I’ve seen multiple tweets now saying he wasn’t targeted but it looks like he was targeted in the 2nd tweet. Does the flag on Poyer nullify it in the stat sheet?

If the penalty on Po was accepted then yes. Unless Po’s penalty was a personal foul

I posted these in the injury thread but thought they deserved their own thread:

 

1st video is his textbook tackle on the screen. Quick recognition of the play, the athletic ability to immediately transition and trigger downhill, perfect technique for a smaller CB to lay a hit stick. He knocked that receiver out of the game.

 

2nd video is a few man coverage reps. He locks down his WR on all of them. Has the natural speed to stay in the hip pocket while running across the field and the awareness to run the route for his WR on a couple of these. Seems to have a really good feel for when to play inside or outside leverage.

 

3rd video is one zone coverage rep (Hairston is at the bottom of the screen). He shows great eyes and awareness on this one. Confirms the flat route is bottled up, feels the crossing route coming in his direction and gets in position to cap it, then gets his eyes to the backline and looks ready to explode to the WR coming open late in the play.

 

I don't want to over-hype a player based off of 12 reps but this is some really advanced stuff for a rookie in his 1st game. Hopefully the coaching staff saw enough to make him the full time starter opposite of Benford. We'll need him versus KC's speedy WRs.

 

This thread hits like craaaack, thank you!!!

Thanks very much for collecting these, Happy Days. 

 

Great stuff, very promising.

That would have been awesome if Elam would have played to his draft status to have 2 #1 picks as CB's but I guess you can't win them all at least Benford stepped up and hopefully can play to his contract .

 

They could be a good duo for years to come !!

Two man in this clip. He swaps responsibility with the Safety because of the shallow in by 1 across the field. Safety comes out of the roof and he becomes the deep half player. Otherwise, really good breakdowns and definitely a promising start for Hairston.

Too many of our DBs/LBs are content to stay home in the middle of their zone, then too slow to react to routes coming their way until the ball is already caught.

 

If that was Tre in coverage, that's a TD on the crosser.

 

Tre White has made multiple plays coming off his first priority over the years.

He's shown a very solid knack for it at times.
