Jeremy Cash

The draft season is picking up and Jesus Christ is it ever fuging weird to be in a position this late in the season where we're not looking forward to the draft hardcore. I ain't complaining though.

 

One of the needs this draft is a safety. Yeah Boston has looked good in his snaps he's played (both this year and last) and Kurt Coleman has looked like the biggest pro bowl snub (who cared tho superb owl). And despite The Silver Fox's improved (but still frustrating) play this year, he's a free agent who in all honesty, is unlikely to be resignrd, and if he is, his role will most likely be lessened. Still, 1) We don't know how Boston will look as a starter all 16 games and 2) Coleman will be a free agent after next year, and if he has a repeat year, he'll be a pricey one.

 

One thing Gettleman loves is planning for the future. One thing Ron loves is a physical in the box SS who can cover.

 

Meet Jeremy Cash, SS, Duke.

 

I've kept my eye on safteys for the last two years. And outside of guys like Karl Joeseph and and Jalen Ramsey no safety impressed me more than Cash.

 

He was listed at 6'2 at duke, but officially came in at 6'0, 212. Still not bad. Still great size to match up.

 

Originally an OSU Allum, he transfered in 2012 to Duke, where he sat out due to transfer rules, but in 2013 he came on strong with 121 tackles, 9.5 for a loss, 4 ints, 4 deflections, and 2 forced fumbles.

 

His next two seasons he was just as good. 2014, 111 tackles, 10.5 for q loss, seven breakups, 4 forced fumbles and 2 ints. This year he finished his career with 101 tackles, carrer high with 18 for w loss and 2.5 sacks. 3 fumbles and four passes broken up, but with no ints this season.

As indicated by his stats, he is a very physical safety who can tackle amazingly well and has the skills and ability to read and react to blitz and get into the backfield very well. Concerns lie in his ability to cover deep, and rightfully so, his eagerness to make plays in the backfield can be a double edged sword at times, but that's coachable, and early reports at the senior bowl say that he's wowed with his deep coverage and blitzing skills.

 

Comparisons are tricky, but to me he compares very favorably to Tyvon Branch, long time Raider and current Chief. Very good tackler and solid coverage skills. I can see comparisons to Kam Chancellor, due to them both being very hard hitting safteys, but to me, Cash is already a much better cover safety than Chancellor was coming out.

 

He could very well be sitting there at 31, and if he is, don't be surprised if we take him. We looked at Landon Collins very seriously last year, and Cash is much better than Collins in coverage, albeit he is still raw. With Boston and Coleman as the most likely starters, we could rotate him in on both running and passing situations as he betters his coverage skills, and use him in a very Deonne Bucannon esqe role, where I think his strength would be early on in his career.

 

Sure, we need other positions more, like DE and OT, but Gettleman has never taken need over BPA, and if Cash's stock continues to rise, he could very well be that.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
