Falcons Pregame

I just looked up the Falcons vs. Eagles game, since we just came off of the win against the Eagles. I predict the game on sunday will be very similar to Eagles vs. Falcons, but the Skins will rush a lot more often and try to control the clock:

Lol, im not saying Amerson is the difference between winning and losing.

Our current CB depth is nil; Amerson would help.

The Skins knew they lacked CB depth when they cut him. What does that say about their belief in him?

At this stage of our team build, I say keep running players through the system until we can find players who can do the job. Once you know a player can't do it, as in the case of Amerson, cut him and try the next guy. You may need to open a lot of oysters before you find a pearl.

Remember, breeland has own dez Bryant...a large, athletic wr.

This is a big test for Barry, interesting see how he gives help. I'm gonna be watching Jarrett, will he line up on the outside?

Culliver out is a huge blow.

I wouldnt be surprised if Amerson was cut bc he was missing assignments and responsibilities. pure speculation on my part but id take 11 guys on the same page.

His cut was unexpected, that leads me to believe something happened behind closed doors. did he miss another meeting like last year? not study enough?


perhaps a Jeron Johnson sighting, letting him be the 4th corner? i know he is a safety but i thought he was kinda hybrid. is he out of the dog house yet? is he even on the active roster? I thought he would be contributing a lot more.
---------------------------------

I was curious on how Amerson was doing ..sigh

"Fast forward one week and the North Carolina State-product has now found himself engrained in the Raiders cornerback rotation, playing every defensive snap except two against Chicago and finishing the day with 7 total tackles, 1 very impressive pass defensed and 1 forced fumble."

checked out jeron johnsons twitter for any hints .. none except he thanks the lord every day for a new day, seems to be friends w darryl young and loves his Boise State Broncos.

Culliver out is a huge blow.

I thought he was cut because he sucked.

Yup. My point exactly.

Who knows ...

Maybe Blackmon is a (very) late bloomer previously hindered by a series of injuries but is now all better and fits our system really really well;

Maybe Deshazor is that crazy UFA who fell between the cracks and just needed an opportunity;

Maybe Q. Dunbar - like D. Young (a LB his rookie year) - is a real diamond in the rough with the potential to be a stud CB in a year or two.

Test the depth and see what you got. This is as good a game as any to try it.

I thought he was cut because he sucked.

Im thinking ... sucked + "something" = unexpected cut.

I just dont know what that "something" is. he was cut after the d hall injury so we were a little thin there and cutting him at that point and bringing in will blackmon off the street seemed a lil extreme.

i feel like we are missing something here.

I seriously doubt it. His draft report makes out as a linebacker type safety who doesn't turn and run particularly well. Here is his draft profile: Kyshoen Jarrett Draft Profile – NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/kyshoen-jarrett?id=2552593)

Weaknesses: Tight-hipped rover who is more linebacker than safety. Clunky when transitioning from backpedal. Lacking recovery speed. Frenetic. Allows excitement for the game to overcome him at times. Can get lost in coverage when plays break down and scramble ensues. Blitzing machine with limited coverage responsibilities, often locking in on tight ends and as a very deep, single-high safety.

...

Bottom Line: Productive, yet limited, three-year starter with a nose for the ball and a willingness to play a physical brand of football. He can be a liability in coverage and will have to be covered up by scheme, but he's an absolute bulldog around the line of scrimmage and can play on special teams right away.

I'm thinking the "something" was ... "sucked + [sucked really bad, sucked last year, sucked again this year and we are now convinced he will continue to suck from now until doomsday - a blind dog with three broken legs provides better coverage than him.]"

I could be wrong. (Not about him sucking though, that's a rock-solid-take-it-to-Vegas-and-bet-your-house reason for him being cut).
