Horn spent A LOT of the Saints game as the Nickel defender, Henderson has tape there as well from JAX. 

Donte' lined up inside, and outside at LSU, and even played off the LOS as a safety at times. 

I'm not to worried about scheme fits, these guys are all versatile, and TOP tier athletes at the position. 

Fine by me. I want em all.

Of course you can.

Schematically it doesn’t work out that well. All 3 of our guys excel on the outside.

I thought Horn played pretty well in the slot, given he is a rookie.  Heck, even for an older player I thought he was pretty good in there.  Thing is, man corners tend to be fine playing in the slot.  They are accustomed to shadowing their guy.

When you take a zone corner inside, you're asking him to chase a guy, not play a zone.  Thus, those types of corners tend to be the ones you go "he's an outside corner".  Jaycee, CJ . . . they are man corners.  They'll be fine.  I'm even optimistic that Donte can come around to it.

Good man corners can play inside.

Totally not based on anything, and ian thomas has played ok so far but if this is true and they were talking about a deal in training camp I wonder if thats why Rhule was talking Thomas up so much.  I feel like maybe he was the te they were wanting to move in the deal and maybe he was trying to increase his value a little with some hype.

I could see this.

But Arnold also had good training camp reports coming out almost everyday as well.

I think Tremble is coming along quicker than expected and allowed us to move a piece that hasn’t had much of an impact yet.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
