there's a rumor Dashon Goldson is going to be released by Tampon Bay! he could help solve our FS.

What's the feeling on Anthony Collins...played for Gruden in cincy and was pretty solid.

Yeah, John keim mentioned him and said he was absolutely terrible last year. I dunno, but we need a body there...i not opposed to bring in some guys to compete. Sometimes a change of scenery, coaching, and scheme can help

you can't just move any CB to safety and have it work. amerson would be terrible there. hall could do it, except he's TINY. 5'9", sub-200lbs, so you'd probably only get a few weeks before he hurts himself.

j johnson is interesting. he's been behind two very good players, backing up both spots, so he's only probably a garbage starter, with a small chance of being good. (the rest of the field has been verified as meh-terrible).

mrreddman · 03-13-2015, 11:25 PM

why is it you think Amerson would be terrible at FS. i do recall many draft experts saying that he would be a better S than CB at the time. He has the size and ballhawking skills to make the transition. Many CBs have done it over the years...why cant Amerson?

Amerson doesn't tackle or cover well at corner, why is he going to do those things any better at safety?

I still don't understand how he dropped off so hard. Couple years ago he looked like he had some mad potential and then last year it was like he failed to show up at all.

Sophomore jinx.

Hopefully we see Amerson rebound. Such a talented corner with great size. Still a real young guy who's obviously got some maturity issues, like a lot of 22 year olds. Hopefully he grows the F up and has a comeback year. Too early to give up on.

Agree with you . Not may young corers are going to look good without decent play at Safety , or a pass rush .

Work ethic, or lack thereof.

An assumption on your part or word of mouth?

If true, maybe correctable.

Just little bits from here and there on the grapevine. Questioning his work ethic is a little unfair on my part, maybe it's more just to say his maturity still needs work.

Hopefully he's learned from stuff like this
