So you're saying definitely a FS....not a CB. I can agree there.

Where ever the team feels he best fits. I think he is versatile enough to play FS and also slide into M2M coverage in several 3rd down/passing situations. I think he would be a perfect fit for what we asked of Ronde last year. Have him on the field al the time and slid him around when A. Black hits the field. Then if he shows the staff that he can be a #2 CB and do all things on the outside. Get it. Either way, if drafted, he would contribute right away...would be part of the "best 11"...and would help get our takeaway numbers up.

DJ, you don't think he trained for that 40? Dude plays slow.

I'm sure he did train , but you can only improve your speed slightly . You are either fast or you aren't  .  You can't fake a 4.3 , or else everyone would run one. 

Also , as I said , he ran a similiar time in high school so it shouldn't be all that surprising.

FS would be interesting he makes plays on the ball when it's in front of him.

i dont trust him to cover anything. he got completely torched this year. scorched and blackened to a crisp. im having nightmares right now imagining him trying to cover jimmy graham

Dex, that's not Amerson in your nightmares getting a nice crisp in the D-backfield...that's Mark Barron. Just let those memories go, man. He may be better next year.

Lol.. Barron is going to ball this year.

LOL @ "watch film" ....as if jdouble has access to "film" on these guys . You are watching Youtube videos , jack wagon. Get serious , and stop pretending like you are a real scout.

Youtube or not this kid is slow and will get abused as a CB. He's a FS in the NFL.

Apparently game footage isn't "film" if it's on youtube.....it has to be on a reel and watched on an old timey projector.

He is definitely too slow to be a CB. You can see that from watching game footage.....whether you call it youtube or film, it's pretty easy to see. Doesn't matter what his 40 time is.

Just hopped in this thread didn't see much film on him other than the 2 JD provided.........

I wouldn't say those 2 pieces prove hes really slow at all on the 2 passes he got burned on

1. He bit on a double move/pump fake and didn't have enough recovery to catch back up to Patterson the best receiver in this draft

2. Miscommunication between him and the safeties as you can see he doesnt seem to eager to flip his hips and putting his hands in the air at the end of it. Most likely was expecting deep help so he could cover the underneath curl/dig/slant

So from what I gathered the big plays resulted from his instincts and football IQ making him look really slow cause of it

Hope so.

He's making a weak attempt to troll me because I'm a Barron fan . 


But you are right , once we get a decent secondary around Barron he is going to be a monster. Can't wait !

[Dolorous Jason]

This is what it looks like when someone who isn't a poser , and actually knows how to watch film  (while having access to ACTUAL film and players ) , watches film on Amerson:

[Spoolios]

Interesting highlights. I'm sure all CBs use similar thought processes, but seeing it detailed out like that makes him seem like a very smart player.

He looks fast in coverage, but he definitely looked slow during the return, LOL. Great interception.

[JDouble]

That was 2011 when he was considered a top 10 prospect. I'd love to see these guys break down 2012 and explain why he got eaten up by average receivers so often.
