Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 26, 2024, 08:41:29 PMThe Chiefs won the Super Bowl with their defense

Mahomes helped a bit.  But point taken that the defense carried them all season being one of the very best.  I think the Giants are building a similar type of defense that can carry the team and a less than stellar offense on their backs.

My notes on Tyler Nubin

-Imposing size - good frame
-A glider and long strider - allows him to access
 funtioncal range for deep half/Quarters
- Very good ball skills - extends and secures passes
- Displined in coverage - doesn't get grabby, well-timed
   hits
-Excellent instincts and eyes in coverage - dangerous
  robber
-Excellent reactive quickness
-Elite periphrial vision/awareness - a threat to undercut
  backside routes
- Leverages elite spatial awareness to create turnovers
- Solid burst in plant & drive downhill - enhanced by
   processing
- Very good zone coverage, split-field safety option
- Sees through routes well - disciplined/patient,
   understands concepts
- Reported film junkie (it shows up on tape)
- Good overall tackler who comes square and
   maximizes his tackle-radius (32 ¼" arms)
- Good presence downhill with proper
   positioning/angles of attack
- Solid blitzing option
- Menace on special teams
- Tight hipped, not very fluid for a safety
- Not very explosive out of his breaks
- Transitions in man coverage aren't fluid
- Below-average recovery speed
- Has range due to stride length/acceleartion but
tightness affects his ability to consistently play the post
- Sub-optimal in man coverage

Overall, Nubin is an intelligent quarters safety with excellent instincts and ball skills. He has athletic limitations hinder his upside as a man coverage safety, but he's sound against the run and a physical presence with excellent size. He'll be a problem for offenses over the MOF, but the Giants must be wary of pre-snap shifts that could position Nubin with an undesirable assignment.

I guess his pursuit speed is the ding on him.  Said if a CB loses his guy, Nubin may not get there quickly enough to cover him.

His instincts are off the charts.  Saban loved him.

Seems grateful for the oppurtunity .... Hope we do get it all. Can fill a big need

He was the guy I wanted at 47. Like McKinney he was a bit hobbled rehabbing at the combine but on the tape he has all the range you could want. Like most safeties he lacks a top gear to match an absolute burner deep but he will put himself in good positions to make plays with above average smarts and recognition. Nubin has better ball instincts coming out than McK had and is happy to tackle, though not quite as physical. Just a really nice value meets need pick IMO.

I know there are a handful of us who are already excited about this pick, but I believe soon all of us will be.

This is a very good player, the best safety in the draft according to the consensus, and it will show.

He will start on opening day and probably not disgrace himself.

The absence of big play makers over the last few years has been glaringly obvious. Hopefully we're turning the corner

Nubin should have every opportunity to start, and I'd be disappointed if he didn't. Feel like we need a DT to work in tandem with Dex..but I'm hopeful the defense will be better with Burns and the rooks
