I remember how stoked everybody was a few years ago when our top 3 corners were Awuzie, Brown and Lewis. Then Garrett screwed up and brought it that Seahawks reject coach Kris Richard in and ruined everything. What did Richard accomplish? Turning Byron Jones into an over-achiever at the expense of the rest of the secondary? Really? Watch Jones flop in Miami.
McCarthy came in and figured out that our secondary situation was mismanaged and poorly coached more than it was about some talent deficiency. Of course, safety is a different matter. Trade up in the second round if we have to and get the McKinney kid.
But like I said, the CBs are just fine.
did you ever consider that if Jones flops in Miami, it will be because he doesnt have Richard no longer in his corner and Miami's current coaches may mis-scheme him and under coach him.
Jones has always had it in his physical tools and measurements to be a very good bump press man coverage CB,..and that's what the better coaches do ..and worst coaches don't do
but we had the wrong coaches before Richard arrived, that could not place him in the best position to excel. past coaches determined to keep him as a FS safety who was lost in space and zone coverage and a subpar support tackler.
A player with that kind of awesome physical measurements and athleticism is not an "overachiever" That's why he was selected in the first round.
