Emmanuel Forbes
 

It's apparent that he can not cover elite WRs.....he's just a rookie but he is very overwhelmed out there....

Is the problem talent or is it the coaching ? Forbes looks like a 5th round pick at best.

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

He is one player on a defense full of problems from top to bottom. It's not talent.

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

Can't draft players that high that weigh a buck sixty.

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

He needs coaching up. I'd suggest maybe losing Harris may have had a bigger than expected effect on this secondary.

He had a 2d round grade prior to the draft and we picked him over someone graded in the top 10 over all. He's playing like a CB that needs to learn for a bit before starting (ie like a 2d rounder). This shows that our GM sucks (oh and Gonzalez was playing like someone from the top 10 too). Skins really blew this last draft.

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

I would ask Darrell Green come in as a consultant and school all the CB’s.

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

Darrell Green hasn't played in over two decades. I'd prefer someone more in tune with todays game personally.

Try something else, give him more help in coverage or try him in the slot. His confidence must be shot right now.

You mean do what other teams do with their rookies?

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

Kids a rookie, he needs better support n coaching. Shit happens. Give em time.

You're right.....but the blown coverages and the
missed tackles suggests something is off with his game.

Christian Gonzalez should have been the pick

It's definitely the coaching.........

I agree.....this front office needs to be revamped.

Re: Emmanuel Forbes

The whole defense is terrible. The "vaunted" D-line is inconsistent at best, the LBs can't cover, can't tackle, or fill their gaps, the secondary is a sieve, and the communication is nonexistent. You expect a rookie to: 1. Come in and make an immediate difference? OR 2. Come in and be susceptible to the same bad coaching everyone else is getting?

He was benched.....hopefully that's his wake-up call...

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

There's not a big enough bench...

What is he supposed to wake up from? just curious

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

Our DB coach is a guy who was coaching a small catholic school a few years ago with zero NFL experience. It’s clear Ron wanted to take care of his boys before getting fired.
I’m going easy on forbes right now. They all looked back.

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

Forbes is still going to be good. I'm confident in that.

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

They gave the kid no safety help and he got eaten up.. he needs to get in the gym and workout in the off season if he wants to compete.

Re: Emmanuel Forbes
 

still early; I do agree he's had some bad plays that have hurt the team, but it's not like fuller hasn't had the same issue this year. Who exactly would we be benching him for?

A lot of what I've seen is more taking a chance on a ball (and ending up badly out of position to make a tackle) or biting on double moves (which most rookie dbs do).

We have definitely looked lackluster since Chris Harris moved on after last year. They should've promoted him since obviously he was doing a good job. Instead he's advancing his career with someone else.

Also lone bright spot from last two weeks:

I'm not concerned with Forbes yet. 5 games is way too early to give up on a rookie corner.
