It a corner has speed and fluid hips with good burst he can be taught to play man or zone. Rarely do teams use one or the other exclusively. Even McDermotts zone shells often required corners to play man on the outside so honestly the whole he is a zone corner and can't play man is often not that accurate.  Truth is most guys who are designated as primary zone corners lack the athleticism or technique seen in guys considered good press man corners or a shut down guy. 

Seymour has decent size and good speed to play in our scheme and he is a decent special teamer. He is clearly not ready to start over Worley and is clearly not our best or even our third best corner but he is young and has a reputation out of college as a tough guy although somewhat injury prone.

This sounds like a very fair assessment.  At this point the only thing I feel comfortable in saying is that this season is that Seymour as a rotational corner  will get more snaps and playing time than Clay would have as a panther.  We didn't get a pro bowler but this is an upgrade at a position in need.   I'll take it.

I don't see him being a starter.

I know that'll disappoint some.

You realize where you're posting, right?  Half the board thinks we just got an all-pro cornerback for a 7th and a guy who walked in off the street.

Only issue is how he isn't a zone corner, lacking the physicality and length for the job. He's a bad scheme fit for McDermott. However, the Panthers appear to be switching to more man under Wilks, where we could see Seymour come in for. He locks down receivers pretty well.

Good depth, and a good add for packages. Will be interesting to see how the Panthers develop and use him.

If you can play man you can play zone.. he has quick feet and reacts to the ball in the air well.. I think he can compete for starting spot on the other side of bradberry..

Having taught the intricacies of zone-heavy schemes for over three decades...let me just say that some folks take to it better than others. A good man cover can be a f*ckup zone corner.

Sure you have

As far as the defense is concerned. I trust Rivera. Probably one of the top 5 defensive minds of the last almost two decades. It's his D...even with McD it was Ron's defense. So if he likes the move then I like it.

He's always trying to pump himself up as a football guru but he repeatedly admits to preferring Derek Anderson over cam Newton and calls bersin our secret weapon. That's all I need to know.

Lmaoo his credibility just took a major hit with that bit of info..

My analysis: The Panthers just traded for a dude who lost the nickel job to Leonard Johnson, a guy we valued so much that we didn't re-sign him.

True, but we're not looking for a nickel, we're looking for a guy that can play outside so that Captain doesn't have to come outside if something happens to Worley or Bradberry.
