re: I'm amazed at the seeming apathy towards Marshon Lattimore

1) Lattimore is not even close to Patrick Peterson
2) Pass rush improves your secondary....secondary doesn't improve your pass rush
3) there is a long history of CB failures
4)we have not addressed the pass rusher opposite of Cam Jordan since Cam Jordan has been here
5) I'm pretty sure it is now a consensus that the two most important positions on the football field today is:
QB
Pass Rusher
Hence...the #1 overall pick in the draft
Hopefully Latimore will be the superstar he is projected to be.
I do understand that he is a player you couldn't pass up on....
It will be interesting to see who has a better career....latttimore or Barnett?

It absolutely can. Ever heard of a coverage sack? Jordan could have had several more sacks last year if the secondary was worth a damn. We already have 3 first rounders on our dline. We needed to improve the secondary.

Link? Stats to back this up? How can you be so sure?

Absolute fricking bullshite. As another poster and I pointed out, half a second better coverage turns hits into sacks. We were 4th in hits.
I said this in 2014 and again last year, if you give the rush under 3 seconds to get home almost every play then you aren't going to get many sacks no matter who you have.
Coverage absofrickinglutely affects pass rush. They work hand in hand.

As s rated prospect. Yes. He is.

False. In the modern NFL QBs get the ball out quicker than a pass rusher can get to him. We hit the QB a lot last year actually. We just couldn't cover anyone. It's called a coverage sack. Look it up.

Irrelevant.

Sure we have.

Wrong. Lattimore is big like Pat Peterson, and effortlessly fast. Both could play offense or defense. They are both freakish athletes. Not all top rated corners have that athleticism across the board. They both have excellent size and arm length, as corners, combined with freaky athletcism. Elite gene pool specimins, both.
Also both are extremely skilled and excell in man coverage.
Do your homework before posting dope
Pat pete, 4.34, 38 inch vert, and 10'6 broad jump at 6'0 215, 32 inch arm length
Lattimore, 4.36, 38.5 inch vert, and 11 foot broad jump at 6'0 193, 31'1/4 inch arm length
