Is Bland already a higher level than J Lewis?

[3rdEyewarrior]

I think so. I’ve never seen Lewis play at this level. Bland s a little faster and bigger. I think we have our 2nd or 3rd corner fir the next 4-7 years. Hopefully he can be as good in the outside.

 

[JBS]

Who is the third corner that you speak of?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Yes.

 

[Texas_Pete]

Would love for him to lock down the CB2 opposite Diggs. Rook has been ballin.

Off-topic: would also love a Byron Jones reunion if the Phins cut him loose this summer.

 

[Avery]

Yeah, I think so. Don’t see us cutting him nil next year as the position isn’t deep, but I think he’s best suited for the slot.

 

[stilltheguru]

If he keeps playing like this then obviously but he's still a nobody. Teams have no real tape of him and his tendencies.

 

[nightrain]

It would be great to have them both available to play.

Exactly I don’t care who is better I just wish both were available.

Injury prone Byron Jones? No thanks. Let’s draft a couple.

The real question:
Is Bland the best corner on the team?

I agree, Bland has been a real find!!!

Based on current level of play, yes.
Diggs has dropped off as the season has progressed.

His situation now is odd to say the least.

Had Achilles surgery in the offseason and was supposed to be ready for camp. He's still out.
Rumors of atrophy were going on.
Their secondary coach in December when asked about Jones told reporters to ask McDaniel for updates.

Dolphins are tight lipped on his status.

Easy yes, just wish KJ would have been the harder answer with Brown.

No he’s not
Fans under estimate how good Lewis is because ints is all they look at not actual coverage

 

[JW82]

And brown.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Bland is a ballhawk with better size, but at this point Lewis is more experienced and refined in coverage.

Bland has tremendous upside and will be great, but as of this moment we can't say he's better than a six year vet.

 

[erod]

Yes.

I've never been a fan of Lewis.

Oh yeah, it'll be Diggs and Bland next season.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

They have two different play styles and it really depends on what you prefer and how our team operates.

Bland is a gambler. He’ll get the interceptions, but he also allows big yardage when targeted moreso than Lewis.

Lewis is more of a Byron Jones lockdown type. He’ll get you and INT from time to time but he’s more likely to just shut down his side of the field/allow short yardage.


If our offense was more consistent and less accident prone, I’d prefer Bland’s type, which gives the ball back to a high powered offense. However, since our offense is inconsistent, we need more Lewis types that can shut down the field and give more TOP to the offense to keep the opposing offense off the field and with as little points as possible. It’s why we won so many games earlier in the season with Rush. Defense shut down opposing offenses, kept them off the field, and even though we didn’t score a lot of points, we dominated TOP and scored field goals and occasional touchdowns to win the game.
