From watching CRob throughout this season, he very rarely makes a mistake in zone coverage. Maybe not as consistent as we would like, however when it's time to pick up the TE on the seam .. he picks him up. I may sound like a Robertson homer but the man is in on a ton of tackles.

But circle back to Stephone for a moment. His overall lack of awareness in coverage is alarming. There were plays where he left zone/man & went off into a "twilight zone" where there were no receivers within 5 + yards, resulting in wide open catches

. I'm not sure which tv announcer said but I'm paraphrasing here ... "#50 is out there in no mans land covering the grass". This is why I continue to comment on SA and his lack of coverage skills.

He still looks awkward in space

He is. Ryan was going from a 4-3 to a 3-4 which I think suits Anthonys strenghth to a tee. Coverage is not his strong suit. Stuffing holes and blitzing is what he would do best, shoring up the middle against the run.
