Impressive young man. Exactly the type of player that you extend & keep around for as long as you can.

Man....what a rich history we have had with safeties for the past 15 years or so

Facts. One of the few areas we actually are consistent in.

What is going on with Jalen?

Feels like he isn't making the same plays/impact he was before.

It's like he's playing safe...maybe feeling a bit lost without Budda.

It sounds like he is playing more nickel CB than S which will do that.

Before he was more in a deep help role with Budda further up the field?

 

[football karma]

that first deep pass to Aiyuk was a disappointment -- tailor made to be intercepted by the deep safety

it was like Jalen lost track of the football

yeah at moment of truth he had his back to the receiver on that throw. Disappointing, but still just one play.

Agree with others he's probably better with Budda out there.

I don’t think so. Budda seemed to be the one playing deeper receivers not Jalen. I thought a lot of Jalen’s tackles came in the linebackers area but I could be wrong on this.

That's the opposite of what I remember...Budda being most effective in the box, Jalen more in deep coverage, but I've been wrong before!

Looks like Jalen has actually been our best cover DB!

Our defense has been most dynamic with Budda in the box.

Great freakin game today

He knocked Stroud into week 12.

Out of 64 starting safeties, Budda is still probably solidly top 20.

Thompson was selected with a 5th round pick in the 2019 Supplemental Draft.

PFF continuing to dot all the t's and cross all the i's.

Masterful journalism as usual. Hope the kids in school are paying attention.

In terms of value, JT was probably Keim's best ARZ draft pick.

5th round in the supplemental draft. Wow. He caught lightening in a bottle with that one for sure.

I’d say David Johnson but YMMV.

I've been on the Jalen Thompson wagon all year - performing at a very high level

Not Kyler?

I think DJ flamed out too fast to count. He had 1.5 great seasons then was toast. Makes me sad to think about it. Peak DJ had real CMC vibes. Could have been a superstar. Probably the most exciting Cards player to watch in recent history.

Was never the same after that MCL injury in the last game of 2016. He just lost something he never got back.

I think Budda has to be his best pick. Multiple Pro Bowls and All Pros from a 2nd round pick. JT his best day 3 pick for sure.
