ZONERS: 2nd rd CB cut... do we want him?

[TheCount]

WWMD?

Mick wouldn't want to sign him. Mick doesn't want to sign anyone or see anyone start over anyone else. He always thinks whatever we have going now, is the best thing and hates to see change.

He was against signing Tank, he was against playing Romo when we had Bledsoe, the guy hates change.

Selected by Pittsburgh SteelersRound 2, pick 6

I see this and think... its an omen....a CB - "pick 6"

NEGATIVES: Started off very slowly at the Senior Bowl and seemed confused against a higher level of competition.

Then I see this and I think..... Wow... more of the same... add another confused guy the mix of already confused guys.

Will need time to mentally adjust at the next level but can be a starting for a team by the late part of next season.

Then I wonder.... can he? adjust, that is?

Sorry, you haven't been around long enough to get it.

Exactly. It wouldn't hurt to bring him in. If he didn't work out cut him. No loss.

agreed, can't be any worse

Surely he could be an upgrade over Nate.

Nate Jones isn't bad on ST and he is by far the best blitzing CB we have. While we don't blitz CBs much, it's a nice thing to have. I'm not sure what his actually numbers are, but I believe he has a sack and a QB pressure in either 2 or 3 blitzing attempts this season.

Put him and nate on the grill and see who does better and keep that one. Sure could not hurt. BP liked to churn the roster- usually came up with some useful guys.

Nate Jones on special teams don't concern me, but Nate Jones in coverage especially with injuries to our #1 and #2 Cb's is like watching the Exorcist as a 7 year old.........

This guy is not smart but, he is a lights out athlete. If you put him in a position where you isolate him on a WR and just have him play man up on that guy, I think you could probably have some success. He gets into trouble when he has to think about what he's doing. That's bad. I think he would be worth bringing in but don't expect him to be a guy who can work in a complex defensive scheme. Let him do what he can do. That's cover straight up. In the NFL, that alone is a pretty big draw. I'd probably bring him in.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I live in Pgh and have watched him his entire career. He flat out stinks. Bad things happen when he plays, like a punt hitting him in the head. He was a small school player-drafted too high-project. And he has a career-threatening neck injury. No thanks.

 

[StanleySpadowski]

His name is pronounced "Coakley".

So we should sign him just to be trade bait.
