Oj seemed fine first half and held up great on back should throws, its like when Xavier came back they just threw OJ to side for Oconnor.. Oconnor was FOOD, Marked man and he could not hold up on back shoulder throws.. I dont understand why OJ never played again when he seemed engaged and focused first half..

Strange. OJ is our best cb. He was playing with the aggressiveness you need to defend back shoulder throws.I wonder if he reinjured himself?

Xavier Lucas would like a word. Our defense played with so much juice with Lucas back.

Tough plays on the CB to play that ball. You can’t run through the WR. O’Connor has been a dawg all season. Not sure why we played off all 1st half. Mendoza is going to fail in the NFL. Back should fade or RPO to the flat or NOTHING.
Dammit man.. Wasnt aware..

Lucas in the first half probably makes it’s a different game seemed like the whole secondary felt better in familiar roles… was Lucas even tried?
Also Brown in the portal? Because **** not even the natty game could he go??

O’Connor just needs to get bigger. He’s **** good. He played that WR better than anyone I saw this season.

He’s just not a physical corner like oj, Lucas, or brown even… they thrive on contact and being “handsy” which in the playoffs it seems like refs let them battle
O’Connor is not soft but if your gonna find a dude to pick on who isn’t aggressive he’s the man

O’Connor is aggressive. His issue is he’s SKINNY.

Him, Lucas, moten, Scott will be the dudes on defense next season
Lightfoot hopefully takes that next step with Lowe and scroggins hopefully flashing to provide pass rush

PHYSCIAL… he’s aggressive in that he’s grabby with tugs but he ain’t able to mix it up like the other 3.
He’s a good corner but it’s obvious in the playoffs refs are gonna let you get physical and battle with no flags
