Our future at Cornerback?

[big dog cowboy]

Byron cant catch...never gets any interceptions, I'd let him walk

Not the primary responsibility of a CB.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

So Byron is in the top100 of the NFL , and he is a JAG ?

No way.

 

[Idgit]

CB, DT, and S. Going to have to replace some players.

 

[kskboys]

Awuzie is under contract through 2020. He's scheduled to count $1.3 million against the cap that year ... unless I'm missing something.

I'd re-sign Jones after this season, let Lewis take over the slot for Brown next year and then possibly re-sign Awuzie in 2021 depending on his play. (We could up both of those by a year and I'd be fine with it.) If we let Jones walk, Awuzie and Lewis could start, but it doesn't seem that the coaches want Lewis to do that. I see Brown getting a shot at starting for a team with weak corners so I can't see him returning for what we'd be willing to pay a third corner.

You'd pay Jones 20 mil/season? And let who walk?

 

[kskboys]

What looks like a problem might just be an opportunity. Got 3 CB's going into the season as a prove it season to get a new deal or worse case, showcase themselves for FA.

Got a secondary coach thought highly of so making the decision should be in good hands so I am going to wait to see how this all unfolds.

Here's the kicker, this isn't a secondary known for having one ball hawk and the skills so far, seem to be lacking. To the DC and SC, picks are great but merely one of the evaluations they make on the secondary. Our criticisms of these players, specifically B. Jones are not necessarily what they will use. For instance, does Jones' coverage give the DL and extra second to get to the QB? Does he cause the QB to throw to the WR that the Cowboys prefer to have the ball? Hell if I know but picks are not going to be the criteria for getting a new contract.

We do have one. He doesn't play much. No one really knows why.

Didn't Michael Thomas have 0 catches against us last year??? Someone is going to pay a lot for a guy like that.


I think Byron is probably out of our price range.

 

[fansince68]

So what do you guys see happening?

Byron Jones, Chido, and Anthony Brown will all become available.

Can we potentially bring back all 3?

Would we pick Chido and Brown over Byron or vice versa?

It's looking like Corner is going to be the top priority in the 2020 draft.

In light of this, its risky keeping Olumba on the practice squad, he could get plucked.

That's what I said.

 

[mattjames2010]

When people get second chances sometimes they prove people wrong. Richard did that last year. If there were significant doubts about his ability he wouldn't have gotten consideration for head coaching jobs this offseason.

He was set up for interviews, crappy coordinators around the league get these every year. Doesn't mean he was going to get a job.

Who cares about the 2020 draft right now? We have our first game of the 2019 season this week. lol

No way.

Fans have always been this way.

There was actually an argument at one time on this forum about Terrence Newman vs Deangelo Hall.

Hall got a lot of picks but gave up a lot of big plays.

Newman didn't get many picks but he was about as shutdown as it got.


Whatever shows up in highlights is what most people gravitate towards. Like Zeke vs Barkley. Barkley can be terrible all game and make 1 big run that pad his numbers and suddenly he's better then Zeke.

 

[eromeopolk]

Let Byron walk

Sign Brown to a new deal

Draft a corner early in 2020

Start lewis chido and brown

If Wilson and Woods develop at Safety, then you let B Jones walk and keep Awuzie and Brown. I like what is on the practice squad and the 2020 draft is loaded at CB.

 

[bsbellomy]

From my understanding he was very close to being hired by the Dolphins and Jets. And "crappy" coordinates most certainly do not get these interviews.

Yes, they do. Lol

And if he was “very close” with the Jets, he lost to a guy who just got fired by the Dolphins just a few months ago. So, not exactly being held in high regards there

I think this place has a thing for Richards because he’a a loud vocal guy - this doesn’t automatically translate into a great DC or HC. Don’t let Garrett’s robotics fool you.

 

[Johnny23]

The coach wishes he was a little bit taller.

 

[Portnoy1]

I would like to see another season of shutdown Byron. If he regresses, let him walk. But if he is indeed balls out again, then we need to work something out. This is one of the reasons I wouldn't pay Dak yet, cause if Byron and even Maliek ball out, while Dak is supbar then I save myself some money with Dak I would use to help pay those other guys.

 

[DuncanIso]

Let Byron and AB walk.

Walk where? over to the Skins camp?

Nah.

just pay them.

 

[Sydla]

Not the primary responsibility of a CB.

I feel like these guys that are obsessed with interceptions were the same people that claimed Jalen Ramsey couldn't play CB in the NFL because he didn't have enough interceptions in college.

 

[Sydla]

You can't pay them all. I know you believe cap space is infinite, but it is not.

At some point, after the Zeke contract and the likely signings of Dak and Cooper, the team is going to have to make some tough decisions on some other players. I think Byron Jones will be one of those guys gone, especially if they get solid CB play out of Awuzie, etc.
