Hell, even the young safeties are playing well in Conner and Cook.

Also, is Johnson a Safety, Corner, or both?

He's probably a DB but in reality he's more ST player than anything.

Fair, but he's been running with the 1's all camp over Watson and Williams.

I believe that's because they know he's making the team so Spags wants to see if he has any defensive value.

It probably wouldn't be "great" if Toub wanted to keep Johnson, Connor, BJ Thompson and Nic Jones and Spags thought none of them provided anything on defense. I mean hell Deon Bush played like 70% of the ST snaps last year so it'll be interesting to see the battle between those 2 coaches on who stays.

You keep saying this, but the day before he got reps with the 1s, he broke up multiple passes and apparently had a great practice, so it seems more like he earned those reps.

I wonder what he possibly showed that would allow this at such an early point in TC

jared Allen couldn’t even show his worth during tc and only got a chance due to random luck.

This sounds like a viable option. Also both 3rd db had poor pff grades despite their big play moments

Maybe he did, but either way he's 99.9% to make the team for ST so it's important to find out if he can contribute on defense also.

Right, but reps with the 1's are a premium. They could discern that from letting him run with the 2's.

JPH83 07-26-2023 02:12 PM

Nazeeh Johnson has been my irrational sleeper candidate/crush from way back. Admittedly it was based entirely on him looking good on a few ST plays and someone saying he ran a sub 4.4, but I'm going to keep claiming it as pure scouting acumen. Unless he's on the practice squad, and then f*** that bum obviously.

He's not gonna be on the PS though, because he's going to be a baller.

I agree.

Man we have so many DBs. Kinda gutting to know some will be swiped, but either way we really should have some quality emerging from them.

BleedingRed 07-26-2023 02:15 PM

Justyn Ross is going to make the team, and I think hes going to be starting X receiver week 1. Book Mark.......... before i delete
