have fun



And no, you don’t want DBs to miss 20% of their tackles and/or have a high TD % rate. That’s not good and even worse when it’s the last line of defense missing those tackles.
He must have still gotten credit on those missed tackles. Cause ain’t no way in **** this guy was involved in so many tackles where he missed 20 percent of them and still came out with 84. That’s like 120 tackles. we need to have him on that tackle dummy 24/7

the good news is that he will now have the best coaching he's ever had.
 
Dude looks like granite and plays like a Faberge egg….
I think he would make a great nickel. I don’t think he will hold up in a much more physical position. Can’t help the club in the tub…
 
I like Thornton at SS. I don't like his speed at Nickel. Unless Ewald or a Mack step up, I believe he ends up at Nickel.
We have already been through enough with Damari's father over the years. We fought to keep him. His father already stated a year ago, my son is only a outside CB, not a S or Nickel. Their is tape of him on the outside now for NFL teams and N offers him a for sure starting spot. Some things do change, but I don't see this being one of them. We shall see.
 
Still think Poyser would play Nickel over him.
 
Didn’t this board hate damari for a year straight lol I don’t have much opinion on him positive or negative. But he’s never seemed like he moves the needle much. Good piece to have. But I’ve never seen him inspire this much confidence all of a sudden

He's good when he plays. He just never plays.
 
I think replacing Keionte is going to be more difficult that people think. The way he slipped blocks at the last second while still keeping leverage and contain was something that not many people have. It really showed through during the aTm ame

This kid isn’t as good of a tackler and really dives when he tackles. He doesn’t play above his size like keionte did IMO. I like the pick up as 0 was a revelation from game 1 as the nickel but I hope I’m wrong.
 
It feels like ages ago, but I can't remember who played nickel when Scott went out. I know Fitzgerald was filling in for Thomas.

I agree. Scott was elite in pass coverage, run defense, and pass rushing. He's leaving some big shoes to fill and quite frankly, we should not expect the same production from that position next season.

Yeah he was elite in run defense and pass rush and good in pass coverage
 
He looks slower than Scott, so his impact on the defense MAY be less than what we got from Scott.

Now, if Damari decides he wants that role….

Conrad Hussey has the same speed as Scott.

Yep after the infamous Syracuse game when he was freshly back from injury. CIS wrote him off after that game. Although you’d like to see him have a szn where he doesn’t miss significant time due to injury he’s been a good player for us when he’s on the field.
