When he was playing CB (b/c that's what people are looking at and he wouldn't be a PR on the Colts), he showed great tackling skills and good field vision. He just had 2 or 3 bad plays against Lance Louis, who is a great deep ball receiver. His instincts need a little help just by watching that video, but that's something that people questioned when they looked at Vontae Davis and Jimmy Smith. Look at how they turned out.

This video wasn't impressive, but it didn't hurt him at all. He's still a very good cornerback and you did not prove anything by showing us this video.

Are you saying people should be concerned because he isn't invincible? If you want to see concerning, pull some video of Janoris Jenkins getting abused by Alshon Jeffrey.

I was referring to physical pushing him around. My point was the size mismatch you get with Janoris Jenkins.

....Darrel Revis is 5'10-5'11 and he does fine most of the time? Does he get beat sometimes by 6'3-6'4 WRs when it comes to physicality every now and then? Yea, but it still doesn't take away that he wins most of the battles.

Gilmore plays 10 yards of his man. If you watch South Carolina,they play a very Unorthodox, run defense heavy scheme. Antonio Allen is basically a LB in that scheme, which is he will be draft low, and Gilmore play 10 yards of his man, usually giving a extra 3 yards as the play starts.

How physical can you be from 13 yards away. I seen 1 good jam by him in all the tape I've watched.

Yep. Those under 6 foot, under 200lb CBs are always useless because of a size mismatch.

I've seen over a dozen people write and say, this 5-11 corner is too small, or this 200 pound corner is to small. 5-11 is the average height buddy. It's rare to get a talented corner over 6 feet. 5'7 and 5'8, i'd understand your concern, but 5'10 is fine.

Those jump balls, to 6'5 recievers, there only 1 guy I know that could defend those and it was Charles Woodson. Now unless there is a Charles Woodson available when Jenkins is around, I'd just relax if I were you.

Why is it that when a very tall reciever is not good enough to make it as a reciever he is not chosen to play defense? Why are they all 5'10"? I think Hail Mary's were invented because there are no tall secondary people anywhere!! Splain!

A taller player is less able to make quick breaks due to a higher center of gravity and finds it more difficult to keep up with a WR since they have to react instead of drive the action like a WR does.

Every corner gets beat one time or another. Its not really news, even revis gets beat you can pull up every player in college football and i'm sure they have made a bad play now and then. There is no reason to crucify him off game tape you just thought made him look like the worst corner you apperently have ever seen.

He may go Top 15 pick, so don't expect him to be there when we pick in round 2. It's not about what we think of the player, it's about what the Front Office of teams thinks about them and how they fit into the teams plans/scheme.

      Key season for Braden Smith

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      The entire Oline was bad in 22. Maybe Pinter would be ok at guard with a new head coach and OLINE coach. I don’t think you can take much away from 22. It was just bad.

      Indy 500 who you picking ?

      By RollerColt · Posted

      I honestly thought he had it entering turn 2 on the final lap. He was nearly 3 car lengths ahead. So damn close. I feel for him and for you!    I grew up in a family of Andretti supporters (I was the odd one who also like Foyt), so imagine my disbelief when Michael allowed his son to take the flag only to have Sam Hornish Jr. snatch it all away at the last second…    Maybe Pato will have a Sato like Renaissance?

      Pato has been my favorite driver for a couple of years now. I got to experience this 500 almost fully. I was at almost every practice, I had a badge to get back in the garage, and I saw the race from an entirely different perspective for it.    The 5 team has had plenty of problems since the de-facto win in St. Pete. Those problems haven’t stopped all month. His car was snappy loose all month, and even during the race. I’ve told all my racing friends that Rossi was the best McLaren and he had the best shot. I expected Pato to run around the 7-10 range Sunday. He spent the first 2/3 of the day back in the 13-16 range and I thought it was a lost cause. When he cycled up front and came alive late, I couldn’t believe it. He's such a savvy racer in this race. He reminds me of Dale Earnhardt at a SS. He just knows where to go with his car when he needs to go. It’s like he senses the air and how to navigate it perfectly.    I sat over in T4. Dead center of the turn. 5th row. By the time they entered T3 I could turn my head from the big screen across the track and see them exit.    Watching Newgarden pass Pato on the outside in T3 coming to the checkers is something I’ll never forget. It was emotionally draining for me as a fan and 2 days later it’s still like my dog ran away or something. I even accidentally turned my phone on in my hand and recorded my own reaction to it. You can see me scream “NO!” As Newgarden went outside and then immediately turn to see them coming though 3. It’s salty language so if GDs and F bombs aren’t for you, I suggest not watching. 😬     When it was over I sat down, and looked at the guy I was with and said “I haven’t been this emotionally overloaded by sports since 4th and 2” and he knew just what that meant because he was sitting next to me that night as well.    I just hope someone checked out Newgarden’s software after the race. Make sure they didn’t convince themselves of any new rules or anything. 🤔

      Key season for Braden Smith

      By Superman · Posted

      I don't know if they handed him the job, but yeah, the OL depth in 2022 was severely lacking. I have always viewed Pinter as a center only, so starting him at guard wasn't my favorite decision. He started the first three games, then got benched. Ryan Kelly got hurt in Week 5 vs the Broncos, so Pinter finished that game, but didn't play more than five offensive snaps the rest of the season. So however they reached the decision to make him the opening day starter, at least they moved off that idea pretty quickly.   I think there have been far more egregious and more consequential decisions, by the way. Scott Tolzien in 2017 immediately comes to mind.
