Bigby Finally Signs

I agree…we are sitting in GREAT shape. For all the crap TT gets, he’s got everyone accounted for right now!

Even if he comes back, I don’t think he’ll be back at CB2 level. Maybe…but I think Tramon is the #2 regardless. Why would it be RIDiculous? Al is what, 34? His level of play has been slipping the past few years (a little) and now he suffered a VERY serious injury. I think its ridiculous to assume he’s going to come back and just pick up where he was at in 2006 or something.

Is not a CB that relies on speed and quickness anyway. Thats why I said awile back that his ACL would afffect him less than other CB’s. Harris relies on his physicality, long arms and strength to jam WR at the LOS, to disrupt their routes and timing w/ the QB. Even w/ that Harris is going to have some difficulty reclaiming his #2 CB role.

Maybe…we’ll see here pretty soon. We don’t know how many steps he has lost though. He’s not only another year older (I am JUST younger and I can feel my age starting to catch up to me) but he’s coming back from a major injury. We don’t know what kind of condition he’s going to be in or how well he’s going to play. AS far as I am concerned, he has to earn that #2 job. I am not giving it to him based on name recognition or past history.

First you CAN’T be physical in zone coverage!!! Can only do that in the 5 yds beyond the LOS… You can and Harris IS physical at press man coverage!

Second, apparently you didn’t read the last sentence… “Even w/ that Harris is going to have some difficulty reclaiming his #2 CB role.” Harris is going to have trouble playing at the level he was pre-injury… IMO, he is the nickel/#3 CB this season!

jamming in a zone coverage would be a bad move. You rarely are ON a guy (to start with) and you rarely are on the line. You cover a zone. He probably won’t even be in that 5 yard cushion too often.

I don’t think anyone is saying Williams is better than a pre-injury Harris, but face the damn facts… He is 35 and coming off a knee injury that required TWO (2) surgeries to fix!!! It’s impossible to know how well he returns from the injury!!! So fans are mostly on the Williams bandwagon, but that doesn’t mean they automatically think Williams is better than Harris was BEFORE his injury!!!

SERIOUSLY!!!

come because of 2 reasons: His struggles when he did play last year and him coming off an ACL Tear. He was very average last year when he played and did committ a LOT of penalties. Williams wasn’t any better, but he wasn’t any worse either. That’s not saying we expect big things out of him, we just know what to expect out of him.

Okay man…enough already.

First Tramon wasn’t even on Roy for most of his yards.

About 40 of the yards had Collins on him (Williams fumbled it at the end). I haven’t seen highlights of the rest but you need to give that a rest dude. I don’t think Williams is great, in fact I was slightly underwhelmed by him last year, but you need to get off him especially if THAT is you main dig.

Why don’t people recognize Williams talent?? Does everyone know that even when Harris went down, Williams had taken about 65% of the snaps on defense? Since Woodson played in the slot, Williams started on the outside and did just fine. And actually, a lot of games Williams covered opposing teams best Wr’s. (Ochocinco and Rice) As for the Dallas game, I don’t think Williams even covered him much. I’m almost positive that Williams one big gain came when Collins was covering him, and he ended up fumbling anyway.

I don’t think anyone thinks Williams is better then Harris was before his injury but now the reality is, he probably has surpassed him.

Thanks for posting that!

oh nice find!!! I was just commenting on that and said I don’t have the stats but that I am sure they are out there!
