I never said you were wrong Beavis, I said your posts suck. It's not a lack of football knowledge, it's the way you go "drama queen/Captain know it all" when you post such ridiculous things. The defense has lost some key guys and it sucks, like your posts.The football topics get lost because your talking sideways the whole time, stating the obvious over and over again while using it as a platform to go after other posters. I can talk football with most anybody, but you don't just talk football, you talk ****. I don't see us seeing eye to eye (me being so blinded and all), so I'll be on my way now, stay up homie.
Thats the second time youve posted in this thread, and its just as irrelevant as the first.
"I can talk football with most anybody, but you don't just talk football, you talk ****. "
thats ironic because I started this thread talking football, you came in talking trash about me (not football) and came back later to again comment (not about football, again).
So i await your next comment where you state how you just wanna talk football, and say nothing about football. Say something about how my user name is 'Black' T and therefore im doom and gloom. Because 'Black' indicates negativity?
I just don't see the reasoning to be that deflated, man.
PP is a rook but gosh darn it, he just scored a legit pick 6 of Philip Rivers in his third pre-season game, his first time playing against the first stringers. But he is going to be great someday? He at the very least can be good THIS year. DRC broke the starting line up his first year, didn't he? The year we made it to the ship.
AJ Jefferson has given no reason for anyone to think he is just a nobody. How many CBs have we had that had this many pass deflections in a pre-season? He has been victim of some tough penalties I must say as well.I personally have not seen anyone break on a hitch route this consistently to bat away this many passes. Now he may not transfer it into regular, but gee it at least gives some form of positive hope, right?
Richard Marshall was a 2 year starter for Car and had 7 picks in that time. Plus his tackle #s far outshine that of DRC in the same time period.
I am one of those who also firmly believe Mike Adams can be serviceable as the #4 CB. Heck, even Green showed some ability out there.
DRC is GONE. Toler is done for the year. We have to remain positive and support the guys that are going to be here and play this year. There is nothing realistic until Sep 11. We will know more then.
Have any of our top CBs this year been badly beaten deep so far this preseason? I know PP gave up a TD but are there any others? I am not sure about this but gee I haven't seen us getting torched through the air real badly.
I was impressed with the D against SD. For this main reason. Watch first two preseason games. Rivers and company moved up and down the field at will against the opposing D. Our Cards never gave a big play and converged well on the intermediates and we were well in position to win, if it were regular season, against a QB who is considered the 3rd best QB in the game.
See, thank you for your thought out and valid argument.
I have acknowledged this entire time that the season has not began yet and the roster is not complete. If the season were to start today - my post would be in affect. OR if no such changes are made and PP and AJ truly are our starters, it would still be in affect.
The DBs have looked suitable in preseason, but id argue preseason offenses are extremely dumbed down. I assure you its not going to be that easy to defend on gameday. And also keep in mind PP and AJ were defending 2's and 3's because Toler was on the #1 WR. Move PP and AJ up to the 1s and 2s and it may look a little more daunting. Maybe then we will see the burn plays.
PP int was beautiful, but it was 1 time. That doesnt make up for every other time he has, or will get beat. Its same as the AZ v GB wildcard game where Mike Adams got absolutely obliterated. I thought that guy was going to cry right there on the field they were picking on him so bad. Granted he got the game winning forced fumble, but had it not been for that FF, he wouldve been an outcast. Fans wouldve been demanding his head. PP cant be DRC. Get burned 10 times then get a pick. thats counter productive. PP will be great someday, will he be 'good' this year? Theres a possibility, of course. But a good CB on their #1 will only be shooting 50%.
More concern goes to the #2. Now I would hope PP is the #1. If AJ is the #1 then all hope is lost. As high as some of you are on him, the reality is he would get man handled by a #1. If you dont believe me: imagine AJ Jefferson lining up across from Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, Julio Jones, Chad 85, Michael Crabtree, Sydney Rice, Jennings, etc. Tell me he wouldnt get smoked like no other.
Put him #2 and he might stand a better shot, but not by much. #2s are very good in this league. If he catches a slow one, i think he might do a good job. But what if he draws Braylon Edwards when we face SF? He will get outclassed like no other. AJ is just not good enough to be a starter in the NFL right now. Could he be good someday? Sure, but its not right now.
Also keep in mind other teams offensive coordinators will be well aware of our troubles at CB. Ither they know PP has a tendency to turn his back to the QB or that AJ is easily fooled by double moves, they will exploit those flaws to the fullest extent.
