Not working for me.
Can Germaine Pratt and Darius Phillips get some love?

He's a dude that doesn't have a ton of NFL experience, yet he shows a knack for making plays. Our CBs, even the ones we got in the first round have been lacking in that department. Maybe he can be coached up on the fundamentals of coverage to go along with the playmaking. In a season without much to be excited about, Phillips gives us something. Maybe they found a guy and can spend a pick elsewhere. We're due for a high pick DB soon....

I wouldn’t even say it’s instincts that have been or CB’s problems, but more their hands. If we picked off even half of the balls that hit these guys in the hands over the past few years...

You have to admit it was refreshing to see.

I thought they both have done very well in the last few games this year. The future is bright for both of them, assuming they continue to develop.

Germaine Pratt and Darius Phillips are two guys I had in mocks the years they were drafted. Happy that they are panning out (so far) :)
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

He needs to learn more to become savvy at the position and coverage, but I don't see anyone on this coaching staff who's going to teach him. He's got the speed and hands. This seems to be a common sentiment, but I don't think it was a lack of giving Joe the ball. The offensive line was in shambles and was adjusting to a new system. They improved throughout the year and so did the running game. At least we saw a team get BETTER at something.

Got much better on D too.

Dre & Webb on the other hand, get beat and beat again and when occasion rises to make an INT catch, they fail miserably.

Everyone in the league is dropping easy picks, for some reason. 3. Phillips may have good hands, but his vision ******* sucks; on the returns (punt, kick, pick), he runs into his own guys, gets creamed from behind/side and can't find holes. I don't want him returning, despite how dynamic he can be with the ball in his hands; Erickson and Wilson are infinitely better. Have him stick to CBing.

Webb was in position for 3 or 4 interceptions this year and would have had them had he not been playing with his broken hand in a cast. Hard to squeeze the ball and pull it in like that.

Pratt will be a good player as he grows into his own. He has the intangibles, he is fast, can tackle and cover.
Phillips is a gamechanger at times. Really like both players for the future, both are types we need. With Wilson at KR and Phillips at PR we might have the two best Returners in the NFL down the road. Just need these guys to stay healthy, get a new DC and LB coach and keep Simmons around.
