imagine trading a running back for him. Even Gibbs would be laughable.
They also had two pick sixes, three INTs, three sacks and a victory. So at the end of the day not a bad tradeoffincredible stat, can someone help me understand why they wouldn't switch around their defense to put Surtain on him more after it's clear noone else can cover him?
Letting Surtain shut down one side of the field and then giving help to the corner on the other side against the top wideout makes sense in a lot of cases. Surtain has traveled, but part of the problem is their starting corner was down last night. The larger problem was that Wallace wasn't ever given help and he seemed like a deer in headlights all night long. He looked like he's never played the position before. Jeudy's stats were eye-popping, but there were plenty more big plays against Wallace last night when Jeudy was covered by Surtain. This was a scheme and adjustment issue that falls squarely on the shoulders of Payton and Joseph. It wasn't until the last few minutes of the game that they woke up, benched Wallace, and started playing coverage. I have no idea what they were thinking, but Denver was very lucky to escape this one with a W.incredible stat, can someone help me understand why they wouldn't switch around their defense to put Surtain on him more after it's clear noone else can cover him?

The Steelers did win a game a few weeks ago running that play when the defender jumped lol. It was hysterical.Letting Surtain shut down one side of the field and then giving help to the corner on the other side against the top wideout makes sense in a lot of cases.

Yeah, lucky is right, between that and the utter fiasco of clock management. They could've lost due to burning two TO's.
Why the hell any coach tries to the oldest and now dumbest trick in the book still -- the draw them offsides with cadence thing -- is beyond me. Let's run the success rate on that through analytics. And the amount of lost offensive plays (if needed) it can cost you. It's ridiculous. Worked a few times in the 90's and was all the rage.
Hello, it's 2024 and nobody bites on it anymore, put it to bed.
Ha, yep, dummy. And poor coaching. It's just as stupid to keep trying something that rarely works, especially considering the cost.

Two extremely related stats, both via @NextGenStats:
Patrick Surtain was over Ja'Marr Chase on 43 of 56 coverage snaps (77%). Chase was 3 for 27 on 6 targets when covered by Surtain
Tee Higgins against Riley Moss (25 snaps): 8 targets, 7 catches, 101 yards, 2 scores
CB will always be a tough sell because no stats (targets/receptions/scores) is harder to measure vs a DE/DT (tackles/sacks).DPoY unless the voting is overly biased.
I’d get that if it were the average fan voting. These voters are supposed to understand the game better.CB will always be a tough sell because no stats (targets/receptions/scores) is harder to measure vs a DE/DT (tackles/sacks).DPoY unless the voting is overly biased.
But I agree he’s deserving.
