Umm Horn was better and Gilmore is better. He is a good but not great CB and the staff put him in a terrible spot yesterday where a HC that knows all of his weaknesses completely and thoroughly exploited them. That isn't on Jackson but it does back up what I said. I'm not trying to be mean to the guy, he is just not a top CB, he isn't a #1 and he is playing his balls off in a contract year. Still 3rd best CB on the roster and 2nd best healthy CB. 

Are you fuging serious??

Horn played 2 games.. Gillmore has been a part time player.. The player who has been consistently out there and playing is Djax.. And this team for 11 games has a top 5 ranked defense.. That has to mean something..

Is someone trying to make the argument that you can't expect your "good" defensive players to play good vs good offensive players....is that what i'm hearing lol

No nobody can ever have a bad game here.. No one looks up the actual stats and realize dude has been playing at a pro bowl level most of the season and hasn't giving up many big plays all season..

He had a down game against one of the best receivers in the game.  

Did he have a down game against a greatly overlooked WR? Abso-effing-lutely.

Was it a poor matchup, YES!

Should he be cut some slack? Maybe as an individual.

Is Djax having a great year otherwise? Yes, he is looking pretty good in pass and run game.

The point is, the coaching staff did absolutely nothing about it, even after multiple glaringly obvious exposures to parts of Djax's game and mismatch. 

The thread is much more about bashing the coaching staff.

Its more about the coaching but DJax and Rhule have both confirmed DJax was trying to jump routes and make a splash play rather than stay with his guy. He figured he was going to pick on Heine and got picked on himself. Once he was clearly doing that he should have been sat for a minute to let him think on it and have Gilmore on 17 anyway as he is their best WR even just coming into the game.

Wasn't he CB #1 in those 2 games?

They did!!!! They went to a zone.. They move coverage over to Mcclarin.. They doubled him.. Then Washington started running the ball down our throats.. And other player in that offense started making plays.. They made adjustments it just didn't work I'm sorry..

They are going to have to make adjustments quicker. That was the knock on the last coaching staff. You get one play and a bounce back attempt. After that, move on for the game. WFT did that with Gibson yesterday. Once he fumbled, he was done for the whole first half because he was shook about it.

And McKissic murdered us… Rivera might have just learned something from his mistakes.

Then when he put Gibson back in he ran like a man possessed.

Not sure if Rivera would have made a change like that while he was here but at least he seems to be learning.

Horn & Gilmore are Man (shutdown) corners. Its what they were drafted highly to do. However you can't say Donte hasn't taken strides and become a solid corner himself this season. Donte is more seasoned than Horn, but Horn has the more physical body and upside talent to have a better career.  And obviously Gilmore's resume speaks for itself. 

I never said he hasn't take strides. I stated clearly he is playing well but still not a shutdown corner. I'm happy for the guy, seriously. I am also not going to pretend he is a top CB in the NFL. That is ridiculous and lacks contexts. He is playing well (good and solid but not great due to his limitations) and has contributed does not equal being a top CB, that's what we were discussing. 

Being realistic isn't an attack on the guy, he is playing better than he ever has but the staff still needs to put him in a realistic and good position or yesterday will repeat.

Gilmore: limited snaps/role, will be playing larger role as weeks go by

Horn: Hurt

Bouye: Not sure if he would've shut down Terry, but maybe would've done more as donte had a bad game

Keith Taylor: Had a bad game and don't feel comfortable putting him on WR1

CJ Hen: Had an pretty alright to good game. Don't feel comfortable putting him on WR1.

 

Donte had a bad game but has put together plenty of good tape this year. 

 

YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HELPED? WHAT WE HAVE DONE ALL YEAR ON DEFENSE AND BRING CONSISTENT PRESSURE.

He only had 2 catches in the second half, for a total of 22 yards.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      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.
