This guy was getting plenty of hype on here last year before the injury.  And it seemed it was assumed he was going to be the starting CB across from Bradberry.

Unless I've missed it.  But there hasnt been much coverage of him at all.  I dont think I heard his name mentioned at all in OTA's

 

@Jeremy Igo @RoaringRiot or anyone who has sources that were at OTA's.  Did anyone catch how he was looking conditioning wise and hiw he looked in coverage/drills?

 

If he can return back to what we expected him to be, thatd be big.  Especially considering putsode of Bradberry and Jackson.  The CBs are a big question mark

He has been running with the ones and looks good. Glad to see him back. That was a nasty break. Can still hear it.

Who's spot has he been taking with the 1's?  Bradberry or Jackson's?  Or has he been on with the 1s specifically in nickel packages with the other 2.

Both. There is a ton of subs in OTAs. He has also lined up at nickel

After watching Captain just kill us last year.  If Cockrell can come back to full form.  That trio gives me real hope with this defense.  

Feels like 2015 when we had a 

A CB coming off a big rookie season (Bene was rated the top rookie CB his rookie year).  Jackson is coming off a big season

A #1 CB going into a contract season wearing #24

A 3rd solid vet CB while Cockrell isnt quiet Peanut comparison.  He's been in for a minute

Cockrell just may be a reason why Gaulden probably really needs to lock down the safety spot to secure his future. 

Cockrell might just turn the whole CB group upside down (in a good way). Competition is a good thing! I'm sure that he has designs on starting. It will be interesting to see what transpires.

I'd love to see us run more match up coverage this year, whether it's in the form of man coverage or match up zone. Especially with the Bradbury/Jackson combo. Bradbury excels against bigger WRs where Jackson has the speed to match up with the burners, but at the same time, if you play those guys as pure LCB/RCB it's pretty easy for the opposition to create match up problems for us.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      I wrote a long dissertation on who they would pick, breaking down the draft by needs and player availability and concluded (at that time) that we would go WR in the first.  Being right is humbling and dignifying.  I predicted that the Panthers would draft Matthew Golden.

      First of all, DJ had 788 yards as a rookie And second, KB was playing with Cam the year before he won MVP, and while Olsen had the exact same 1,008 yards as KB that year, next on the list was Cotchery with 580 and then 4th was Philly Brown with 296. KB had 73 receptions on 146 targets that year, THAT'S why he had 1k+ yards, not because he was some dominant WR, there were no other WR options on that team at all. If you say Thielen and Olsen are somewhat equal, particularly in role and ability, then XL/Coker >>>>>> Cotchery/Brown. Yes, T-Mac very well could get there, and this isn't me hedging on the ability of my guy.  It's that we should in theory have a lot of good receiving options and in his rookie year, I can see how T-Mac can have a good season but still not get to 1k this year because of it. In year 2 when we lose Thielen and he has that year under his belt, then yea, I'll say right now, I'm expecting a 1,200 yard season at minimum from him in 2026.  But I just think expecting 1k this first year given the weapons we have and being a run first offense, isn't fair to T-Mac. Again, just look at MHJ for what an uber talented rookie is likely to do when there is another legit receiving option there.  Nabers and BTJ were the only games in town for them last year, Puka the year before had a lot of time as the only option there while Kupp was hurt. If that happens to us next year with Thielen/XL/Coker, then yea, I'll then say T-Mac should get that 1k mark, but I'm not going to make my expectations based on expecting injuries.
