Lamar Jackson just got cut. Do the hawks kick the tires to see if he could provide some CB depth?

Lamar Jackson??

Sure the size is intriguing, but I'm massively skeptical of anyone who can't make the Jets.

I liked him coming Nebraska, last year -I thought around the 5th round. He was undrafted, so I obviously didn't have many teams that agreed with me. Maybe worth nothing, but we're not exactly looking at a lot of great CB play right now.

Wow.... I guess he's slightly overshadowed by the other guy with the same name.

Well, to be fair - the other guy has actually had NFL snaps in meaningful games. This one has just been active on the sideline for a few weeks.

Ian Bunting waived

The Hawks have given up a 6th and 7th round pick for 2 CB in the past week. This doesn't make me feel good about our CB room, not one bit.

Ben Levine of profootballrumors.com has Tre Flowers and Ahkello Witherspoon as the starters - which has me confused and concerned. If that is true (what the hell happened to Reed) then we're looking at pretty large cushions and easy receptions all season long. I'm just hoping he's being a moron, and doesn't really know what's happening.

Reed has been coming back from an injury.

I wouldn't mind seeing what Jones has to offer

Don't get me wrong, I'm a bigger fan of Flowers than most, but he's been asked to give a cushion he can't possibly consistently defend. IDK if that's just Norton's conservative style, or if they felt Flowers wasn't good enough to maintain coverage from the line, but when he's on the field they concede 1st downs by scheme.

Yeah, Tre Flowers sucks

 

[Screamin12th]

Sad truth is Flowers had a better season than Griffin last year. I always thought Griffin was over rated, but a good #2 CB. I would feel more comfortable with say Sherman on one side and Flowers on the other than any combination of CB's on this team right now. Call me crazy because I feel crazy just thinking that, but I have ZERO confidence in our CB room as a whole right now.

Better hope we get instant pressure off the snap a lot this year or it could get ugly.

John Clayton said yesterday that DJ Reed's injury may take a bit more time to heal than initially thought...

CB is probably the weakest position on an overall very strong roster, so it makes sense to me the FO is doing what they can to try to address it after maybe not seeing what they wanted to see so far during camp & pre-season. Trading for a couple guys now to have more options is better than doing nothing and hoping things work for the best.

Looking forward to seeing Sidney Jones back in the PNW, and I bet the trade was music to his ears after toiling in Philly for 3 years and Jax for 1. Maybe he hasn't quite become the NFL player that we thought, but he also hasn't played a ton -- just 1 game in his rookie season (torn achilles before the draft) and 30 since. He's had 17 pdef in his last 21 games (2 seasons), which seems like a good clip. I think we got a little better with this trade, and I don't think we'll miss that 2022 6th rounder.

They also got John Reid from the Texans. Another intriguing CB based on size and ability.
It will be interesting to see who makes the squad.
