Vontae

got to love the haters that come out even after a great road win against a good team. On a side note the best corners in the league cant cover Julio, I would say Davis did alright

I'm no hater. Just because I'm calling Vontae out? Vontae has been less than outstanding this year

Yeah forget all the passes to Julio that got them closer to the endzone

 

Julio is a beast.  I don't know why they didn't target him even more.  But the D held him without a score, that's impressive.

 

Hey, I remember the game where Marshall caught about 50 passes against us, but we won.  I'll take it anytime.

I was being sarcastic about him leaving the rest of the game due to the injury. However, not joking about Vontae getting worked and beat

The NFL's best star receivers should ALWAYS get the best of any DB they face, even the stud DBs. The great receivers always have the vig. Vontae held up as well as might be expected.

I hope the team is ready for Bucs on Sunday, these types of games seem to be the ones we always have a let down blow out game. A win here would be huge going into the Steelers game

The way Winston played today...yikes. could be a blow out against us if Vontae and Adams are out

Vontae has been just fine, you're not going to win every match-up but he wins most of them.  So saying he is less than outstanding is a far cry from reality.  There's also a ton more going on than just Julio, his responsibilities go far beyond that on other plays where he relies on inside or shallow help, or where he is matched up against someone else. Watch the whole game.

I was there and he only got beat twice by Julio.  The one deep pass and the one he had outside leverage on and it was thrown inside.  And on the deep pass, if Vontae didn't slip he would've made a play on the ball b/c it was underthrown.  Keeping a top 3 WR to 3 catches (when defended by Vontae) is not getting worked IMO.  Keeping him out of the end zone is not getting worked IMO.

I may be on my own with this, but I feel like just about every other game Vontae checks out of the game for a bit due to some sort of injury. I really like him so I'm not bashing him, maybe I'm crazy.. Or he really just doesn't have a high pain tolerance lol.

He's been injured a lot this year. Could explain why he's not playing as well as last year. Still by far our best CB though.

    • Agree with you on the draft takes.   For AR's season, I think mediocrity is what we should hope for( compared to other QBs). We should not forget,that this is basically his rookie season and he's still only 22. So if that would get us to 10-7.....HOORAY !
    • Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Holmes but he was old, still it was Holmes. Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)      
    • I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7. 
    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women. 
    • This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
