As we all know there are many holes to fill on this team, yet I’ve barely seen CB discussed. If we lose Jaylon, CB is an absolutely massive need. I know it’s still early, but so far you can’t feel good at all about Stevenson and Gordon. Almost every time Gordon is targeted, it’s an easy completion regardless of who the receiver is. There’s a chance we have major upgrades on the DL this offseason, only for the secondary to take a huge step back. I am WORRIED

CB is the least of my worries. That’s all they drafted. Also Terrell Smith looks promising

I would be more worried about the durability- with the entire db group actually- than the ability.

Stevenson is being targetted a lot because he is across JJ and he is a rookie. He is having a great rookie season actually since CB is a hard position to learn.

[–] devinstated1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What?!? No he is not. Stevenson is currently one of the worst if not the worst starting CB in the NFL currentlybut he is having a good season? Based on what? Because he had a pick where Brisker tackled the receiver to the ground or because his FF in the same game? Dude has been absolutely horrendous every single game except that Detroit game.

Lmfao

"One of the worst corners in the league by every metric is actually having a good season because uhhh bear down fuck the packers"

[–] teachem4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dude this sub is in full on delusion. We’ve always overrated our players, both proven and unproven, but the Stevenson/Gordon stuff is just totally out of hand.

[–] troofinesse@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I've been watching him get burned all season. That's okay though because he got a pick recently and Saint Poles drafted him, I guess.

Guessing I'll be the 3rd downvoted "hater"

We have control of JJ. JJ, tyrique, Gordon and smith feels like a rock solid group to me with serious potential

[–] theskyalreadyfell217@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m just operating under the assumption he will be a bear.

The 2ndary is getting torched because there is no pressure up front. You won’t need elite/top of the league corners if you fix the d-line and can bring pressure with 4.

This is like a 2025 convo

[–] Toomuchlychee_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I like Terrell Smith. He doesn’t have JJ’s coverage skills but he hits like a truck

Gordon was amazing last game

[–] Historical_Carpet_46@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We’ve spent like 4 draft picks over the past two years on CB. I think Gordon, Stevenson and Terrell Smith deserve a year or two to see how they develop and then we can reevaluate our corners in 2025/2026 when we’ve hopefully built up the Dline better as that is a bigger need at this point

[–] 200LBSAMMICH@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My only concern about JJ is that he gets a long term contract and his performance dips similar to what happened with Eddie Jackson

In what way

[–] Rathos_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If there's "major upgrades on the DL this offseason" then the secondary will improve by default, especially if kept intact with another year of experience. They're young & promising.

Kyler is ok
