2018 Secondary

I'm not worried about the secondary. Probably should be but Ozzie put together a good group. Not many teams will lose 2/3's of their starting cbs and do well. The biggest loss to really making a run might have been Young. Was never a big fan of the Jefferson move and it's showing why now. Safety early wouldn't surprise me next draft, BUT WE BETTER GODDAM GO OFFENSE.
 
Quenton Nelson could be in play if we finish 8-8. Would probably need to trade up ahead of the bengals who WILL select him if he falls to them.

Kinda worried about Weddle going forward. Too many holes to fill next year though to worry about saftey. ILB next to CJ needs to be a priorty.

Agreed. We most def need a younger FS and a cvg LB. i honestly dont know why we didnt go after zach brown or bowman

i think we will get a WR in a FA just to be safe

i guess thats one. We've never ever drafted an LSU guy though, which is pretty bad, taking into account they have had the best success rate in this league for the past 14 years

I really would have strongly considered a trade back and landed Tre White, but at the same time, I was stoked for Humphrey and really wouldn't trade him for White.

The way I see it is that if Marlon breaks out as a #1 next season(very possible) and Tavon Young returns to form as a damn good slot CB, all Jimmy has to be is a good #2. I don't think that's too much to ask of the guy even coming off that injury. That said, I am still of the opinion that we should acquire another CB just in case the worst happens.

That could lead to the potential for Weddle and Jefferson to essentially do whatever the fuck they want.

As much as this thread has jinxed us, this secondary could be legit. The actual best case scenario for next season is that

1. Jimmy somehow returns to form immediately coming off the achilles.
2. Marlon develops into a #1
3. Young comes back and plays very well.
4. Everyone stays healthy for the whole season

This scenario is obviously unlikely but if it happens we will literally be impossible to throw against in general.

That's asking for a lot, but it would be great

2 and 3 are pretty possible. 4 is most likely not going to happen. Achilles tears are super difficult to predict how well the player will recover. My guess is he sits all of the preseason and practices minimally in training camp. Probably won't know what Jimmy smith we're getting until week 5.

looks like the lions game was the aberration not the rest of the season

As a guy who thinks that Marlon is going to be a #1 corner sooner rather than later...

I'd say that he still needs significant improvement deep. As much shit as we are giving Carr right now. I don't know if Humphrey still would have shut the dude down in the fourth quarter.

Don't get me wrong.. There are certain players you look at, even with a small sample size, and you know that they're going to be a good player. Humphrey is certainly one of them... But I wouldn't say that Detriot was an aberration just yet.

I'm the opposite, I never saw it with hodges but I remember you raving about him, meanwhile I was adamant that Ford was gonna be good, I don't understand his struggles, he appeared to have great sharpness to his route tree despite not being asked to run many routes, and he seemed to have good enough speed and hands.

Hasn’t ford been on IR all season or am I thinking of someone else?
 
I really really like Canady. I really want to see how he would do starting outside. I honestly think he can be a good #2 CB and with Tavon coming back and Hill we don’t need to really look at bringing in another CB. Maybe keep Carr for depth
