Go ahead and add Keith Taylor Jr. to the list...

[BlackPanther21_]

Keith Taylor has been sensational today. Even with Horn, Henderson, Gilmore out, our secondary still feasts, wow. Got this kid in the 5th round, too.

Fitterer clearly has an eye for talent in the later rounds, especially on D. Just gotta do the same thing with the O-line...

 

With everyone helthy:

Jaycee Horn

Donte Jackson

Stephon Gilmore

CJ Henderson

AJ Bouye 

Keith Taylor Jr.

 

Holy Poo.

[LinvilleGorge]

Yeah, he looks good. Even on the TD he had GREAT coverage. 

So... why were we out there trading like crazy for CBs????

[SCO96]

Unfortunately, having a top rate secondary  means nothing if the offense can't score. We scored 7 pts on a blocked punt in the 2nd half so far. The offense has done nothing. 

Over the last 10 games the offense has scored 17 points in 3rd quarter. You can't compete for a playoff spot year in and year out with offense that bad unless you're scoring 10 pts a quarter in 1st, ,2nd, and 4rh quarters...which we can't seem to do against good teams.

I was thinking the same thing. Keith Taylor is looking good. When we get Horn back we'd have Horn, Henderson, and Taylor on multi-year deals and they're all under 25. AJ (age 31) has 1 year left on his deal. So we'd be set at that position even if we lost Gilmore and Jackson.

The latter two are at the end of their contracts. Do we really think we can resign both them? Maybe Fitz is thinking about getting comp picks for 2023. The ideal situation would be for is to move one to FS to help out Chinn. I don't know if any of our CBs are capable (or willing) to do that.

Can He play Offensive Guard, Safety, Offensive Guard, Offensive Tackle, QB and Offensive Coordinator.

Maybe Head coach.?

[LinvilleGorge]

Maybe we just need to start running a single wing offense. LOL!

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, he looks like a lockdown corner.  And Fitt is from the regime that drafted Sherman and Chancellor in the 5th round.

I don't think they are trying purposely to just trade for CBs, just so happens that the good opportunities that have presented themselves this season have been CBs.   A player like Gilmore you might can flip later for what you paid now.

I seriously doubt they are turning down great trade offers for OTs just to sign the CBs.
