Jourdan Lewis and Jabril Peppers are only difference makers in college. Lewis is just too small for NFL WR's, and Peppers has bad ball skills [to date this season: zero pass breakups. To date in his college career: Zero INT's] His best comparison is Deone Buccannon, hybrid LB-S.

Buccannon was actually a difference maker in college on the defensive side of the ball.
I'm beginning to view Lewis as an elite slot prospect, maybe a decent #2. Similar to Buster but with a more physical streak to his game. Obviously everybody from here to Mars knows my stance on Peppers.
What I saw of King last night I liked. He looks like one of those compact, hard hitting corners. First player that came to mind in comparison was Hargreves (spell check) from Tampa.

Speaking of things blowing my mind...
Per PFF, from week 4 to the present, Paz is the #1 RT in the NFL. NUMBER ONE. He also grades as the #9 tackle overall.

Big deal made about missed tackles for #DawgPound
. Not as bad as it seems: 11.9% MT rate, 13th best in NFL.Follow up tweet:
If it's broken down (by position our Safeties) ... rate: 5th worst at 17.4% MT rate.
Well.... looks like a draft target is confirmed and a major, general bitch is unfounded... or at least minimized.

It seems worse than it is statistically because other teams are consistently abusing our safeties because they suck. I bet if you calculated another statistic, points scored after missed tackles, we'd look like the worst in the league.

Every week we are playing at least three guys in the secondary who are basically practice squad players. Ogbah, Nassib, and Schoebert are tricked easily. They're rookies.
We'll get through this. Just chomp down hard for six more games.

That's what I'm thinking too. Brutal to watch now, but things should be much better next season.

As you've probably read... I agree. There is, however, a little "me me me" alarm that King manages to set off when I watch him.. at least this year. I don't remember that in past years.
Not necessarily a disqualifier, but is an alarm.
-
My guess is you'll see that in a lot of corners. PFF loves them some King.
-
ok so has PFF officially now jumped the shark for you guys? Like seriously announcers laugh during the replays of our preposterous attempts at tackling the ballcarrier. But don't worry guys, PFF has us rated as decent tacklers..it's all a mirage. OMFG i hate PFF. Seriously how any of you take those clowns seriously anymore. We know what we're seeing every sunday. Trust your eyes. Trust the reality of the outcomes so far. We're going 0-16 and our QB's are getting mauled as hard as tehy ever have. PFF is trolling the Cleveland fanbase hard. Paz the #1 RT in football...omfg someone needs beaten. Holy fuck. Hey look that RT got a hand on his edge rusher that time...he's really good. Totally the QB's fault for holding the ball .8 seconds can't put that on the OL.

Lighten up Francis...
PFF rates us middling at tackling only compared to the league...
And Paz was playing better... especially run blocking and handling pure speed rushes in PassPro. BLT exposed his susceptibility to the inside move. We'll see if that continues.

Not a PFF fan myself.
Their ratings have to be taken into context like everything else. There is no definitive 'stat' that makes any one player good at their position.

I went through the first half of our drives, focusing almost exclusively on the OL (and seeing what happened to corey coleman), and basically the conclusion is, the other four guys on the line will get beat here and there but generally hold their own, while Cam is consistently turning around, giving the 'look out block' and then is the first to help Crow or whoever to his feet.
There was one play, I forget which, where there's a DT lined up in the A gap to Cam's right; he snaps the ball, and lunges to the defender; defender's first step is sideways away from Cam, and he goes unabated to the backfield; meanwhile, Cam is literally sprawled out on the floor. I'll see if I can find the play later.
As for other things - Kessler doesn't seem to be taking what's there at this point, as if he's wanting other things to develop. One play, a first and ten, and he has the receiver open for maybe a seven yard yard. Throw, catch, pick up the yards, put yourself in manageable position of 2nd-and-3. Instead, he waits to see what happens downfield, the receiver gets covered, so he rolls out to his right (wrong way), and forces it to Telfer or someone, behind the LoS, who is then dropped for a three yard loss.
Another time (could even be the same play) the lines parts like the red sea in front of him. He could have picked up five yards before the nearest defender gets close, and instead he bails out round the back of the pocket and we lose yardage again.
On Coleman, it seems like he's getting open, but the throw just isn't being made, or he isn't being led to gain extra yards. His first catch was so high (and slightly late) he had to go up and high point it, despite it just being a seven yard comeback/hitch. If it's in his belly, he can get the ball with half a step more, maybe make the defender miss and pick up chunk yardage.

Found it, Q1, 5:32 to play. Crowell for -2 yards. Here:
PreSnap
First step/lunge
Second step/fall over
Cam's guy gets the tackle
For those wondering, #78 is Michael Pierce, a UDFA out of Samford (not Stanford).
Suggs is coming around the edge unblocked but by the time the tackle is made, Crow is ahead of him, as Suggs is apparently designated to cover Hogan on the read option.
Another day, another Erving whiff.

A tab of acid would help with this mind blow.

Nice... and love the "spoiler" unveiling...
The frame above says it all. Brings the old, Sesame Street bit to mind: "One of these things is not like the others".
Feet together... bent waist... head down... apparently groping for power contact he will never find while the rest of the line seems to be forming a ZBS conga line where every OL needs to at least chip his opposite to set up his compadre' coming from their left.
There are other failures to point out as well in this and other stills, e.g., Greco gets stacked by #90, but Cam's is the most egregious fail.
I would like to point out how much further Joe T has moved to his assignment. His "get off the ball" is so exceptional... compare it to the TE... and the Center. At least the TE has the excuse of distance from the ball...

That is how he hurt himself.....he tried to plow head down, head first to make a block. The defender simply stepped aside and allowed Erving's own momemtum to power dive himself, head first into the dirt.
Is this not something that can be coached out of him....or is he hopelessly useless?
-
Can it? Sure... any bad habit can be coached out of a player given enough time and reps.
Will it? Doubtful... the CBA-limited-practice-time NFL is just not structured for remedial education. But why should it be? You can't get more basic than "see what you hit".
Does it matter/ would it do any good? I don't think so. Cam reacts so slowly... and you can't coach reaction time.
