yeah, agree entirely. starting to think ozze just goes with mel kiper and Alabama connections. kipper somehow had humpf rated the number 2 corner. we had so many choices when we took him too. the negatives are outstanding. obviously he's ok if he keeps the play in front of him, that's why we may get residual value at safety, but being the last line of defense with him is not a good position either.
like what?
like who?

He can't cover receivers using OPI, duh.
Yup, that's a skill that can't be taught indeed, well done.
Instincts bro. He simply doesnt know when to get his head around nor does he ever anticipate when the ball will be thrown! When i start seeing him jump routes thats when i will give him credit for improvement! Im not like most people here who hype guys up cause of one good game. Only thing that matters is consistency. getting one cvg sack or one int thrown directly to you doesnt make you a future star

Lol he does jump routes. How do you think he breaks up passes before they're caught or blows up screens before they break 1 yard?
You can't argue with ignorance. Don't bother.

I can't tell who are people replying to but it's quite entertaining watching the procession
I wish I could block some people, but being a mod I can’t do that. Lol
Thats ignorance ? Seeing things differently? You are the same people who thought flacco was gonna some how be a good qb this year lol. The same ones who thought twest was gonna be able to carry the load. People were even saying that weddle and jefferson were better than earl and kam lol. So is that considered ignorance too? Or is it that most people here are blinded by their fandom?
Oh, youre talking about the raiders game when everytime the ball was caught on him it was directly in his face lol cmon man.
If you can quote me on any of that, I'll admit I was wrong, but good luck.
And it's not ignorance to see things differently; it's ignorance to see things completely wrong essentially for the sake of dissent.
The only corner who had more instincts than Humph was Conley. Quincy was up ther too. But that's it. Instincts is one of Humphrey's most underappreciated aspects.

Yeah after blatant push offs, something Crabtree is known for.
as proven by TNF vs the chiefs last night

His pushoff cost them the super bowl lol. If he left jimmy alone and didn't engage the contact and then shove him to the ground with a double stiff arm to the facemask, then jimmy gets an easy holding call there.
He was getting chest to chest with Humphrey and fucking benchpressing him, 2 hands full extension shoving him back multiple yards. I still don't understand how he didn't have every catch called back against Humphrey

Like i said after watching further film and seeing humphrey in the first few games this year, he's going to be a v.good corner in this league. Will he be a special all pro type? probably not BUT he's def worthy of a few pro bowls. Like i said, he reminds me of carlos rodgers.
He's well in the prince amukamara, carlos rodgers, jimmy smith bracket
he's a good player. Like i said, this isn't matt elam or perriman.

Most teams had Humphrey as their #1 or #2 ranked corner. He wasn't as high on analysts' boards throughout the process. I don't see negatives at all yet to his play... He has played shut down all season thus far. The 2-3 catches that Crabtree had on him were all push offs and likely would've been called in other games. Crabtree is one of the most physical receivers in the league and knows how to get away with pushing.
