Re: Trey Hendrickson ties Aaron Donald for NFL sacks lead, on fewer snaps
Is that because you think it’s harder to find a good corner Major ?

Not many corners can lock down threats on Sundays. If I was GM, Latt and Ramz would be high priorities for me to sign long term. |

Re: Trey Hendrickson ties Aaron Donald for NFL sacks lead, on fewer snaps
If we keep Lattimore, it's likely we'll have to pay him like he's a true #1 corner. But is he though?
His PFF grades: 2017 87.7 (ranked 8/97) 2018 71.7 (29 of 87) 2019 68.7 (32 of 97) 2020 51.9 (97 of 124) Food for thought. FYI, he graded out miserably versus KC last week. |

KC has a tendency to do that to just about every DB. Still think he gets signed over Trey, but hey all we need is a little Loomis magic...

Re: Trey Hendrickson ties Aaron Donald for NFL sacks lead, on fewer snaps
Well, I see Major’s point about difficulty to replace. It hasn’t been uncommon for, say a Junior Gallete, to excell for a season or 2. Especially when the depth has been there like the last few years.

That kick to CJG sucked too, speaking of injuries.

Re: Trey Hendrickson ties Aaron Donald for NFL sacks lead, on fewer snaps
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.
So what about the rest of his consistently bad season?
I'm ragging on Lattimore because I know we will likely re-sign him and it's going to take a lot of money to do so. He's been underachieving and we'll have to pay him like an elite corner out of necessity, not because he's is one. |
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
All little common sense goes a long way. |
