Um.......thanks for clarifying, no.... answering,.... your ongoing, whiny question.
I hope you feel better now...
Now, if you go back to the beginning of this thread, Roy asked me if I thought Earl Thomas could be our CB. I disagreed, saying he's , you guessed it, undersized
and doesn't have great cover skills needed to defend at the next level.
I still think he'll be a fine FS and would love to have him on our team, but knowing Kubiak's preferences, that probably won't happen. We could really use his playmaking abilities in the secondary, but Coach is probably gonna want his FS to help in run support. I don't think he'd be opposed to that, but he struggled against arguably the best running game in the country in the championship game.
Second, I think we all know the prototypical NFL FS is over 6' and 200 lbs, Noone is arguing that point, well .....almost.
Next, I showed you a scouting report stating he was clearly a FS, clearly undersized, and clearly very competent to play his position, all while not having great cover skills.
I never said he didn't have the size to play CB, I said he didn't have the size
or the cover skills to play CB at a high level. He looks at his best at FS where he can roam and make plays.
Don't misled or misquote people here based upon your assumptions.
I know what I said and stand by it 100%.
Also, have you watched this kid play?? This kid
brings it every down.
You might want to rethink your earlier comment
"If he is truly too small for CB then we definitely don't want him at FS."
