wtfskins Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 So that’s what coverage looks like I can root for that. Great job Skins let’s give these guys some credit for winning the game. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 He took some criticism in recent weeks fro the media. Way to step up Fabian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueIndian Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 So let me see if I have this right..... Norman doesn't sniff the field (cept for ST) and the rest of the guys are in position, covering their ground, and bonus... getting turnovers. I know it was a Driskel led Lions air attack but lets be honest that first pick by Moreau would have been a walk in the end zone backwards touchdown had J-No - Let-em- go ! been on that man. Addition by subtraction, the other guys in the secondary were probably relieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It could be that Moreau is just not a good slot corner. Maybe he has the speed, but not the quickness? If he finds a home on the outside that'll be a good thing especially as it looks like Norman has played himself off the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kind of QB's have been known to have big games against the Skins. Important things is, the specific passes that he intercepted, were not poorly thrown balls. They were well-thrown balls, that Moreau did an exceptional job of stealth, legal thievery. Also, Julian Edelman was a former QB, and now a great WR. Perhaps there is not so much of a gap between playing the positions, as many of us might think - even at an NFL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slot corners have a very tough job in today’s NFL. There is no sideline to help you, and you’ve got a ton of space to worry about. It’s why I was incredibly disappointed to see Fuller go, because he was the man there. I believe the Chiefs moved him outside and had some struggles there.

Just look at the elusive and athletic slot receivers every team has. He played awesome outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 He's got all the traits to be one of the top outside corners in this league. Showed that consistently at UCLA. Which I've no doubt he would be by now under better coaches and a more conducive situation. We got a steal of a pick in the lower third at the time and hopefully when a competent defensive staff replaces the current one he'll really start to fulfil that. Hail.

HTTRDynasty Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Good game from him. I’m not getting my hopes up though. Moreau has played on the outside before, when Dunbar and/or Norman have been injured. He never really flashed in those situations. Maybe this is more than just a fluke, but I doubt it.

I believe the Chiefs moved him outside and had some struggles there. It really is an under appreciated difficulty in the NFL. Most players can't play multiple positions within a certain positional group. Certain OLBs are much better suited on the left side rather than the right. Guards can't always play tackle, ILBs cant always rush from the outside, and this hopefully is another instance of a guy struggling playing out of position. Thus a flash when he gets to play a position he is seemingly more comfortable at. A lot of things matter when it comes to stuff like that, and I hope Fabian continues to develop out there. Not having to spend a ton on CB this offseason could mean we address some more glaring holes. That said, we played Detroit. I'm looking to see what he can do over the next 5 weeks looking at some better QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 We had PFF's highest rated slot CB...🙄 Imagine having Dunbar and Moreau on the outside, with Kendall Fuller in the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your frustration with it, but why even throw this out there? We have made some terrible front office decisions, and we are all aware of them.

We did this well.... 'yea but, could you imagine?' We drafted a QB... "we already had a qb" The decisions of the past cannot be changed. This constant reminder of 'what if' can be exhausting, especially when we have open threads ASKING 'what if' like the one asking if we regret signing Cousins. A thread i'm participating in. I love the nostalgia and though process, but a constant shoveling of reminders of how bad we've had it over the last umpteen years is probably what is killing us all inside. We also had Preston Smith who has double digit sacks this year. I'm aware of the issue in the front office, and i'm of the same mindset of a lot of people around here, that we're likely going to struggle mightily until certain moves off the field are made. That has nothing to do with Fabian Moreau having a good game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The ES football philosophy is amazing: Have one decent game/get penciled in as a ten-year starter.

IIRC, he was extremely highly rated coming out of college, and he only dropped due to some injury like Triceps or Pecs or something like that, which he's clearly recovered from fully. He just hasn't had the chance to prove it until now, and the first opportunity he gets, he shines. It may be premature to annoint him a shut down corner or whatever, but there is still plenty of reason for optimism, and no reason for pessimism. Besides the talent he possesses, he is also very mature and works very hard. So yea, I have high hopes for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 If you ignore the 'playing to the gallery' Cowboys GM tone as part of our annual mock exercise, (and those that follow that will know the extensive work that most of us put into the college game through the fall watching these guys), FWIW, this was my layman's scout view in taking Fabian. Nice time to revisit that as we look to the roster going forward. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtfskins Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Three interceptions in two games and should of been a td as well. Why has this guy been sitting behind Norman just because he gets paid less? Moreau is a good football player and so are these other young players who had a chance to play and impact the game in Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
