I know folks would love to see us get another CB before the deadline but if that doesn't transpire then my question is why can't we have faith in Joshua?
1. He's been in the system for two years already.
2. Has experience at the highest level and even has an interception in an AFC game.
3. All the physical tools are there. Height, good speed and quick feet. Can tackle
It's just a matter of seeing him get a run now and hopefully he can step up like Watson did.
Here are Joshua's PFF grades from last season.
He allowed 10 receptions for 80 yards on 236 coverage snaps. He was ranked the 36th best CB during the regular season.
In the playoffs he was the 8th ranked CB and allowed two catches.
No doubt playing backup snaps probably played a role in these rankings but they are encouraging nonetheless.
Against the Raiders he had some penalties but wasn't beaten much. Hope to see him put in a better performance on Monday.

He's an absolute liability in coverage. Has William Bartee syndrome.
