Every team needs a draft like this once in a while to turn things around.  Look at Rams 2023 draft.

Absolutely, the Seahawks were another example

Phillips defends the slot... Nabers is a superstar at the slot. Looking forward to that matchup in training camp.

Quote from: MightyGiants on May 07, 2024, 11:20:59 AMThe funny thing is that he did have 1 INT, but it was called back due to a penalty (the penalty was not on Phillips).

While I prefer ball-hawks, I have seen DBs who are skilled at preventing completions from doing well.  I think former Giant Adoree Jackson could be an example.

This 0 INTs thing seems like a classic case of focusing on a thing a player doesn't do to the exclusion of the many things he does do.

I also don't get why he is being pigeonholed as a slot corner by some when he played more than half his snaps outside.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist.

And a good tackler helps in run support where they need help more than they need help in takeaways.
