rivera: munnerlyn is steve smith of defense


Recommended Posts

dont know why there is so much hate on captain. its not his fault any moderately sized DB on this team can't take his starting position away from him.

considering he was a 7th rounder, busts his ass on every play, is a very legitimate nickel corner and a good special teamer i'd say he deserves a spot on this team.

Why do they have to use the same media player as NFL.com though??????

I almosted posted earlier how bad that site is at playing videos.. with a decently quick-enough-to-handle-videos my computer tries shut down every time...

The coaches think we are good everywhere when we start the season and in reality there will be issues that were misjudged. The key is keeping it to a minimum. I believe DT is one of those positions Rivera just wants solid players at, not everyone can be a superstar. Another DE however is a must for any chance...Hardy needs to step up big time this season.

I am banking on our new injured 5th rounder to win the # 2 corner job just because captain was so bad last year as a starter year. Sad thing is Gamble was on the other side locking down the opposing teams # 1 receiver.

Here's his snaps since joining the team.

09(nickel back) allowed a reception on 31 of 45 targets, 1 interception and qb's had a 98.7 qb rating against him.

10(nickel back) allowed a reception on 2 of 73 targets,3 picks and qb's had a 74.6 qb rating against him.

11(# 2 corner) allowed a reception on 45 of 61 targets(6th worst in NFL) and had a 126.9 qb(4th worse in NFL)rating against him.

He had a good 2nd year at nickel corner but wasn't good enough to beat out Richard Marshall. We should all be very concerned if no other corner beats him out for the #2 corner.

Truth is he belongs as a nickel corner in this league, not a bad thing but its a fact.

    • Some of you who are not sold on Canales are insane. His main purpose was to turn around Bryce Young’s career and he did that. Of all of the teams in the top 10 of the NFL draft, we were the team that was consistently showing the most fight week in and week out. Our players never quit on the season. The offense which he is responsible for took a huge step forward compared to last year, despite the lack of skill talent  that we have. It was our defense that was a mess. That’s one of my critiques on Canales. He should’ve gotten rid of Evero and hired his own DC that shares the same vision. But as a whole, I can’t see how people are not pleased with what Canales did with this team. I’d give him an 9/10
    • One of the first thoughts after the game yesterday was that JT was going to jump all over it. He's been more favorable about BY from the beginning, and so yesterday must've felt like Christmas.
    • Maybe, but they were always going to be an impossible team to accurately mocked right now. They have an absurd amount of cap room, what they need right now will not be what they need come draft day.  They can make multiple big splash signings and even make trades for players who need new contracts and their teams don't want to give it to them. OT and WR might be their two biggest needs right now, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to think they could go into the draft needing neither of them.  I think a LT will be their top FA priority, also think they're going to make a big offer to Higgins, and I could see them being a team in the running to trade for someone like DK Metcalf as they need a WR like him and they have the cap space to give him a big new contract.
