Rc2catch Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 6 minutes ago, HappyDays said: It's him or Ingram, right? Unless Jackson has already fully recovered. Between a reserve UDFA that they basically just pulled from a local college and a veteran that's new to the team but has played a lot of games in zone coverage I imagine they'll take the veteran. Frazier is familiar with Rhodes, I think he's more than just a body. Yeah I’d rather have the vet myself. But it’ll probably just depend on what kinda shape he’s in. Or if he can get in game shape in just a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Rhodes has some ability or at least had...up to the Bills coaches to get it out of him. If anyone can its them.

I think he'll be ready to go this weekend, I mean he'll have to be. We have no other options on the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Y'all joking, but he can be the Kelce stopper we've been needing on this team if he's healthy and in shape.

Too late in the season to make that switch but he should honestly consider it. He has the size and that's a good way to try and extend his career since corner is a young man's game and with his experience and knowledge he would probably be a ball hawk back there 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather sit him this week so he can get back into game shape. The Ravens receiving corp aren't world beaters, with the exception of Mark Andrews. If rushed into action it may make him more susceptible to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're picking between a somewhat out of game shape Rhodes and Ja'Marcus Ingram I'm still taking Rhodes. Ingram is not someone we can count on for a whole game, he was just our emergency option last week. Maybe Jackson is further along than I think and all of this will be moot anyways. Even in that scenario I would still elevate Rhodes for this game just to have the option available. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 If you’re forced to pick from the scrap heap then I guess he isn’t the worst choice. The guy is washed but the realistic standard is to outplay Cam Lewis. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Happy to see him signed today. Didn’t have a good feeling about it happening if he left town. what’s up with Cam Lewis? Is he strictly a S/slot now? I figured he would’ve taken the snaps at corner over Ingram. Or Neal? Is he strictly slot? Is Ingram really a better option than either of these guys who have been in the system for a few years? Maybe we found a Diamond in the rough.

Doc Brown Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Solid veteran depth signing. For those interested, last year he gave up 41 receptions on 65 targets for 524 yards with a QB passer rating of 92.1. For comparison, Levi Wallace gave up 55 receptions on 92 targets for 650 yards with a QB passer rating of 85.9. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 He'll be fine. He isn't a rookie, and he knows the league. I'm looking forward to having a veteran out there on the corner. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassgixxer05 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 He was talked about back before camp. He hasnt fell off like most on here are saying. He still played solid last 2 years in indy just not probowl level. Can use a good solid CB right now.

Leinart was signed for the sole purpose of having a warm body for the last preseason game of that season and fulfilled that role. Boldin was expected to contribute, retired out of nowhere claiming that it was for social justice and then tried to sign with New England later that year until we blocked it due to having the rights to him.

SydneyBillsFan Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I am not sure about Rhodes current fitness level and whether he fits our scheme but if there is one part of our roster I have full faith that McD and Frazier will get right it is the secondary. And it is unlikely that we will get a repeat of last Sunday in terms of carnage anytime soon. I am far more concerned about the IOL. All that said - welcome to Buffalo Xavier! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
