Jaycee Horn again - Improving

Don't get me wrong, I want Horn to be good . . . but that video . . . Horn had the leverage the entire time.  In a game, you simply don't throw that route.  Or the receiver options to an outbreaking route so the leverage works in his favor.

To be fair, it looks like a one on one drill.

Can't choose not to throw in a drill.

I mean, isn't taking away the receiver option one of the primary objectives of a cb?

Of course, but holding this particular rep up as evidence that Horn is "the answer" for us outside is ludicrous.

Agree.  That's why I don't think this particular clip is all that exciting.  Horn lined up with the right leverage for the route.  After that, not much to see.  Had the route been outbreaking or deep, we might have had an opportunity to evaluate something.

I'm excited and hopeful that Horn turns into another Gamble / Norman / Bradberry.  I want to see something special.  Something that really shows a spark of that potential.

We'll know a whole lot more in 11 days.

All indications are that Horn is going to be drastically better than Gamble, Norman, Bradberry or any other CB this team has ever had.  I think you may be setting your sights a little low.  How about the next Jalen Ramsey?

Hes got a lot more potential than Norman or Bradberry for sure. Gamble is a much bettee comparison and he's still got more upside 

I would sure hope he has more upside than all of those guys - 23 years in the league between them and 2 Pro Bowls....at the #8 pick his upside better be 4-5 PB's at least and a few 1st Team All Pro's

Except he's apparently been absolutely smothering everyone he's covered so far in camp. Just like above, he's been making every receiver an ugly option for the QB.

There's been nothing in any practice to suggest he isn't "the answer" nor has there been anything to cause anyone to even doubt it.

Do we know it was 11 on 11 / 7 on 7 and not just 1 on 1?

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
