Conn Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Despite the outpouring of love for Blache and his total points allowed stat You must mean total yards allowed stat. Because we were in the bottom third of the league in points allowed. That's why I never understood the outcry from people who oppose the switch.

Conn Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I read it to mean he'll be playing on the slot receiver as well as the outside receivers. Putting him at safety doesn't make sense at all...it takes away from the CB spot and isn't really much of an upgrade at all at safety. Nope, Carlos said he'd be playing some safety, along with the stuff you heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 thugstud. Please don't ever use that word again no other player of his caliber exists nor will one be conceived in the next century.I think you're going a little overboard here.its been what, 5 years ago?No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukes and Skins Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 He has the potential...he's put up similar tackle numbers the past 2 or 3 years... Your right he does but the thing he'll need to make sure to do this year is be aggressive but not reckless, you could always tell he was going for every big play or hit and became reckless, if he can control it this year he could be poised for a big year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always figured it made more sense to let D-Lo play some FS b/c of the ball skills and zone awareness. When did Los say this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryman of the North Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 the reason some of us are so against this chnage is simple, we finally had put together a solid defence that with some tweaking could have been special, then we blew it up with it only being 2 players short of being elite lol. now we start all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins4ever17 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Moore sounds like he's doing really good. I hate to ask a dumb question like this , but what had made him step up to be such a play maker, intercepting balls like this? Purely just coaching?

I hate to ask a dumb question like this , but what had made him step up to be such a play maker, intercepting balls like this? Purely just coaching? He was pretty highly regarded for a 1-AA player coming out of college, but was injured and couldn't participate in the combine or much of his first training camp. Which explains why he was drafted in the 6th round and mostly played special teams his rookie season. He looked pretty good last year, but we were committed to playing Landry at free safety, so Moore backed him up. I had heard a lot of talk last training camp about how Moore had some of the best ball skills in the secondary, but he didn't get enough playing time in center field to really show it of.

Honestly, I think he was always a good candidate to be back there, although of course two years of coaching help, when it comes to stepping in now. And hopefully learning from Laron's mistakes. But I think the biggest reason is that he got stuck behind Horton. Horton had two really great games, and never really showed anything after that, but it was enough to keep him above Moore, the more natural FS (haha, get it? ) until recently.

DCranon21 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'm hoping that Kareem pans out and will be the starting FS for the next 5-7 years. That strip ball vs N.O. was embarrassing, but you see how he scoped the ball in mid air. That was impressive to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackest Eyes Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Kareem seems to be a playmaker, even from his limited playing time last season. I was excited when we drafted him, but he was always stuck behind Landry. Safety is one position with a lot of depth. I'm excited to see how all of the guys are used this year. Moore will be a fun guy to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefPowhatan17 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Kareem Moore is going to "cream more" receivers than Laron did last year at FS. Plus he's got serious ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
