Rhodes went down and he got moved over to cover Thomas. It may have been Green Bay and Adams, can't remember without looking it up.
The first TD really wasn't all his fault, as the other team was already close to the redzone. They went after him immediately, and he got beat. He gave up another one later. I still like his upside though, and think he should be better than Dre K. Hell, he's probably already better than Dre.
Okay, you were talking about Waynes. Kind of thought that.
I mean, if it was against the Saints and Michael Thomas it is completely understandable.
We all know Rodgers and the Packers WR's, namely Devante Adams are tough too.
Not making excuses but that is a tough challenge for any Corner. Waynes is still young and needs to play in man more.
Think we will be going to man coverage much more, we definitely need to, these are not zone Corners.

They didn't just go to average on that measure, they went to near the top of the CB class. And while facing the likes of Lamar Jackson and (can anyone else see the steelers drafted Jordan Love, putting him on the "juice" and trying to make him the next Mahommes?) Mayfield?
It seems odd, also, that for the "overpayment" of Waynes, they absolutely stole Alexander in the slot CB position...a position that I think is even harder to fill than the outside CB.
There has to be some sort of agreement with Alexander, to steal him from the Vikings like that shouldn't be that easy.
I bet we agreed to extend Alexander once we could afford it.
The Reader and Waynes deals made this impossible at this moment.
