Cornerback

But some folks believe Washington won't compete in 26 with McLaurin, Stefan Diggs, a dynamic rookie, and Antonio Williams, the most explosive TE Washington has had since Jordan Reed and Chigokonkwo, and a much more talented group on D.

The interior OL and CB's room are major questions, but there is obvious pop on either side of the ball that hasn't received enough credit or really any credit at all.

Massive year for all involved from GM Adam Peters on down end quote.

Very good points.

I don't think.

He'll be a starter for me in CB required formats this week.

Marcus Jones, the Seahawks played the lowest rate of 11 personnel last season, which wasn't ideal for nickel corners.

We saw that in the Super Bowl as well.

So there's a chance that he might miss this game, which might see Julian Neal get more work.

But for the most part, I'm looking at Julian Love and I'm looking at Devin Witherspoon as well as both the real playable options outside of MNWARI.

Witherspoon remains a CB1 option.

He's fine.

Philo and the skill players, biggest question.

Tackling on defense, CB play, lack of awareness.

I think by the cornerbacks, consistency, rushing the passer.

Yep, because like I said, LJ, Woods, we didn't really get to see the pressure I thought we'd get to see.

I'm not ready to shy away from Ben Hanks yet.

I want to see it against a different offense.

But I still do wonder, is he just a CB1? Is he just your top corner? Or is he locked down? Is he shut down? Can he be that? I still think that's out there.

I'm not going to let this game deter that.

It's entirely possible that he comes back, he's on the practice squad.

They get that exemption that CB explained to us, that you get the extra spot for the international pathway program guys, and they just are developing him, and his story continues in Philadelphia.

I think that's probably the most likely scenario, but it's also not a guarantee.

So the five guys they kept, Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Maura Ojomo, Byron Young, Ty Robinson, Uara Bernard, BLG, how surprised were you that he does not stick on the 53-man roster?

Those are gonna be like 5:00, 6:00 starts again, uh, 'cause the Dodgers will be in the other series.

So there, there's all kinds of...

We're, we're way ahead of ourselves, but I'm already pre-annoyed about these like 5:30 October start times at CBP which I hate and cannot stand, uh, and would prefer we not have.

See, that-

So that's the only reason I lean Cedric Johnson.

Cornerbacks-wise, Josh Newton, Jasir Taylor, Braylon Lux, can any of those guys do anything to change how you view that room tonight?

I think if Josh Newton shows a little bit, he becomes safe.

Okay.

We'll see.

Cornerback's Amaya Vaughn.

So, I feel like the Vikings' defensive backroom the corners is pretty solid.

So nudie was waived injured reserve.

I, I feel like practice-wise as well as in game, I, I think Roberts easily practice squad material, uh, but also could flirt, flirt with the 53 depending what happens with Pace.

Cornerback-wise and safety-wise, well, you sort of have to combine both, you know, just DBs in general keeping 10.

Murph, Rodgers, Pier, and Chucky D, uh, as well as you got Zamaya, Armstead, Marcus Allen, Nudie, et cetera.

Um, practice squad-wise, I would probably say Armstead and Zamaya potentially.

We have, uh, the, the defense right there.

Cornerback-wise, am I doing anything crazy here? Am I leaving somebody off? We know we've seen a lot of the Nico Slaughter and J- and, and, uh, uh, Deshaun Jameson as guys who've been made plays in training camp.

But to me, we'll get to those guys in the next segment when we talk about practice squadders.

Yeah, I agree.
