    Just think about how good Derwin could be if this D can actually stay healthy and we get help at FS (Adderley). The video was great and all... I appreciate the post and the watch.... but while Derwin made impact plays throughout the year... his ability to blitz virtually disappeared halfway thru the season. Having a guy who can truly cover centerfield will really allow Gus to release his hound.

      Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

          I love Derwin's mindset. he comes in this year and says he hasn't done a thing yet and has to go earn it all over again. No all-pros have been picked and nobody has made a play. (Paraphrasing here ...)

          The dumbed evaluation I've read since his draft was by Marvez who when asked how good James could be said "Rodney Harrison good". Sorry bud, but Rodney couldn't even carry Derwin's jock. No offense to Rodney, who over achieved what his physical skills could provide - but he had 1/4 the game that Derwin had, and that's the 1/4th that the league has basically outlawed. He was late to plays and brought lumber. He had lousy hands but couldn't cover anyway so it didn't matter very much. He was a run support safety, basically, who would play CF on pass plays to bring a hit after the catch.

          Derwin >>> Rodney, it is not even remotely close.

              Some of those box safety snaps should be counted as LB.

                The nuiances of how they count nickel CB, box S and DL are probably beyond most of us. And in some defenses, any of those spots could be considered LB alignments too.
