And you know this from watching him play when? Simply amazing how people form vehement opinions based upon absolutely nothing.cadahnic said:Sanders will provide some nice depth since Jamal Lord is terrible and should be cut.
What friggin game tape?--Lord was on the practice squad for all but 4 games last year and only touched the field in 1 regular season game. But nonetheless, that is sufficient exposure to judge the potential of a long term project in his 1st year after changing positions and sides of the ball?--great couch gm'ing.cadahnic said:He is a really long term project and if you would have watched the game tape you would have seen that he is not fluid, not smart, and overmatched at safety.
I think you are in left field on this one. Casserly said that Lord went through the DB position drills like no other conversion player since Nolan Cromwell at the combine. There is no real game tape on him other than a few plays in a preseason game.cadahnic said:Lord played QB in college and we converted him to safety, because the kid could not catch so he could not move to receiver. Well more that he converted himself during the combine last year. He is a really long term project and if you would have watched the game tape you would have seen that he is not fluid, not smart, and overmatched at safety. TopTexanFAn brought up a great point Simmons although not ideal height has tremendous heart and brings the wood every play but this going to be his ninth year in the league and he has never been anything other than decent depth.
I also think we have good safety depth if Walker can regain his level of play prior to the injury...Didn't he block a punt and a field goal in that New England game? I remember he was amazing against them...texasguy346 said:We've got good depth at the safety positions. We've got our projected starters in Coleman and Earl. As mentioned earlier Simmons can play either CB/FS/SS, and Sanders will likely fill a similar role as CB/FS/SS. We've also got Ramon Walker at SS who you might better remember for his play in the New England game. Then of course we've got Jamaal Lord. Our depth at safety looks pretty good to me.
Jammal Lord, Walker, and Earl are our 3 talented young safeties...I liked Lord last preseason and he should be much improved after having a season of practice at FS under his belt...TopTexanFan16 said:who are the 3 talented young Safties....walker and earl who else just askin cause im not sure whos at saftey.
Yes, he blocked both a punt and a field goal in that game and made 4 of 9 special teams tackles that day. Then shattered his leg the next week.D-ReK said:Didn't he block a punt and a field goal in that New England game? I remember he was amazing against them...
The two veterans are Lewis Sanders and Simmons. Simmons has played both FS and SS for us at times, and has been great on special teams. Sanders is a CB who also can play S if need be. So we have pretty good depth at S.TopTexanFan16 said:alright, cool thanks and the two vets we have r who? simmons and uh well i have no idea
