NFL 2014

[Blindgreed1]

There's been a few snippets dropped about the special teams gunner (Nolan Caroll) that we picked up from the Dolphins challenging Fletcher and Williams for a starting spot at corner. From what I gather, he's a contender.

Fletcher and Williams aren't exactly big names in the CB department - Fletch from a mediocre Rams defense and Williams a backup for the Ravens. They have the skillset these coaches are looking for tho. Carrol fits that same build. Good press corner, bigger dude, can interrupt timing of routes. If our safety play improves, the corners will do their thing.

I don't want to accuse anyone of faking an injury but I also don't want to see guys laying on the field gasping for air claiming they are hurt either. That shit was pissing me off last year but it's really difficult to hurl accusations when one doesn't know for sure. So when you see those guys out there doing that you can bet your ass Duchess is cussing a blue streak.

The best rule I could come up with to combat that was that every player brought out of the game for injury has to sit out the series. If a player walks off the field alone, no worries, but if trainers need to come onto the field to get him, then he should be medically evaluated for at least the rest of the series. I think it could even be considered safer to guard against concussions, and that's a hot ticket interest for the NFL execs.

32^nd in the league last year. And keep in mind that the Ravens were coming off a SB winning season. I think Roseman snatched them up as an offering of stability for Chip in the backfield more than anything else (neither has been anything close to shut down corners, but they weren't speed bumps either). I read that we're happy with Boykin in the slot, so it's down to those 3 for corner positions and Caroll has been pretty physical and being a gunner you know he has speed. Time will tell.
