Disagree 100%. The only knock on his CB skills was lack of top end speed. He’s already proven that’s a myth by chasing down a couple different speedsters.

He is exactly where most rookie CB’s are their 1st year.

So far his play has "playmaker" written all over him.

the knock on him isnt his top end speed right now

his problem is his ability(or lack of) in man coverage......he is doing great on special teams but that doesnt always translate to defensive production

currently he is the dime back and thats fine for now.....unfortunately we dont want our first round picks to all be busts so hes got to eventually step it up and prove he was worth it

i want him playing on defense as much as the next guy but hagan in right.....hes not ready yet

Hagan didn't say he wasn't ready yet (which most rookie CB's aren't), he said he wasn't ready by a long shot.

There's a difference between not ready, and not ready by a long shot.

If we hadn't signed Greer, he'd probably be starting, or at least getting a ton of time at nickel.
