    Is Jabari Greer the weakest link of the CB corps?

    Just throwing it out there. He tends to get burned from time to time. Am I wrong assuming this? Opinions please.

    Thanks Slick! He makes me nervous out there.

    Not sure where this is coming from. Greer has played very well so far this season.

        He does have a tendency to break down from time to time.

          everyone gets torched now and then. In a way, I think Youboty is nippin at Greer's heals.

            You might be right. If "Shake" Youboty's keeps improving, Greer will have alot to worry about.

              greer is doing well. if he is the weakest link, that's not a knock on him. that's means the nickel and dime CB's are really coming along.

                Greer is playing above his potential.

                The thing with CBs to remember is that they won't stop everyone 100% of the time. They do get burned on occassions. A good CB will have a short memory and can give you what you need on defense 95% of the time. The other 5% is excusable.

                  We have given up a long of like 22ish. Who has gotton burned again?

                  We are bringing the heat with more LBs, our corners have been playing stellar so far.

                    I knew all I'd have to do was throw that out there and it would catch on...

                      Greer's been solid so far this year.

                      Could the reason that McGee and Youboty are looking so good this year be that teams are keeping the ball away from Greer and trying to pick on the other CBs, therefore giving them more chances to make big plays? I'm not saying that is the case, but it could be.

                        Greer is, and has been, very solid. Good tackler too. I was surprised we took a corner #1 (and #4, and #7). I think Greer is very underrated, as is Kyle Williams IMO.....

                          Greer has turned it up a big notch...

                          I am really happy with him out there...

                            Greer is a very good corner. He is fast, positionally sound, and breaks on the ball well. I still think that Greer will eventually give way to McKelvin at some point. You don't draft a corner with the 11th pick unless you think he can be special.

                              I think the pecking order of our corners can be derived by what opposition offenses do.

                              Clearly, they are throwing more at Greer than McGee, but Greer seems to be holding up well.

                              The TD he gave up against Seattle was the result of a weak play on the ball. His coverage was outstanding.

                              Last week he looked great again, except that we were giving up the underneath short stuff on the outside.
                              That's on the scheme, not his ability, and it infuriates me on first/second down.

                              I think our corners and safetys have been the strong point of this D so far, with the D'line a close second.

                              I think it is also illustrative to look at what the Jags did when we were in nickel.
                              They went after Youboty, but underneath, and Youboty made plays that mae that strategy a failure.
                              That is telling.

                              It aint broke.
