For example one way CBs get better at this by putting a hand on the receiver as long as they have good speed to get a feel for when the ball is coming, particularly the hands.. or if they have a hand on them really good CBs are able to whip the head around and shadow the WR while locating ball. Tyson doesn’t do any of this. We saw him make a good play on the ball in the browns game, but he was never turned around. That’s his downfall, just like in that same game he got turned around and put on a highlight.

We can hope it gets coached up, but it was his wrap for 3 years at Georgia. Everyone knows this. It’s been the biggest downfall for him forever, and against pro WR he better figure this out quick or he will be on “you got mossed” weekly. Because right now he’s 2/2.

For the record, I sure hope it does work out. He’s got the speed and size.

Oh...

So are we backpedaling from INSTINCTS!! to INSTINCTS/COACHABILITY??

We'll see, I guess. Seems like a very coachable element of technique to me vs an instinctive trait that can't be unlearned.

It seems like that is a very coachable thing, only it persisted long enough to be on his scouting reports, long enough to push him out of the first round, and it still hasn't been corrected after two preseason games.

I can understand the "backpedal" you perceive.

Because if this has been an issue identified in scouting reports, and it has yet to be fixed, fans will wonder why.

The scouts had all of the college film on him. The coaches film every practice and every game. If there were technique errors to be found, why weren't they corrected by now? Yes, CBs sometimes need developing like young players at every position.

But that's an unusual CB flaw to not have been corrected over all this time, don't you think?

Not sure Baalke has a great track record of drafting WRs.

Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
