Derwin James wants to play in the NBA. Maybe that explains why he is under-achieving in the NFL?

lmao...you certainly have your agenda. It doesn't say he wants to play in the NBA. It said if he wasnt playing in the NFL, he might be suiting up with LeBron. No different than Gates saying the same thing.Originally posted by Velo View Post
C-Mon Velo, why are you so hell bent on taking Derwin down?Comment

Thank you! The offense and special teams were equal partners with the entire defense in letting the W slip away. Opportunities were missed by all.Originally posted by gzubeck View PostComment

It's June. No big deal. I enjoyed reading this, though.
2. Justin Herbert continued to air it out during team drills. On Tuesday, Herbert had quite a bit of success targeting Mike Williams and Keenan Allen on back shoulder and deep throws. On Wednesday, the defense punched back and came up with a few splash plays in coverage in the deep part of the field.
The first such play came on the third play of seven-on-seven. Herbert lofted a deep shot down the sideline to Williams with Ja’Sir Taylor in tight coverage. Williams usually thrives in these jump-ball situations. But Taylor battled Williams for position and forced the incompletion.
Later in the same period, Herbert attempted another jump ball, this time to receiver Keelan Doss down the left sideline. The timing felt slightly off on the play after a Herbert pump fake. Michael Davis was in tight coverage on Doss and forced the incompletion.
In the next period, Herbert tried to hit Williams on a back-shoulder throw down the right sideline, similar to the completion he had to Williams in Tuesday’s practice. Asante Samuel Jr. was aggressive in coverage on Williams, jockeying for position. And Herbert’s pass fell incomplete.
Then came perhaps the best play of the spring so far — at least of the practices open to media. Herbert unleashed a go ball to Allen down the left sideline. Derwin James Jr. was in coverage. Both players jumped for the ball. James was in front of Allen. James reached his right hand up, snatching the ball with one hand and ripping it away from Allen. It was an outrageous interception and further proof that James is one of the truly special defensive players in the league.
The offense made plays, too, but it was nice to read about the secondary showing something at times.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. The funniest thing about this is that Velo tried to use PFF to show that last year James was overrated but now that it has him ranked as the best safety in the league....crickets.Originally posted by Boltjolt View PostComment

Or that makes Velo’s point. These are pre season rankings. Aka hype. Like the way the Chargers were hyped around this time last year. We’ll see if Derwin lives up to it or ends the season ranked #10 by PFFOriginally posted by richpjr View PostComment

Derwin ranked #1, regardless of when, doesn't make Velo's point. PFF may be right or wrong, they certainly are not agreeing with him.Originally posted by jamrock View Post“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”Comment
