually more beneficial for everyone. The team can save, the player can start looking, and other teams can contact him to express interest.

Dude was a stud in our split-safety scheme in 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he cared much for our DC/HC, I don't think he gave a consistent effort as he did in LA, he was pathetic tackling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect, but when you have the front 4 they did with the overall scheme and play, you get a lot of guys who are solid who get more credit than they should. Don’t get me wrong I know he was good then, but between Donald, Brockers, Floyd, and Ramsey, with Fuller and Troy Hill checking in, that really left him in a nice spot to be built for success. Here he was expected to be an impact player and he was exposed a lot on the back end in coverage. In a different scheme perhaps he does better. Like I said, Woods didn’t exactly set him up for success, but a lot of other safeties probably do about as comparably as he did considering how loaded the roster around him was. Elite DL play really makes some dudes look better than they are IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I don’t know what it is with teams taking DBs from the Rams and then not knowing how to use them. Dude excelled in a specific role in LA and then he goes to Cleveland and is asked to do something completely different. Johnson? Let’s have him play free safety! Joyner? Let’s have him play slot corner! Williams? Let’s have him play slot corner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
