Superman Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=119845&draftyear=2016&genpos=SShttp://draftbreakdown.com/players/jeremy-cash/ Playmaker. Excellent burst and closing speed, great blitzer, gets a TON of pressures and does a decent job of getting off blocks, good job playing ball carriers in the open field and breaking down to make the tackle, decent awareness, extra nosy and likes to get behind the line of scrimmage and get involved in the play, can knife through traffic to get to the ball carrier, he has a knack for poking the ball away when he arrives at the play, and he arrives with authority and presence; I don't think much of his coverage skills, but he's mostly used in short area zone; he has really good agility and sufficiently loose hips for a safety, but his footwork is questionable and he takes some bad angles; you'll see him make a ton of plays from his knees, as he dips under blockers but stays alert to the play; I don't think he has adequate turn and run speed to handle receivers one on one or the range to patrol the back end. Would be a good Robber, especially against running QBs. Using Dustin's format for grading (and I reserve the right to adjust these after draft workouts):Size: 6'1", 208 (approx, listings vary), since he's mostly a box safety, he's a little on the light side, 4/5Athleticism: I question his long speed and range, but he flies around and his 10 yard burst is top notch, 8/10Fluidity/agility: Turns corners and twists around with ease, but footwork is sloppy at times, and hip flip is just okay, 7/10Physicality: No question about this, you know when he's in the play, and so does everyone else, 10/10Technical ability: Questionable here, he relies more on his athleticism than any refined technique, and the coaches seem to just cut him loose, 5/10Run game/tackling: No complaints, he'll miss a tackle against a shifty runner (Duke Johnson), but he usually breaks down well and ends the play, 4/5Ball skills: More likely to run through the receiver than make a play on the ball, 2/5Consistency: There are games from 2013 to 2015 on DraftBreakdown, and I'm watching Duke v BC right now, and Mr. Cash always looks the same, even after a bad play, 5/5Grade: 45/60, 1st round pick NFL Comparison: TJ McDonald, STL (I'm bad at comparisons, by the way.) Reminds me of a more explosive Landon Collins or Clayton Geathers, but not as big as either of them. He might run a slow forty and fall down some boards, and while his short area speed and burst are elite, I don't think he can open up and run like the really good deep safeties (Earl Thomas, Eric Berry). Fit with Colts: Cash can play in any front in run support, and will make plays. The current Colts staff likes to use strong safeties as nickel backers, in a lot of man coverage against TEs and slot receivers, including off man coverage. Cash doesn't do a lot of that, and I don't think he has the mirror ability or the technical coverage skills to hold up in man coverage in the pros. 3/5 Edited October 4, 2015 by Superman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defjamz26 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Good write up. Are you going to run through the other safeties too? The safety class looks really deep for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltsman1788 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Cash is the best player and heart & soul of that Duke defense. He stands out. He is very fast and provides an excellent pass rush on the blitz. Runs QBs down from behind if he has to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Good write up. Are you going to run through the other safeties too? The safety class looks really deep for once. I'm just watching some random guys right now, and he jumped out at me. More than anything else, this is for me to save my notes, but I figured I would share. I don't have a plan to do any particular players, but I'll be sure to take a look at the safeties for sure. I was also going to do a "scheme fit" section for each player I watch, but I wonder if that's a waste. Our schemes might change if the coaching staff changes.

indyspeed13 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Cash is the truth. will probably have a rough 1 or 2 years but he will develop into an exceptional football player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvturner Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Have you watched any DeForest Buckner film? Would love to see a write up on him, and great work on Cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defjamz26 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Have you watched any DeForest Buckner film? Would love to see a write up on him, and great work on Cash.He's not any better or worse than Armstead. He's the same prospect essentially. I don't see him as a 1st rounder.

Superman Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Cash really likes to hit. He's really, really good in the box and on the edge, taking on blockers. And he likes to hit. I like him if he's just allowed to fly around and hit people, but I really don't think he can cover anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a more traditional box SS type of guy anyways. None of our current safeties are good tacklers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defjamz26 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Your box safety has to play coverage.Short-mid range coverage for sure. But I don't think he would need to be able to play single high or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think he would need to be able to play single high or anything like that.TEs and slot receivers in man coverage. I think he can play single high. I don't know if he has the range, but he comes downhill aggressively. It's the box coverage responsibilities that I think he would be bad at.

He's flashed big play potential since pre-season. I think he had 1 FF this season too. He just needs more development.But we need a real middle of the field enforcer.
