yes, us being a top scoring team in the nfl does help. Makes it easier on the defense. Do you agree that the Latimore trade was made b/c of BSJ poor play?

No…the Lattimore trade was made because it made sense. It was not player specific. Defensive secondary is a place we needed to improve now and in the future. lattimore covers three years at a reasonable cost.

true but if the secondary was playing well its a different story. Lattimore is better talent than what we have so the move it a no brainer. BSJ not stepping up in his contract year had to put the team on notice. Most people had us in the market for a pass rusher. I was banging the table for a CB b/c of BSJ. Just my opinion.

Aren’t we top ten against the pass?

the pass rush has something to do with that.

 

[skinsdad62]

Lattimore was a case of talent and price met to fill a need .

 

[gkekoa]

the pass rush has something to do with that.

Yes it does…and so does the secondary.

 

[deanpet21]

Yes it does…and so does the secondary.

So, are you actually defending BSJ here? lol. Do you feel he is going to get better as a CB? Do you see him being benched when Lattimore is ready to play?

He isn’t defending BSJ , he is saying it takes both

i agree its a great deal and it's not a rental and he is a good CB but it's initiated by the bad play of BSJ IMO. Do you think BSJ gets benched when Latimore is healthy?

 

[Skin'EmAll]

I would be surprised he hasn't show anything as of right now that he can lock up #2 WR's. Last year Fuller was the #1 CB. BSJ was still bad. Hopefully he turns it around. Who do you think Whitt sends to the bench when Lattimore is full healthy?

Not BSJ. They will likely give him a chance to hang himself first. With his job on the line, I'm speculating he will do all he can to keep Noah on the bench.

That's an interesting theory about the trade for Lattimore. I was thinking the trade was made more so because the nfc championship game is a real possibility with Lattimore. Going with what we had at corner almost guaranteed a 1 and done playoff run

He hasn't hung himself yet? I hope he turns it around for the team

Do you feel like the only reason lattimore is here is because of BSJ playing like hot garbage? I think thats a part of it, but not the main reason

Not playing Robin to Lattimore. The guy is gone next year but they will likely see how he does before just outright benching him

not the only reason but a big reason. You cant dismiss that reason. Noah and Mikey are playing well.

In what manner did I defend BSJ?

Yes, BSJ will get better at CB. That doesn’t mean he will ever be a great or even a good CB.

Lattimore will start when he is healthy.

I agree BSJ is gone next year. I can't see how DQ/Whitt would bench Noah who was brought b/c he knows the system and playing well and the 2nd round draft pick Mikey.

you didn't answer my question. who gets benched when Lattimore is healthy?

 

[gkekoa]

That was never your question to me. I think you will see all of them playing. Lattimore and Sanistril will likely see little change in their playing time. If I had to guess, Noah will lose the most snaps.

As hard as it is to fathom, BSJ could become a playmaker(that was so hard to type) teaming up with Lattimore. I know how trashy he's been but IMO, playing the wr2 and having your job on the line "could" help him focus
