Morris Claiborne

[LatinMind]

Now IDK if what we saw in the 2nd half of MO but im hoping. Alot of people were saying he was trash a waste of a pick, but ill remind you people that this is his 2nd yr. Anybody remember Patrick Petersons first yr? The guy was bad. He wasnt the player he is today. Not even close.

People bashed him for say that this team played too much zone. But fans scream that every sunday this yr. And yet them same fans bash Mo for saying it. The guy clearly knows what he's doing and saying.

He was playing some bad technique this yr. But it seems like he got more aggressive and played better technique and Manning went in other directions. MO was a true shut down CB last sunday in the 2nd half. Now IDK if we get to see more of that this coming week, but it was good to see he's capable of shutting very good wr's down.

I hope Henderson and the DEF staff can have an open ear to the players. That sometimes players know whats working and not working in the scheme.

He'll be solid if we continue to play press. I love the idea of a 4-3 with Morris and Carr pressing man.

I was highly critical of his play before the Denver games because of the premium we payed to get him. Now I'm just going to be patient. He hurt his shoulder and there was so much space between him and receiver which I found appalling. Although the interception was under thrown cause let's face it manning doesn't have that zip on deep balls anymore. I do hope it boosts his confidence and leads him to demonstrate in future games the talent the front office drafted him for. Get healthy and get after it Mo.

I think that he came to LSU as a wr. Then after his freshman year, switched to cb. So I thought he was raw when we drafted him. I've been hard on him, but yes it's a game by game process. Let's hope.

It was slightly underthrown but he went up and high pointed the ball and kept it from reaching the wr.

He got an interception that Peyton threw straight to him. .... other than that he was getting roasted all day again.....

God. Here we go

Maybe my memory is bad, but I thought Peterson had a pretty good rookie season. He had 5 touchdowns and was selected as an All Pro.

Morris Claiborne is not a good football player. Sadly.

Special teams. Sucked on defense.

Guy just isn't very good.

He was in perfect position for the the int and played great the second half when we want more press. Try actually watching the games.

You are wrong.

 

[Section446]

You are wrong.

I bet he tears it up for you in Madden.

Not to split hairs, however, I believe Peterson was an All-Pro return guy his rookie season. As a corner, he had his ups and downs -- he wasn't a shutdown corner by any measure, however, his incredible athleticism popped off the charts and was obvious to anybody who watched him.

He had more picks his rookie year than Mo has had in over a year. Not to mention, Peterson was a monster last year.

This response doesn't make sense on any level. I know you see people use "Madden" on this board, but I don't think you quite grasp the context.

 

[SportsGuru80]

When you trade up in the several slots in the 1st round to acquire a player you expect him to be dynamic especially in his 2nd year... Unfortunately Claiborne hasn't been close to that for the Cowboys.

 

[jwitten82]

And Peterson showed flashes in his rookie year why he was a top pick, Claiborne didnt and still hasnt shown much.

 

[Hoofbite]

Mo's in his 2nd year......anyone remember Peterson as a rookie........that's what I thought.

lol
