I didn't check this anywhere . . . .

I’ve heard a lot of criticism towards joey. I realize he is a little handsy, and gets called for penalties. I also realize he is one of the best CBs the Tomlin has drafted.

I like Jr, and hope he continues with his play and elevates as he gains more and more experience.


Thanks Djfan, appreciate you and all your great post(s) along the way.



Salute the nation

Not to be Grinch here...lol...but is that a stat we can look at and agree with?

And by that I mean how many plays that would have resulted in a TD did he prevent with a DPI which then resulted in a red zone TD on following plays that was not on him?

Still impressive by him, but it would be interesting to know how many times what I mentioned has happened.

I read other articles also saying how good/great his coverage has been. Nice to see he is coming into his own as a shut down CB.
 
Not all the fans here are high on JPJ but I think he is a solid corner…

Better to prevent the TD even if it does result in one later. It still gives a chance to stop it.

I trust Matt Williamson on his stats.

Very true, but the stat gives a false impression of his coverage skills at this point in his career if that is the case. That's all I'm saying.

I would think he will only get better and it's not something that will matter 2 years from now anyway.

Not sure it does. His job is to first stop the pass and then second to stop a long gain or TD. He does exactly that. Half his PI calls are more rep than real. At least based on what other do and don’t have called. I think he is one of the best.
