I find myself being a WJ3 defender bc everything pointed to him being a good physical corner. he checked a big box for us.
one valid defense .. he excelled at man playing up on his guy in Cincy .. and we use our corners in zone off the LOS.
I only got to watch the 4Q and didnt get to pause, rewind etc this game so I dont know what we were asking our outside corners to do but we didnt play a lot of man last year. We signed a really good physical man corner ... and we play him in soft zone. Why even sign him if we were going to square peg a circle thing with him?
he reminds me of breeland. a good physical corner, always around ball but guys seem to make contested catches on him. hes in position, just a fingernail short at times.

Quick scroll through first half highlights .. on D plays shown, we played tight man on outside to start game then every D formation shown was outside corners playing 10 yards off
Lots of soft zone by outside corners per the highlights
