stevewin Posted September 8 Posted September 8 With all the craziness of the game this has gotten kind of buried IMO. It's remarkable an unheralded 6th rd rookie made his first start against an elite top offense in the league, in the biggest game of the new year in primetime, and did not stick out as a liability at all. He quietly also beat out Ingram (and sent another veteran Jackson to the PS). Will be interesting to see what happens when Tre gets back 1 4 1 Quote

bigduke6 Posted September 8 Posted September 8 he didnt really get beat, and he actually tackled Henry. thought he played well considering. actually a bright spot for me. makes me feel better about our CB depth. 1 Quote
Simon Posted September 8 Posted September 8 1 hour ago, 34-78-83 said: Strong got killed on crossers throughout the game. Besides that he was decent, and did make a nice save on Henry. He had a tough time navigating traffic at times; really hesitant to attack routes early in the play. I thought the entire defense was like that though, spending waaaaay too much time diagnosing Baltimores wide variety of mesh points instead of making a decisive read and getting after it... except Epenasa of course, lol I'd probably hold Babich more responsible for that hesitancy than I do most of the players. 1 1 Quote

Pretty impressive 6th round pick! 1 Quote

TheyCallMeAndy Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Uncle Tre can take as long as he needs to heal up, definitely want to see Strong get more reps. Imagine having 2 legitimate CBs who had been 6th round picks. 1 Quote

He probably only had 10-15 snaps, but he again got caught crashing hard down the line right at the snap while Jackson waltzed through the massive hole he'd just vacated. Quote

Or maybe I just memory holed some of those plays. oh he was definitely on the field. i watched him get faked out terribly by Jackson a bunch of times. one was so bad that he completely went down the line after the RB who didnt have the ball as Jackson went right by him for a long run. was not a good night for AJ.

TheyCallMeAndy Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Getting way ahead of myself: If Strong is competent and when Max is healthy, I wouldn't be horribly surprised if Tre was released and added to the practice squad (the role I thought he'd have this year). How often does the healthy CB4 dress if they don't play special teams? Ingram would be the active CB4 on gameday. 2 minutes ago, Simon said: He was, but I thought he at least learned from it quickly and adjusted as the game went on. One play in Q4 stands out, showed some agility I didn't realize he had! 1 Quote

That isn't out of left field, but they'd have to release a vet from the practice squad to do it. If he's healthy I think I'd rather see him dressed before Strong for at least this year. Quote
