Look dude he didn't tackle well towards the end of last year and I believe he had a reason for it,Guy doesn't tackle. Paid way too much. Sorry I know people will not agree.
after we lose brown and lose Lewis and our backfield was in shambles for a while scrambling trying to find guys who can play,
he had a hand that was hurt and I believe he was playing a little tentative because I think he didn't want to end up getting knocked out of these games late in the season.
Saying he's paid way too much when he's paid market value for a dude who's actually considered top ten right now and projected if he keeps improving which he has each year he's giving up less yards he's being thrown at less because quarterbacks are afraid to throw at him...
he's always looking to make a big play, so he's not a guy being paid for what he's done up to this point, I believe he's going to improve even more...
now that he's gotten paid he can relax and just play more instinctual just go out and be the player he is. Just about every big contract around here is being say that it's overpaid.
I mean there aren't many guys who got paid where this place was really happy about it and giving the guy congratulations let's see how this plays out over the next three seasons then we can judge it.
but he is a top ten corner there is no debate that you can make to make him less than top 10 and it is debatable whether he is moving into the top five.
he has that potential and in order to keep a guy like that you have to pay him market money that is the NFL. you would rather have some scrub should we put Anthony Wright over there??? I mean who on this team has that reputation to scare a quarterback and play cover one with very little help and then looking at last year what happened with all the injuries with our DB's??
I mean who won this teams taking his place are you saying we should go into the draft next year and hope that a corner even on his level falls to us and then use a another first round pick on a player we already have here??
But again on the no tackling thing neither did Deion Sanders and by the way Diggs while not a great tackler before those last five or six games last year actually was not afraid to contact,
that is not something he has a reputation for doing it was just seemed like a little stretch where he was tentative so don't say the guy doesn't tackle when most cornerbacks are not known for tackling it's clouding Deion Sanders you know the business decision, he made famous by saying that.
