This is my take;
what is yours? Really, would you resign him? If we desire13-3, and a top 3-8 defense, is he our #1 corner?
I am not a fan of his as #1 or #2 corner---he is not the type of corner I would want if the Rams are to 13-3 and challenge for the superbowl every year.. He is a good NFL player, and a good zone corner. But, he wouldn't last 4.5 seconds against Julio Jones 1 on 1,nor the likes of Ted Ginn, Davante Adams and dozens of others...I know one on one against 4.4. guys has never been his game-- well all has changed, and the Rams need to step it up at corner.
I will be highly disappointed if the Rams re-sign him for anything over $6mill/yr. Let him go.
Tru Jo is good at stopping the Seattle passing game because of our pass rush, and because Doug Baldwin doesn't scare Tru Jo at all....Tru Jo is smart, good tackler when he gets his feet right, and very tough! Good for a Jeff Fisher CB any day.
The Falcons, Vikings and Saints all have at least 1very good #1 [near premier] cover corner, and we don't. The Eagles Darby is a good cover corner; only the Panthers didn't seem to have a great corner amongst the playoff teams....one and done.
Kayvon is ok, but can't turn and run and locate at all, and Tru Jo with all his technique can't stay with any fliers---which is 60% of the WRs out there.
If we resign Tru Jo I will be sad because we have limited ourselves in man on man coverage. IF we pay more than $6 mill I will be mad. I just hope we don't resign him.
