djphinfansubscriberOPThought certain members or anyone, could break it down to see how we best use this queen chess piece moving forward..And which position is actually the most important in defensive football moving forward?
I wrote this predraft so it’s topics I’ve been thinking about a lot..
Still would take Mink > Derwin James..
“He displays the skillset in college to play a high level version of corner, movement, foot speed, mirroring skills and plant foot speed was hi level..deploy where you want it’s gonna be great anywhere..”
“We just need to figure out what’s the most important position, not the most important position for him relative to his skillset, because the notion that his skillset is best suited at safety isn’t valid imo.”
Here’s the article that may suggest they might be having some discussions..
Which position should it be??
Galantforum_veteranHe's proven himself capable everywhere so I'd go with conditional usage allowing others to play where they're strongest and have him fill the gap, or match him up against strong opponents.
This would at least permit further lessening for him and the coaches to see what he can do.
"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)
KeyFinforum_veteranI don't know defensive schemes enough to talk intelligently about it, but it seems like we get ourselves in trouble when we're in zone coverage. And the biggest problem is that they'll shut it down, allow a short pass, shut it down and then have broken coverage on a 20 yard pass over the middle. It's not tight ends necessarily torching us this season either....it's a primary receiver that just smokes the coverage because someone screws up.
If it were me, I'd put Minkah on the field every possible snap either in the slot, boundary or roaming free as a safety. And if he does get beat then so be it....he's a rookie that only gets better after every single mistake. The way the kid studies film and works his ass off to get better puts him above McCain in my opinion and I'd turn him loose as much as possible.
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

I like this idea you had. We'll just call him Fitz the Fixer and have him fix our toughest DB matchup on defense.
Leadership isn't getting people to line up behind you; it is getting them to join you.
Sometimes the journey is as important as the destination.
The little things matter. Winning starts by not beating ourselves.
Mornings are for coffee and contemplation.

Unlucky 13subscriberBobby McCain should only be a slot corner. So the choice for Fitz is outside corner or free safety.
In a perfect world, I'd put him at fs and draft a corner in April. But I guess well see what the team chooses.
