Tony Pauline: Cowboys may have hit a home run with Kaiir Elam

[rambo2]

That sounds pretty good to me. Maybe the light switch will get flipped on this summer and the Cowboys traded for a serviceable CB! Good article.

Bryan B. said the same thing.

He really struggled for Buffalo when their starting corner got another concussion in the playoffs and had to come out.

The Bills pretty much gave up on him.

Dallas at it again with another 1st round that can’t play.

We shall see.

He can play press coverage.

If any team can coach trash into gold, it's this team. Oh, wait...

I'm working on a film session for Kaiir Elam as we speak.

I can go off the multiple comments that some Bills fan made on some reddit saying he's a bust - or we can review his film together and do some critical thinking to see if Tony Pauline is correct.

Translation: I had him rated high when he was drafted.

I don't mind the trade. It's low-risk, so the reward could be high. The only thing I don't like is absolutely having to rely on a player that a team is willing to trade away like this. It isn't that we hope he succeeds, we need him to succeed. Teams that put themselves in that position often end up paying for it.

Eburflus plays mostly zone
Pauline is a year too late

Depend on the zone.

If it was cover 2 before and his issue was short area quickness underneath then it would help.

Cover 3 is similar to press/bail man. In some way's it is easier because you don't have to worry about the inside as much.

Eberflus plays base cover 3 and mixes in man.

I am very old fashioned and always favored Man to Man so I like this guy.

Yeah, I think they must see him as a good fit for Cover-3, where he's going to take his man in a matchup to the outside and release him to the zone on the inside if it is an in-breaking route. Where he may have trouble is with his zone responsibilities when he releases his receiver to the inside. He's got to pass off his man and then pick up the out-breaking route from an inside receiver who enters his zone.

He may be a Morris Claiborne clone. Wish they still did the wonderlic test. Doesn’t it require a little more between the ears to learn zone vs man?

a natural zone player versus a natural man player has nothing to do with intelligence
it is all about instincts and football sense

I'll just wait for Coogi to share his thoughts.

 

[Beaker42]

Sucks because I don't even like baseball!

Maybe we hit a touchdown???

 

[Coogiguy03]

It’s a thankless job. Careful what you wish for!

Free wheeling Coogs might find himself dragging his tail feathers in the dirt instead of going full peacock!

Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

 

[unionjack8]

Yeah this makes him a turd in Eberflus zone system

 

[exciter]

Said he struggled in zone coverage, but we play a lot of Man coverage, does he not know who our D Coordinator is now??

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that!

What makes the player a natural in either coverage? Doesn’t the zone require covering more areas on the field vs covering a particular player? It would seem to me your brain would have to make more and quicker decisions in zone. Much like the speed a QB goes through his reads and progressions. Instincts are directly related to brain activity.

no, instinct has nothing to do with your intelligence
and bluntly speaking some not so smart types are able to process things quickly
you are mistaking IQ with intelligence.
for example, look up the term idiot savant

You are totally wrong and need to go directly to google. Throwing out idiot savant has nothing to do with this. You didn’t answer two questions I ask?
