As far as his coverage skills go, i think he's fine. Not great, but NFL caliber for sure.
But he's not a stud at playing the ball. He's slow to get his head around and he doesn't have a fast break to the ball like Peters does.
He's not a guy that's going to get you turnovers.
So if you're a poor tackler and not a ballhawk, what does that make you?
It means your a guy who can run with receivers, which is what i've been saying for weeks now.
But if Gaines is going to be "THE" guy, opposite Peters, then he needs to work on those things. Stop ****ing making excuses for him. "oh....but his coverage". His coverage has been aight...it's not like he's some shut down guy....It's competent, adequate coverage. But as PFF has shown, he's far from some stud cover corner.
Elite D's have corners who can play coverage and come up for run support. Look no further than our division for that.
