Jaycee Horn again - Improving

[Zod]

Jaycee had a better day today. With refs on the field throwing flags I didn't see him attract any negative attention. During 11 on 11 team drills he had a really nice PBU against Darnold and DJ Moore. 

 

Here he is defending the new guy Krishawn Hogan (who is 6'3 btw).

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.

Tre Boston pulled a Michael Jackson and is giving it a go at WR I see..

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

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

Can't choose not to throw in a drill.

He’s an exciting prospect. Don’t forget he was the 1st defensive player taken in the entire draft. 
 

That better be instant starting w/minimal development needed. Hoping he crushes it.

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? 

[Moo Daeng]

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

So excited about this guy. Hopefully he can take some pressure off Donte Jackson (who is a true #2 CB IMO) and he can thrive covering most teams WR2.

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

[Manna]

For once we have a corner running stride for stride with the WR, disrupting the WR, and doesn't look 10ft shorter than the opposing WR.

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?
