I do still have a bit of a creeping fear that this will come back to haunt us at some point in the season. I don't see man coverage working out too well against a team like the Vikings, but I don't even know how much man vs zone the secondary has been playing this year.
Eh, I don’t think the Vikings are the matchup I’d worry about in terms of size. Talent sure, jj is amazing and thielen is a really nice wr. But it won’t be our height that kills us there.
Looking around the league these days, most of the elite receivers are really guys that are masterful route runners, fast, great at separating. Less jump ball type 1v1 receivers. Kupp, Jefferson, adams, chase, hill, diggs, lamb, Allen, godwin, Cooper, aj brown (tho brown could go in either category). All guys you are happier having a fluid cover corner than a bigger body, slower/less agile guy for.
There are a few guys I’d see more as the big body contested catch type- evans, mike will, higgins, mclaurin.
I think it was pretty clear we needed our secondary to get faster. I feel we’re in better shape there now than the last couple years.
