Mo Claiborne

[CATCH17]

Better late than never but it looks like we may finally be getting some return on investment.

He has looked really good this year.


How about our pass rush today as well? Ryan Davis, McClain, and Lawrence really looked good..

 

[Sasquatch]

Mo looks confident. Admire his determination & mental fortitude. Happy for him as he seems like a decent guy.

We're actually not getting any ROI. Claiborne was a free agent. The only sense that you could consider getting ROI here is that because we drafted him, he has knowledge of our system, but he is not on a rookie contract, there is no ROI here.

those two tipped saving td receptions were beautiful...especially the one late in the game...he had major vertical on that one.

 

[Proximo]

Our defense in general has been better than most expected. Our secondary is legit and actually generating a pass rush today will boost confidence for sure.

He did hold Green for a second but awesome pass deflection otherwise.

 

[TheCount]

I'm pretty sure the Bengals offensive line is one of the worst in the league, but Claiborne has certainly been playing well so far this year. I really wonder what finally clicked.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

He is playing with some confidence right now and perhaps free of pressure of being a first round pick. Expectations are lower for him now and no one is looking at him to be a shutdown corner.

 

[Derinyar]

AT this point Mo is playing like a CB1. Seems faster and more physical then he has been. I'm guessing its because he was healthy during the off season for the first time in basically for ever.

We invested a lot of coaching and effort into his development, it's paying off. Investment doesn't have to be financial.

Even if they are, I enjoyed it. Was nice to see pressure and guys winning battles out there.

 

[JBell]

Lesson learned: Don't pay a heavy price for two man cover CB's and make them play Cover 2.

 

[Texas_Pete]

Mo will have his hands full next week if we don't get to Rodgers. Rodgers footwork as a passer to allude the rush is phenomenal.

Yea, he's healthy and his head is right. It's showing up big time in his level of play. Breaking up that TD pass after being penalized twice on that drive was telling. He looks really good right now.

Just don't get hurt again. When is Scandrick coming back?

Day to day

 

[CATCH17]

Just don't get hurt again. When is Scandrick coming back?

lol let's him rest.. Our 5th round pick looks pretty good.


Imagine how great this draft could be if Jaylon Smith recovers fully?

Most preseason publications had them ranked 2nd or 3rd best in the NFL.

 

[mattjames2010]

I've criticized Mo for his vertical jump in the past and how he's gotten beat on jump balls, like in the Bears game. But that TD save tipped pass was quite something.
