A guy that's played primarily as a man cover corner will have developed different instincts to a guy primarily playing zone. Unless he'd been coached up in zone for some time, it's very easy to understand why he'd struggle in zone.
What got me here is there are ways to scheme up to leverage his skills and hide his weaknesses (mixed man/zone schemes etc.). They expected him to do all the adapting.
The staff definitely could have done a better job to play to his strengths. I prefer a more man-based defense myself.
But I still don't mind the signing. It just didn't work out and now all parties can move on. Fuck Dan's money anyways lol.

Now if could repeat that about Wentz
I gotta be honest - hard to be mad at Ron for Wentz. They were wrong about him too, but if Heinicke continues to be adequate for the stretch of games I expect Wentz to ride the bench for the rest of the year, and then they can dump him in the offseason without a huge cap penalty. So they hedged their bet in a big way and it looks like it will pay off this offseason.

And those bum ass guards!

Thought Jackson would work out better but happy for all parties about the team parting ways with him. Sounds like they'll get out of a huge contract. Like the Smith trade for Baltimore. He's only 25 and leading the NFL in tackles. Feel Chicago overpaid for Claypool a bit with the 2nd rounder. Like the deal for Minny to get Hockensen. Hope he doesn't play Sunday lol but bet he does. Pretty active period really in the league right before the trade deadline.

Agreed, and respect to him for the honesty. BUT wasn't Jackson touted as an excellent man cover guy? What in his resume had anyone thinking he'd be equally good in a mostly zone scheme? Hard to blame Jackson unless he talked himself up to the evaluators as a zone cover guy.
Everytime I saw Jackson in man he got burned. He can't make any plays on the ball. Idk where this talk about him being this man corner came from. He can't play man or zone. He's just a corner with decent speed and zero ball skills.

It was another poorly thought out personnel decision by gm Ron. He said so himself. Please make a GM top priority for the future.

Following the trade on Tuesday, the #Dolphins and LB Bradley Chubb agreed to terms on a 5-year, $119M extension.
Theres your bench mark for Montez Sweat

I don't believe Sweat is in the position to ask for similar money, he isn't on the same level as Chubb is.

Their stats are pretty similar, but Sweat has been arguably more impactful (and more available) over the last four years than Chubb, and he didn't have Von Miller on the other end of the DL for half his career.
He will definitely get the same money or more.
