Nas Adderley Should Be Playing In Space

[CivilBolt]

Absolutely. Had a nice breakup deep against the Chiefs in the endzone, had a pick against the Steelers, and several more PBUs while playing deep S. James can do it all. Just what an innovator like Staley needs. James is such a transformative player that him being hurt may have been a blessing -- with him on the field, the Chargers probably win 2-3 more games, Gus looks a lot better, Lynn is retained.

Staley calls DJ a ‘multiplier’. He increases their chances to win.

True. His instincts are off the chart and his energy is infectious. He elevates the play of those around him. If the pass rush is struggling, play him near the LOS. If the secondary is struggling, play him in space, or have him bury the TE. One of my favorite things about James is his sure-tackling, a lost art for our safeties last year.

Hopefully he gives Samuel a pointer or two. He tackles too low sometimes. With his smaller size, the bigger NFL receivers will just hurdle over him.

but he cant tackle a bigger receiver up high either...be harder to bring the receiver down when tackling high.

I think Samuel will be fine. As a former undersized HS cornerback, I can attest that is what we are taught to do. He doesn’t do it every time, by the way.
But tackles can be missed by going high, too, and a guy like Samuel can just get trucked by a bigger player. He is not going to be a form tackling, pile driving hitter like James but he can still effectively get the runner to the ground or slow them up for reinforcements. He’ll be taught by his position coach to clean up any left over problems he does have from college.

If you watch college highlights of Kenneth Murray you will see a lot of him tackling real high, like head and neck level. But he does not do that in the NFL.

Speaking of Murray, who else is excited to see him, Bosa and James all on the field at the same time?

He’s gonna have to go mid. Mid-low but not low. And not high. Don’t go high or you might get trucked. Go mid

Tranquill too. I like his abilities. Seems like a guy that can do everything. I just hope he comes back good as new. James too.

I like traq. He is smart and plays faster than his 40-time. Better version of Teo but with a real wife :whistlin:
