I seem to remember Caldwell answering a question about Colvin in the little press briefing he did after each  draft selection. The question was about where he'd play. He said he'd compete to play ouside, IIRC. Anyone else remember that?  

 

Just from his draft profile and that comment from Caldwell, I highly doubt he'd take over nickel from Blackmon.  He'd probably have a shot to unseat Gratz or Ball.   I doubt they rush him out there.  Maybe he'll get a crack at it after the bye week when he may get some reps at practice.

 

 He also may just be seen as Ball's replacement next year.  (I think Ball is in the final year of his contract)

I remember that too.  That's why I think he's going to compete with Ball once he's healthy.

 

I keep wondering what's going on with McCray too.  I remember seeing him flash all over the field last preseason but haven't seen much of him since.

Thus far - it seems McCray hasn't been able to beat out Gratz or Ball, but he's filled in for Ball when he was hurt and replaced Gratz recently for a series or two when he was benched for bad play.  He may end up being solid depth or he may win one of those spots.  For a small school seventh rounder - that a'int bad.

By the time he plays it would be over 9 months since his injury. Don't think that's rushing him back. He'll be ok. Just like Blake won't die behind this line. Some over cautious fans of this team man. Wanna bubble wrap every player on the team for some reason. Chill out.

You must've been studying the wrong film. That's a decent statline for a late round cornerback on a potential Biletnikoff winner.

It was not on every play he covered him but he still beat him. Don't get me wrong Lockett is awesome

So why did he call Mathis a great shutdown corner?

Mathis was a shutdown Corner for about 3 years (say 05-07ish). And he may not quite have been Revis at his peak, but he was pretty dang good.

Peyton must store oxygen in that forehead of his. No way I'd still be alive after all that choking.

 

When the Jags had Stroud and Henderson, Mathis was a ball hawking interception machine.

He needs all of the rest and rehab he can get. Please dont rush him back.

Agreed completely here.

 

My gut tells me this is being considered primarily, if not exclusively, due to the awful struggles the secondary has had thus far.  I think had the pass defense not been a dumpster fire, I think Colvin stays inactive until next year.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Standard rehab for a torn ACL in football is a year.  Everybody's different.  Adrian Peterson came back after 9 months, but that dude is the exception not the rule.  

 

We have depth enough behind Gratz and Ball that rushing him back doesn't accomplish anything.  I hope he plays this year, but not if they're pushing his rehab.

---

As far as the "rushing" is concerned.  I'm sure having Ball, Gratz and McCray available will allow them to follow the doctor's guidelines and then some.

 

If one of those guys is hurt or under-performing by week 11 or so, then maybe they try to use him.  I seriously doubt they'd "rush" him though.

My point is the doctors and the team wouldn't put him on the field if he wasn't fully healthy. They say he's running around like crazy and vertical jumping on tables at this point and he's still not eligible to return yet. If he's out there he's ready to go for sure. Because we have depth doesn't mean they're good. I'm not impressed by no one in the secondary right now. If he's better than the others get him out there.

Even Richard Sherman will get beat if a receiver gets as many targets as Lockett did that game, man.

THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

Something tells me you'd be one to whine if Colvin went in and reaggravated his injury.

Where did they say this? Id really like to read

I think they were talking about it on Jaguars Today.

Something tells me I wouldn't give a damn either way regardless of what happens to him. It's football, people get hurt. Why would I say play him and then whine if he gets hurt afterwards? You just like to hear yourself talk don't you?

Yes, but that's beside the point.

---

I thought he was brought in to take Balls place, but now I'm not so sure. I just rewatched the Colts game and Luck only threw towards Ball twice. One was a screen that Ball blew up for a loss and the other was a touchdown from the one yard line. We need to pay him. We may need to pay him soon before it costs too much. Now I think he'll be better served competing with Will Blackmon.

---

I hope they don't rush him back. I wonder if he'll play special teams.

Lol really rushing him back isn't a question, these people do this for a living.. And i highly doubt they drafted one of the best cb in college last year to play special teams seeing how weak our secondary has looked!
