billsbackto81 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 They were just talking about this on Schoop and Bulldog yesterday. Sal was saying how impressive the safety depth has looked which didn't bode well for a Poyer extension with others like Edmunds, Knox and Oliver in the wings. Good to know but I'd rather see Jordan ball out if it's to be his last year here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as both safeties are post 30, and typically play in every game, we really need to see Jaquan and Hamlin in the preseason to get a sense of what we have there. They must really like them because they didn’t add a single player at the S position in the off-season. However nick McCloud has played some there in TC as well as benford. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great problem to have. Either we have great depth in case of injury or a great succession plan or both. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamlin has had a nice camp but when they have rotated in with the 1s it has been Jaquan. Nothing against Jaquan, but Hamlin is a future starter. He's extremely instinctive, more of a hitter/aggressive style of play and just a perfect fit IMO. Was shocked he wasn't a late 4th round pick last yr. I'm local to Pittsburgh, watched him and Dane quite a lot at Pitt. Knew Dane was a capable, solid player in our scheme. Just like I am very confident Hamlin would be a solid starter (if called upon). He's not all pro (at Poyers or Hydes level), but would be very ready to contribute when called upon. Pitt coverage schemes/safety assignments/etc were not nearly as complex as what we run and disguise. Hamlin needed a year to learn the scheme, but think he's passed Jaquan (jmo). Excited to see him and Jaquan in preseason 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 After reviewing the tape it looks like a hype extension. I will give him a doctors note for 3 weeks off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerDave Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) 7 hours ago, IronMaidenBills said: My major concern. I wasn’t concerned with the Hyde injury, but this feels different for multiple reasons. Pain in this general area normally only stems from something serious. Rarely will you have minor issues with visible pain in the elbow area. I don't know. Have you ever hit your funny bone? It's not very humerous/humurus....

Thank goodness it’s only a hyperextended elbow. About the only non serious thing that could exist with such pain symptoms. Just glad it wasn’t ligament issues. We dodged a bullet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However nick McCloud has played some there in TC as well as benford. whispers/rumors over the recent past suggest just that - they love both young guys (especially Hamlin) as eventual starting safeties and benford projects as a longer term convert to safety.

machine gun kelly Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I’ll worry about this in two weeks. Hyperextended elbows heal. It’s not an achilles. That is the one along with neck and back that scares me. Knees too. Broken bones, hyper extensions heal and no worries. Besides as everyone is saying, we have depth.

Excited to see him and Jaquan in preseason I like Hamlin too but the staff have a lot of faith in Jaquan. He is their kind of football player. Hamlin is more physically talented, of that there is little doubt, but Jaquan is smart, knows where to be, does his one 11th and is a good communicator. And he has an NFL start under his belt from last year. That is why I think he has still been the first guy in through camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime he has been given an opportunity he has made the most of it. The depth at safety is high quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Looked pretty painful hope it isn't something to bad but i think we have the depth to cover until he is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
