Omar Thornton savage

With Lucas back I think we will start seeing Fitz at nickel in obvious passing downs.

Is Lucas

Jessu.. that’s the goal

Does he know that? Lol

 

[KrazyCane]

I like Thornton but he’s not twitchy enough to be a true nickel and doesn’t seem to have natural instincts for man coverage. I think a box safety role is his best position.

 

[SinisterCane]

Shouldn’t the savage be able to cover as well

 

[skyman]

I need him to stop kamikazing into my DTs arms elbows and shoudlers after they have RB wrapped up and whistle blows.. He almost took out both DTs before haftime, lol

Playing like a cane doesn’t only mean big hits lol

Yall gotta understand hes not here to be a lockdown cover nickel like Scott was. He probably has more on his plate because of our injuries.

When we get X and Jaboree back, Bryce and JJ can switch between safety and passing down nickel. Thornton can then be used primarily as an enforcer in the box and on blitz's. We will have much more versatility, and I would bet he will look like a strength of this defense when not asked to do as much.

No. He’s actually way too savage for that.

I'd just settle for finishing those sacks when he blitzes.
