How awesome it is to have a great secondary?
I think we all agreed that our CBs were doing well, but yesterday was a statement game for sure: Thielen and Diggs combined for 77 yards, 10 catches and 1 TD.
JC Jackson is a diamond. He needs to keep watching his hands - he got away with at least 1 big PI last night - but he has instinct to know when the ball is coming, not to mention that sweet 6'1'' length.
J. McCourty is quickly becoming our best acquisition this offseason (not counting trades). He got burned by Thielen on the TD, but the guy needs to eat too (Actually both McC brothers were fooled)
And Gilmore... the guy is a top 5 CB in the league. Not only he has elite cover skills, he is great against the run and a great tackler. Having him for 4 more years at 14m is going to look like a complete steal in a couple of years.
The safeties are also doing their job really well. Harmon is really developing and is the reason why I think D. McCourty could be in trouble next off-season, although he is playing well too. Chung is also always doing his job, week in and out, slowing TEs all over the league
Do you guys remember the days when we would cover WRs with 10 yards cushions? Seems just like yesterday....
