Damn. That sucks. Good thing Hurts excels at handling pressure.
I mean…. If 26 doesn’t end his career here, the anger sharks are gonna start swimming….

telling you... don't overlook the relationship between those two guys. The last time we had DBs that had a tight relationship was lito/sheldon. drafted together, rookies together, lockdown DBs together. that's one thing that I think Howie is doing really well lately: drafting players that can bond and build a relationship. from the same university (Georgia players), drafting the same position in the same draft... look at Smith/Carter/Davis on the DL (with Ojomo being drafted in the same Carter/Smith draft)
essentially, there's a growing sentiment of relationship all around the D, and I like it
Kinda seeing it on the O as well. Jalen and Devonta playing together at Bama. Jalen and AJ being very close personal friends. Calcatera playing with Jalen at OU.
Didn't Dip Kelly try to do the same thing attempting to bring all his Oregon players in? Granted Howie > Dip and hope it works out better. Go Birds!!
FWIW I really liked this package on Sunday, QB under center, FB (Lber) SB at TB plus no analytics needed! Run the ball down their throats!

i think there's a big difference between, trying to bring in all your players, vice bringing in teammates from a generational defense, or drafting CBs with the top 2 picks. Kelly tried to reach for a ton of dudes (I remember hearing that he wanted Taylor Hart in the 2nd and ended up getting told no because it would be wildly over-drafted and they got him in the 5th anyway)
Listening to Zangaro and Roob on the Eagle Eye podcast, it sounded like BVS did a really good job. i really hope that's not a 1-off thing.
I listened to Didinger on WIP Monday. He seems convinced that DeJean's NFL future is at safety. There's a logjam now with CJGJ and Blankenship. They have lots of young DB options right now. You can never have too much depth as they learned last season.
don't forget sydney brown. i can see him and blankenship being the tandem moving forward. I'd like to see Ringo and Q at the outside, Coop at the slot, and Brown/Blankenship at S. that would be a NOICE DBfield.
