Discussing our 2nd pay picks.

Can two rookie corners equal one Josh Norman? Well, actually, yeah – sort of. Obviously, it doesn’t work that way. But the point: Carolina’s scheme puts very little burden on its cornerbacks. Not only is it zone-based and extremely well-constructed when blitzes are called, but with heady, rangy linebackers Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, the zone windows that DB’s are asked to defend naturally shrink. Bradberry is said to be a “developmental guy.” In this system, a guy’s development can take place on the field, it doesn’t have to be from the safety of the bench. Worley does not have highly regarded speed. But in this system, with those smaller zone windows and natural help-coverage principles, that’s not the end of the world. This, by the way, explains why GM Dave Gettleman felt he needn’t break the bank for Norman.

Umm how about how the pass rush is going to be much better (nearly 2013 level) and even with Josh leaving this is the youngest group of DBs Rivera has had, and it has more potential than any previous.. and by the way literally all of them are known for ballhawking.
