our new Middle Linebacker
After game 1, what's the consensus on Corey Mays?
he certainly wasn't blowing up folks. Got owned by Todd Heap a couple of times. Seemed to look a little lost on the goalline plays where he should have destroyed. I grade him less than fair, better than Boiman. thoughts? gifs? |

I certainly didn't hear his name called as much this game as we have during the preseason. Hopefully it was a one-time deal and he'll continue to improve.

Derrick Johnson, hopefully, will work his way out of Haley's doghouse....and be an improvement...

I thought he had a poor game. He pulled up short on at least two blitzes; missed tackles; appeared to miss his gap assignment more than once; and did NOT look even close to "good" in pass coverage. I was hoping for better after his preseason performance. Somehow I doubt he's a starter on most NFL teams. Sorry for the negative vibe, but he was a big let down today. Maybe my expectations were too high.

It doesn't matter if DJ works his way out. He'll play the Mike. Mays is the Ted backer. Belcher is Mays' backup for all intents and purposes.

No, he's not. His #1 weakness is taking on blockers, and on interior running plays, the Ted frees up the Mike to make the tackle.

Discipline, not ability, is his real short-coming IMHO. Hopefully that's what Haley's demotion of him to third string was all about....because properly focused and motivated, he's a very capable all-around LB. Herm just accepted his lazy ass attitude and lack of focus....because of the occasional flashes he shows, and in the end he did DJ a horrible disservice because of it.

His #1 knock coming out of college was an inability to shed blockers. He's shown it time and time again in run defense for 4 years.
