I usually like Borquez. He’s made big improvements as a Charger beat writer, but I just don’t understand his logic on this one.
He quotes Staley saying:
“He [Nas] can see in the deep part of the field. He’s smooth. He’s got a lot of DB traits for us. We really think that he’s a smooth athlete. We think he’s going to be a good fit for how we want to play.”
Then Borquez goes ahead and posits the exact opposite:
“Staley believes that he will be able to make full use of him by utilizing his versatility, where he can be flexed in the slot (Star) and fill a sub-package safety-linebacker hybrid role (Money).
While he has the athleticism and range to play in the deeper parts of the field, Adderley’s instincts, short area quickness and ball skills could go a long way closer to the line of scrimmage.”
What gives, Borquez?? Anyone who watched a single game last year should know that tackling isn’t Nas’ strong suit.
Why would they want him near the LOS?..or god forbid, a hybrid LB?
Let Derwin do that.
Am I wrong?
