Is David Amerson the next Richard Sherman? - Hogs Haven


i think he has potential to be and that is why the skins drafted him . if he can put it all together with his physical talents and is ball hawking skills we could have a gem here

the similarities are there but it has to show up on the field /

i am a big advocate of tall cbs .

Hopefully he won't need illegal substances to be good.

is amerson physical?

 

[Sleepy T]

Yeah, I think Amerson could be good. Happy with the secondary pickups in this years draft.

 

[Eastbay]

The kid lacked confidence last year, and got beat often like a drum, doubt he gains any confidence against the NFL WR studs he will have to face in the NFCE alone. Is he a projected starter?

That's the thing about Amerson. While he is big and aggressive going after the ball, he does not play physical at the line. I saw a quote from Raheem stating that his lack of bump and run abilities at the line is his biggest weakness. Hopefully the can coach him up.....

It's funny because I once thought the same thing. It is very possible. I also believe Amerson has more talent as a prospect because of his hands, speed, and elusiveness.

Amerson's tape shows he is not great in press or in back pedaling. Luckily, the Skins rarely ask their DBs to do either

Actually think that's an insult to Ameerson. Amerson actually has ball skills and can get turnovers. Sherman bases his whole game off of mugging WRs at the line. If he cant beat you up, he cant cover you. I reference the time when he went up against Megatron who basically took his lunch money.

 

[Skin'EmAll]

You don't waste any time skinsdad! See you got some good topics up.

IMO, along with not being physical and a gambler, Amerson appeared to play on an island quite a bit last year. While I wasn't crazy about the pick, obviously if he plays like he did a couple years ago we got a 1st rounder in the 2nd. Right now, I'd just like to see him play well. The only comparison he has to Sherman right now is height/weight. But he also has great upside

 

[Warpath]

I agree. Aside from height they aren't very comparable players. Two different styles with very different strengths and weaknesses.

thats what i was thinking, amerson is a tall ballhawk but i never thought of him as a physical corner. sherman is a tall physical corner.

 

[go-dj]

Would a better comparison be Antonio Cromartie? Or even Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie?

Yup. Or if you take out the physical comparisons... Asante Samuel. A gamble that will try to make the big play, at the expense of giving one up.

 

[j_y19]

Don't we already have one of those? DHall come to mind?

 

[Warpath]

In his younger years. Now he tends to give up plays and not atone for them with making big plays himself.

amerson will be a good one i think. he's getting into a good system as long as we can get a decent pass rush for his rookie season. CB's need about 2 seasons to learn to how to cover in the NFL

I like the pick, and dont want to compare him to anyone...I just want him to be the best Amerson he can be....Ball Hawking Corner, that can use his height to make plays.......I am tired of the shorter CB's.....and glad to see that we are looking for size as well......

He wont be the starter right away, but will get his playing time.......I believe when he is in the gmae..D Hall slides over to the slot, and I do like Dhall on the slot receiver as well........

With a better pass rush, the entire backside of the defense will be better, and I do believe he has all the makings of a good corner...

3 catches, 46 yards, 0 tds. Nice reference.

Just like any position in football, it's all system-dependent. As a Seahawks fan, I love the big corners. Sherman can run and has great range due to his length and hips, but without the great safety play behind them, the big corners would not be as physical at the line. Most guys that big dont have his fluidity, like Browner and need that range provided behind them in order to make the system go. The Seahawks defense was built around what the safeties could do first and foremost.
