I know Marlon focuses on technique and getting through the receivers arms, but I wish he would look for the ball more.

I think he struggles pretty big time with body control. Idk if he can.
That said, it’s his only weakness, he’s essentially elite at all other things and he does a really great job sticking even the elite route runners through the whistle. That catch point thing is a pretty major deal but he’s still unquestionably elite

I don't know, with Marlon constantly MEG coverage and exactly zero help in the middle from LB's in hook zones or making effort to wall because they are being sent, Marlon is really up against it with receivers crossing his face and running away from him underneath at times. Difficult to hold up consistently with that much space in the middle.
He literally has the hardest job of basically any corner in the league - consistently asked to cover more space with less help than any other defender in the league
People see him get beat a couple of times and don’t take that context into account

And he's a freaking dude too
it will be interesting if he will be used the same way with Macdonald as DC. I'd assume he would be, but we won't know until the season starts.

We've had a S who couldn't play the ball. I'm really glad we didn't re-sign him.

Honestly without chase he still didnt look as good.. i wouldnt put aj terrell in top 5 though..its only been one good year for him
if he doing “ best cbs past season” i can understand but other than that, terrell and diggs shouldnt be there
tennis has been doing this shit since 2006... cricket since 2009... and football since 2017
NFL should have been doing this for a long time - and if they did it like how football does it, they wouldnt even need to have it be challenged, the system would be quick enough that it would be good enough in live play to let the refs know almost instantly

Wonder what he was he doing crossing an interstate at 6:30 in the morning? sad

In Miami Training with his teammates. Ran out of gas and got out to walk, got clipped.

I mean, I’m not second guessing him (actually I suppose I am) but why not call the team or AAA or a friend or your auto insurance co? Crack of dawn crossing a SOUTH FLORIDA highway that, from what I saw, had little to no median and no exits in sight. Tf was he thinking? How do you so poorly judge the distance and speed of a fuggin DUMP TRUCK? Would they have been partying until dawn?

I’m guessing that early on a Saturday, alcohol or drugs were involved. We’ve all done stupid shit, his shit cost him his life unfortunately.

That is a wide ass highway to be crossing. I personally would never even think about trying to cross any major highway but sure as hell not 595 with how bad drivers are here anyway. Thought this too but wasn't going to post.

Yea especially in FL, even more so in Ft Lauderdale with all the crazy drivers. 595 is 9 lanes at some points.
