Twitter: Is Jourdan Lewis overhyped?

Maybe Richard wasn't blind after all.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Great question. Looking at the stats, he is. But he doesn't get much support from a decent safety or a pass rush either.

This entire team is overhyped. Blow it up.

 

[RS12]

this would be like problem number 50 on the list

Judging solely on the last few games, he's not all we hoped he would be. Our secondary is in disarray. Woefully so.

They are playing him out of position.
Lewis isn't a slot cover guy.

he should be getting more of Chido's snaps on the edge. Not as big as Chido but significantly better ball skills and a more consistent tackler in run support as well.

JL can play. He's just not being used to his best skillset.

I don’t think so but it is hard to say. He just started getting more PT around the time the defense started losing players. He isn’t in the best position to succeed IMO.

 

[mardwin]

I guess nobody is looking a Chido...

 

[tyke1doe]

A vanilla defense will even make Pro Bowlers look like practice squaders

^^^^^^
Winner winner, chicken dinner.....

No

Weird. I don't see him getting beat often. Is he getting blamed for screens or passes in his zone that he gets tagged for? Awuzie has been abused a lot more.

He's better in limited action to limit his exposure. He's better at finding the ball but hes physically limited which hurts him against average QB's who have decent ball placement.

seems like the ones getting beat are Chido, Jones, Woods, Smith, Interior DL. Unless it's s a zone scheme I'm not seeing Lewis get beat man to man often, last week was the exception.

Who’d they lose besides LVE? Heath?

Actually seems like Chido has been quietly lately......seems like Byron and Lewis are the ones getting attacked lately.

Honestly tiny corners playing on the outside has become a thing of the past.

If he can't play inside he can't play period.

I don't know why it happens, but fans of teams have a tendency of overhyping Player X just to make Player Y look worse than they are.

It kind of makes sense when comparing players from different teams, but I think the majority of the time it is done with two Players from the same team.

As far as Lewis. The guy can make plays. But also is not the biggest or quickest CB out there. If he was as athletic as Brown or as big as Byron, he would probably be that shutdown corner.

As of now though, IMO, he may never be a guy who can shutout everyone he faces every week, but he is capable of making defensive plays that not a lot of CBs can.

He's a guy every team can use even if he is never a superstar.

LVE, Woods, Heath, a couple corners got banged up. It just seems around the time that I started seeing quit in the defense along with better teams.

I won’t judge him over the last few terrible weeks without playing from day one.
