  1. For those that said he isn't great at either, the guy didn't give up a single pass over 20 yards all year, zero touchdowns given up last year.  Two time all american.  That is pretty elite from a CB.

     

    The guy has a history of playing safety, both in college and high school, so its not that he is a complete novice at either position. He had excellent coaching from Phil Parker at Iowa.  Just take a look at all the defensive backs currently in the pros from Iowa.  Also, is an excellent returner. 

     

    My biggest worry would be his late season injury and even though most people recover these days, it may be a 2 year process before he is himself.

    They did hire a new coach for the corners (addae), and there is a new defensive coordinator in place (babich).  Previous secondary coach John Butler was also the "passing game coordinator", and Elam's post-season comments seemed to indicate that they may have butted heads a bit.  

    What comments did Elam make after the season?

  3. I don't think there is any doubt in my mind that they could win it this year. The team was 3 dropped passes where if one of those was completed, one off balanced throw to an open receiver and a missed routine fg away from beating this year's super bowl winner. 

     

    We gain big pieces back on defense, and I truly don't think the receiver losses hurt them all that much.  Better injury luck and hit on a receiver in the draft and I think they are in good shape.

  4. I follow Iowa closely because my dad went there.  I watched most every game he played in.  He is a gamer. Just a really good football player.  He will find a way to be a started for ten years.  I don't think we will be upset in the long run at all.  He can provide return ability, play safety, slot corner, outside corner.  You find a way to get him on the field. 

     

    To get an idea of his athleticism watch his dunk videos. 

  5. When I saw this, I thought obviously fake.  It doesn't change the fact that he seems to be a head case. 

     

    He is not doubt talented, but when I read the article about him writing messages in nail polish for different games, I thought huge red flags in terms of being a leader of men.  

  6. We might actually keep one of our late round dbs. The last few have been getting getting signed like wildgoose and Austin, who I liked, from last year.  Hopefully, they find another diamond in the rough like Benford and sit behind Douglas for a year or two.  Unfortunately, I don't think Elam will be consistent enough in the scheme. 

  7. From what I have seen there is marginal improvement when it comes to stats. The thing that I feel Brady has done a lot better job with is adjusting to the game as it is played. This has allowed for them to win ugly games when it has been called for, but has also put up some big yards and scores when that is the way it was played. 

     

    I do think that he has done enough to earn the job for next year.

  8. Unless Siemian has been completely broken,  I would give him a shot.  I remember watching him early on with the broncos and he played pretty well.  A lot better than what they have gotten out of Boyle or Wilson.  I know he had 3 fumbles, but that was also trying to get some of rust out of actually taking his again. 

     

    All of it is pretty dire and none of the options are good.
