You have a source for that, or is that a baseless claim?
I come in here with stats and links, where's yours to prove all he does is cover 5 yard routes?
But it's funny to see you move the goalposts right away.
First, he couldn't cover, and now it's "easy" to cover 5 yard dump offs.
"Adams does it all on the Jets' defense. In 2019 alone, he played 75 or more snaps at edge defender, in the box, in the slot and deep at free safety, and he did it all well. Adams has earned grades of 75.0 or higher as a run defender, tackler, pass-rusher and coverage defender in each of the past two seasons — at times even serving as the Jets' best edge rusher."

He plays in more positions than just a box safety, and when he's there he's a legit playmaker.
In the last two seasons, Adams has played 889 snaps in the box (42.7%), 578 snaps at free safety (27.8%), 303 snaps in the slot (14.5%), 234 snaps on the line of scrimmage (11.2%) and 74 snaps at outside cornerback (3.5%), grading well at each spot.
I mean, look at that 5 yard dumpoff coverage.
Thank you for that effort.
I just really cant get over the "safeties don't matter" comments.
Theres players who make plays and players that dont. We have collected way too many of the latter.
