Sneed is probably still the better option for jump balls, if stopping those is your objective, with his length. Optimally you’d like to **** up Chase’s route/timing to make Burrow look somewhere else or miss the throw but it is unlikely McDuffie will try to do that. At least he hasn’t shown it yet. Typically technique guys won’t muck it up. Don’t get me wrong, give me the technically sound guy every day of the week, but the reality is there aren’t a lot of good options for stopping jump balls to giant ass dudes that can jump out of a stadium. You just hope they revert to the mean, and everybody gets reminded why those don’t get thrown a ton (which we should be due).
But like I said, I’m a moron and probably wrong. It will be interesting to watch the new look secondary against these ****s.
