you expect him to be better than trevon?
He was better in college as far as his coverage skills. Diggs won't keep up all of these interceptions.. The measurable on Diggs aren't quite as good as Bossmans... I know it's easy to forget about him, but he is a big time player that I believe will grow fast as soon as he is thrown out there.. He is way more of a lockdown corner than Diggs as well... We fall out of love with players quickly on this forum, especially ones that get hurt and don't see the field, but I definitely see Bossman as being right up there with Diggs and expect him to mature quickly... Call me crazy, I'm good with that.. I think Billy Joel said it- I made be right or I may be crazy! HA

Is he even practicing yet?

He was hurt the end of August in what was supposed to be a 2-4 week thing. It did not at all look serious when it happened

Coming up on 8 weeks later....

I would think part of that is the roster numbers thing, but maybe they didn't see enough from him to rush it either.

I wasn't in love with the pick.....it seemed 100% forced after not getting a CB in the first.

I agree about the team not being in a rush. After seeing him in the preseason, I can see why.

Yes, I believe he needs real time reps. He was taken in the 2nd round to be an impact player, let him Impact.

If he'd have earned more reps, he'd be getting them. Clearly the coaches see areas that he still needs to work on. He'll go in when he's ready.

Believe one of the staff writers did a report on him during camp. Their assessment at the time was that he might make it into a couple sub packages by mid to later 1/3rd part of the season. That was before the injury which I’m guessing set that back a bit. Based on pre season it looked more like mid season next year. Don’t get your hopes up!
No know there was no pre-season games last season, but Diggs struggled badly for the 1st half of the season. Joseph will also have growing pains, but hopefully continues to get better with more reps and experience.

What're your beliefs based off of?
He is a 2nd pick, where many analysts had the belief he was a 1st rd talent that fell due to off the field issues. Point is, he is a very talented player that can succeed pretty quickly if he puts in the work. We have no idea if he has the want to as of yet.

Yes worked in here or there sure why not let him play inside for Lewis and outside for Browns on occasion..get his feet wet in real games..

he actually played better in pS then some gave him credit for he was pushed off of a lot with no calls and some good players like Kirk beat him but he was in position a lot..

just like many being wrong on Steele and TY buy PS play, remember this isn't ps these are game plans and specific roles for all players..they play better mixed in the starter groups then with all the rookies and spares etc etc
He shown flashes during camp, but struggled with consistency, which is common for a rookie player. He will have some up and down play, but hopefully gets better as the season progresses. Do I expect him to surplant Brown as the starter right now? No, but the hope is, is hopefully does at some point in the future. Give him the reps and see if he progresses. Many forget, we are 1 injury away from 1 of these kids have to start, unless you feel confident in Canaday who has struggled in limited snaps on the outside.

Clearly both Kazee, Kearse see the lion share of safety snaps, but the likes of Hooker and now Wilson are playing in certain packages, would like to see the same treatment with Kelvin Joseph at the corner position. Get his feet wet in a few sub-packages and allow him to gain the experience he sorely lacks. I believe Joseph will make an impact at some point this season.

For me, just play him instead of Canady at the end of games when we have a big lead.

I don't think anyone realizes that he will be starting by the end of the season and probably our best corner.... He is a big game player
he will shine when the lights are brightest.
Do you really think he's better than Diggs?

Thanks for Sharing ...

While i would like Joseph to be implemented to get some kind of significant playing time this year .. i'm afraid that he's missed too much time on the field to make ground. .
i'd be concerned that he is not prepared and adjusted to the NFL game to receive anything more than dime packages.

- At this point i am certainly not targeting him to replace Anthony brown as a starter THIS year ....Brown whom i still see him as average- decent and i worried that come playoff time vs Rodgers, Brady, Murray he's gonna be cooked toast to hurt our chances ...

- The lack of loss time and game experience has hurt Joseph - because he is so green i don't think he would fair any better than Brown, much less Jourdan Lewis - i think Boss man Fats is more next year's project and target when he's had a full offseason, more OTAs, camp and preseason time. more adjusted to nuiscances of the NFL .

- On another note, another rookie CB and high rd pick ..., Unlike Jospeh, Wright has been healthy but it's looking like a back seat this year too,
....i believe i've only saw him in mop up duty vs NYGiants.

- Of the rookies only the DL group with Osa and Gholston seems far more likley to see top time .. .the rookie CBs will be taking a back set this year.

I suspect that will be determined by what he does on the practice field
Got to earn reps when you are in a playoff hunt
It’s different when your season is all but over like last tear

Could be right, about being more of a 2022 option as it's hard to integrate during the season. He has to earn time on the field and hopefully he can at least play in some dime packages to start. However, one injury could alter those plans in a hurry.

Question is, will the front office be confident in their future prospects not to address the need in the offseason? I think corner will not be a big priority, unless Joseph/Wright show little the rest of the season.

This will likely be a redshirt year from Joseph. If he gets playing time, it will be in spot duty.
We're not going to throw him out there to get skid marks. He's simply not ready.
