Somehow byard had a higher grade by pff then both. Byard 74. Reed 73.4. And CJGJ 72.7. Epps was 65.4.

Reasons:

1) From a cap standpoint, I think it will be a rookie

2) Because I don't watch college football and picked a random rookie prospect.  

Big fan.  Good random name.

Nah. Reed is a better tackler but CJGJ is way better in coverage. Reed had some legit issues in coverage this year.

Followup tweet makes me even more optimistic 

 

I didn't get the impression that Siri had any objection to this, quite the opposite, he knows his offense got stale, and I suspect he looks forward to vigorous discussions with Moore, b/c he seems to be the type that is always learning. One of the key aspects of being a CEO HC is to be a sounding board for your coordinators, playing "Devil's advocate." 

Whereas Pederson was stubborn to the point of forcing his firing.

HEY GUYS, CJGJ? GUYS?

GARDNER-JOHNSON? GUYS?

I swear the EMB's lovefest with the guy is so damn annoying. In before the 'he'd be different on our team, two different defenses!' claim.

Yep.  He's not even a good safety.  Unbelievably overrated here.

CJGJ wasn't good in coverage, he was opportunistic, much like that Dallas CB who had a lot of interceptions but was burned a lot - QBs pick up on that tendency and look those gujys off and burn them.

The guy can barely tackle. Good starter? Even the reined in version is overrated. 

He's much better at slot, but people insist he's a good safety. He's like average. If he didn't run his mouth and have good hands, he'd be a JAG (again, at S. He's very good at slot.)

Calling him a JAG is taking things a bit far. He's a good starting S in this league but nothing special.

I have zero problem with Taylor Swift.

I have a problem with the Chiefs so blatantly being pushed by the NFL to where you start to think silly things like "maybe the NFL is scripted." Baltimore had a key play in the 4th quarter when they were still in it and Isaiah Likely was literally tackled in the middle of the field and there wasn't a penalty. Do I need to remind you about the ticky tack call on Bradberry in the SB last year after letting stuff like that go all game long. Taylor Swift is a micro problem that makes up the macro problem which is that every major organization and now the NFL is pushing agendas on the masses. I go to football or sports for an escape, not to have BS shoved down my throat. I am a liberal non conspiracy theory type guy but at some point certain things start to become obvious.

I think they are pretty even as far as the end result goes, however, CJGJ brings an attitude that this team sorely lacks. I don't think bringing him back is a smart idea, but I do think this team needs some dogs on that side of the ball. I hate the term swag, but this defense just lacks it. There's no one on defense getting in the other teams head, making their life hell. BG talks all game long but it's almost a friendly trash talk. Like OK buddy, stop talking. Nothing that will ever get under the other teams skin. 

I’m not dead against Moore as OC but I am a little worried about his pass heavy deep shot offense. That’s what we had this year and it didn’t work out so well.

He wasnt getting burnt deep when he was here. Reed had some issues with that this season. He also got beat inside the 5 on more than one occasion when he was lined up one on one with a receiver. Also, getting interceptions is a part of being good in coverage and really helps a team win games. There's a reason that teams who win the turnover battle often win the game. So chalking his play up to "opportunistic" when he has a knack for interceptions and making big plays isn't fair.

I was the same. My initial reaction was "go for it." But then I immediately realized trading 3 points and keeping the 3 score lead with half of the 3rd quarter gone would be a huge in for the Lions and keep all of the pressure on the 49'ers. The second time Campbell chose to go for it and not kick the FG might have been an even dumber decision which is hard to imagine. Tying the game there settle everything down and gets things back to 50/50. With the way the game had gone to that point even a 3 points lead and having the ball after a huge stop gives the 49'ers a major edge.

Yeah i think if the lions got the field goal it’s super deflating to Sf and the crowd. Would’ve taken the crowd back out of it after getting some hope. And likely the niners would’ve begun pressing and maybe leads to purdy making a mistake. Instead it got the crowd fired up and the niners hope and momentum.

frankly didn’t love throwing it 3 consecutive times going into the 4th and 2 in the 3rd quarter. On that drive Montgomery had runs of 7,6 and 5. I’d have given Montgomery a chance as the niners had no answers to him. Frankly ben Johnson made some really puzzling play calls in the second half. His decision to run on 3rd and goal down 10 was stupid. If you don’t get in (like what happened) you are forced to burn a timeout. Should’ve been throw on third down then 4th down can run or pass cause get in you get the score and if you are stopped it’s a turnover on downs and the clock is stopped and you didn’t burn a timeout.

I said if he didn't have good hands he'd be a JAG. Which is true, because if you don't include the interceptions, he's sub-par tackler on his best days at a position where tackling is extremely important.

It's the picks that bring him back to average. Thus, without them, he'd be a JAG (at safety). Once again, at slot, he's good. In my opinion, he was the best slot on the team last year even when Maddox was healthy. But you can't be that bad at tackling and be considered a good starter at S.

I don't know how anyone can judge CJGJ at all based on this season, he barely played. I don't think he's as good as he played last season is the norm for him, but he has playmaking ability in range that Blankenship just doesn't have. But if they signed him it would be to replace Byard, not Blankenship. But like I said, they should pursue better than him to start.

Been saying it since last year. Might change once Gardner-Johnson can actually tackle, but certainly isn't wrong right now.

Frankly CJGJ is better as a slot corner but he doesn’t want to be paid at that. Say what you want when maddox was out and they used him in the slot he was super effective here.

Does anyone have a video of that interception on the ball to Likely?  When I was at home it looks like the ref tried to grab a flag from two different pockets but didn't have one so just went out and called for the touchback.

Yes. He's really good at slot. Personally my gut felt like he was every bit as good as Patrick Robinson was our Super Bowl year there. He was better in the slot than Maddox.

Tbh it should’ve been PI. The guy basically hit likely before the ball even got picked. They’ll never call that cause of a throw into triple coverage

Problem is he doesn’t want to be paid as a slot corner. Wants the safety money. Sadly he’s not as good at safety as slot corner.

This translates to exactly what we're saying. Can't tackle but has good hands and raw movement ability. Also, on top of that: Blank missed like 2 games this year and people were starting to suggest he gets injured a lot. CJGJ missed like 19 games the past two seasons.

What’s the projected cap space this summer? 

CJGJ is prob going to be available for cheap as well, considering he didn’t play much

It was such an awful throw that I don’t even have an issue with the non-flag. I think the worst call in the game is when a pass is under thrown, the receiver comes back, and draws a PI flag. QBs know it and will purposefully underthrow balls to get the call. It’s rewarding the QB for a terrible throw. So by the letter of the rule it probably should have been a flag, but I didn’t have an issue with the non-call. That ball should have been lifted out of the back of the end zone where only Likely had a chance at it. Not thrown directly into triple coverage. 

F CJGJ
