Here’s Merlin…
Our best boundary corners are Durant and Ramsey. I would park both of them in those roles and leave them. Kendrick in the slot, either him or Hill. Whoever is not is the dime. That is a solid secondary in terms of cover ability IMO, and potentially can improve as the kids get experience.
Too much is being made of Durant's tackling. In order to threaten him outside the hash you need to run quick screens, and he's a threat to jump any pass that is out wide if it is late or poorly thrown. Just my take on this issue. Those types of cover threats get in a QB's head on those quick passes to the sideline, they make that pass something to dread instead of what it has been all season which is a guaranteed 5-10 yard gain. Durant is a guy who is comfortable 5 yards off vs a good wideout and ready to jump the route. He is not going to spot a dude ten @#$%& yards because he's not confident like Long, Rochell, Kendrick, even Ramsey at times.
The sorting of our secondary roles has been slow and poorly devised IMO. Been saying this for a while now. Slot is easily filled. We have multiple options to fill it. The problem is settling roles outside the hash and the guy who can help us out there is Durant.
