It is all about fit with a scheme and coachability. If I precis all the stuff said and written by the 'analysts' his biggest flaws seem to be:
1. too aggressive (bites on double pumps etc.)
2. not a ball hawk
His biggest strengths are:
1. likes contact
2. fast to close
If I'm interpreting the various talking heads correctly it seems if we ask him to play press, cover man and provide run support in short zones he'll look good. If we make him play off the man and read in deep zones h'll look lost unless our coaches can improve his weaknesses.
The concern is we seem to be back in off/deep zone mode under Fewell rather than press (Spags). Both Webster and Prince (and Rolle at safety) are generally considered to be better in press/cover. Do we need to revisit our style a little to get the most from the considerable talent we now have back there?
