Is this a knee jerk overaction ?. We haven't even seen the guy play yet in full live action games .
We dunno what they could be working with him technique wise, that better improves his positioning and footwork,, his turn and go, reaction
and drive on the ball, and how he locates the ball in the air.
Do we think 5th round draftee Richard Sherman was instantly ready to go with his quick-twitch, and fluidity when he entered the NFL for Seattle ?
That took some time doing.
We dunno if the flaws lack of technique and positioning is something that can be work out in just one limited training camp and a couple preseason games.
That could take some time doing.
Could I be wrong?
It's quite possible. It happens to the best of us.
I'm just calling it the way I see it. Generally speaking, the only corner I've seen with his build have success was Ryan McNeil.
To me, he strikes me as the kind of flex player you're talking about as well. Like I said, I could be wrong. The games I've seen him play in lead me to believe he's more of a safety. I guess we'll see what he looks like as an NFL corner soon enough.
He should get some time in there tonight.
As far as Sherman, and let's say Diggs, for example... with those guys it's evident, to me, at least, that they are your prototypical cover CB, because of their quickness and instincts, etc. were more obvious early on, in college.
Sure, it could be developed, and I'm not trying to diminish anything. I like the player. And I'm not dissing on him by saying he's strikes me as a safety.
