I think they seen his freakish athletic ability and thought this guy can be a great safety
But he is a more natural CB
As for 5th year option, I think jury is still out
Gonna have to be a real ball hawk to justify the cost especially with the young kids being good looking players and much cheaper

Sounds exactly right with this front office and head coach. They are and have been completely lost on defense since Garrett took over.

Nobody has any idea what to do or how to build and execute a defense. 7 years.

I am really scared this will be a defense heavy draft and we will end up with the wrong guys yet again.

Been saying that since he was drafted. Never had the instincts for S. Dumbest coaching staff in the league.
Instincts are so important
A few vets have made the transition but had years of experience to fall back on
It’s just so much different than covering a single guy or a zone

Pretty obvious.

Kris likes to run the Cover 3 shell and press, disguised with Cover 1 looks.

For him, optimally this involves bigger CBs with some speed.

I think being the possible #2 behind Chido with Lewis as slot could be the best thing that's happened to him

If they draft defensive guys they might get lucky
I’m worried we only draft one in the top 3 rnds

Me and you been correct about Charmin Jones for years.

Richard is not going to have some pansy back there who's scared to tackle.

Do you mean his patented, loving and caressing of the ball carrier to the ground?

He may be a freakish athlete and all-around good guy, but it took me about 1/2 of a regular season game to see that he was not a full-time safety.

Byron jones over Landon Collins
Jaylon smith over Myles jack
Taco charlton over jj watt


This group should build a defense on free agents who are proven and over pay for the certainty that they can play in the league.

Then just keep drafting offensive players because they are good at it.

I'm excited to see how the DB's look this year with Richard. Sturm mentioned he'll have a piece on the Richard hiring and how it may effect the defense.
