@gavindawson@WALKDOWNSSS@1053thefan@1053SS@rjchoppy@BobbyBeltTX I could be wrong here— but my guess is that he will be playing in the slot on 1st down in a “Big Nickel”. It gets him in the action and closer to the LOS. On 2nd/3rd & long is when we see him play a more traditional safety role.
@gavindawson@1053thefan@1053SS@rjchoppy@BobbyBeltTX Furthermore, he can do everything really well. Sure he’s not as big as Kyle Hamilton so he perhaps can’t fit the run quite as well— but he can cover better than Hamilton. And he’s a chess piece. That’s just one example.
@gavindawson@1053thefan@1053SS@rjchoppy@BobbyBeltTX He played field safety aka deep safety. When you’re in the right position the QB just doesn’t throw it. In Bama Saban defense he played all over. Saban has been on record saying Downs is one of his All time faves. The few other Bama players hes said that about were pro bowlers
@JohnOwning I know it’s still early in preseason but I’m curious to know what you make of Dallas situation on the backend— Julius Wood was outstanding Saturday and offers some special teams upside as well— whose the odd man out? Alijah Clark? Bell? Dallas keeps one less CB?
@Andrew85Dachs@VochLombardi What did he do to make you think he didn’t play well? His best play was chasing down a screen in the 1st quarter. Dallas run D was iffy early and tightened up as the game wore on. I was impressed with the LBs last night
@JohnOwning He fits better actually. OSA is literally a 3-4 DE. Playing 3 tech in a 4 man front he was always an oddball in the scheme. Eventhough he produced significant amounts at times
@JohnOwning@TheHonestNFL How does this impact DO and his strengths? He seemed like he’s a get it and go type of guy who thrives coming downhill and using his athleticism— especially as a lighter LB.
@JohnOwning Yep. Schotty a very good playcaller and had been doing his thing all game, but when we need it the most, he called B2B terrible play calls.
@iSniffTrout @DraftDay365 @PeteThamel I’ll be a clown. You a crackhead. I don’t give a damn about Bama or UT. I actually hate Bama…. But you smoking something laced if you think UT is the same level as Bama. I’m not a fan of Deboer. I think he will struggle. But that’s not the point of this debate. lol
@iSniffTrout @DraftDay365 @PeteThamel Yea so what if they have the “resources”? There are 20 programs that have all have elite resources. That doesn’t make them level But you smoking crack if you think UT and Bama on the same level. Bama has 6 chips in the last 13-14 years. How many UT got?
@KDMafia35 @AdamSchefter Kelce is arguably the best TE to ever play. Also played 2 less games & still had more yards. I can see the argument but 🤷🏼♀️
@lexiosborne@ShaneSobona@AdamSchefter Where do those numbers come from? Per PFF Sneed wasn’t even the best CB on his team. Sneed had a better PFF rating last year. 🤷🏾♂️
