Sheldon Cooper Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 He has not played on that level yet but he has been making plays on the ball the last couple days that look like he could make a quantum leap in this new defense. He has a PD on Martino and Weems yesterday, but he just broke in front of Roddy and picked it off tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Dog Named Brian Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I think we've got a winner too. I'm not one to go off of feelings, but, I remember seeing him during his rookie year at TC. Something felt different about him, watching him play. He's gonna being doing some big things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Trufant is on that level. Him, Sherman, and Revis are the best 3 in the NFL. And this is far from homerism on my part imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaFanatic Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I was so pumped to get his autograph at camp the other day. Got WillyMo and Tru on the same mini-helmet. I was even in the snapchat from Trufant if you do the snapchat thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1969 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Or he could be Trufant for Quinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lornoth Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Tru's already better at pure coverage. He just isn't the playmaker type. Comparing Tru to Sherman would be like comparing Gonzo to Hester. Just different styles of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest facelessman07 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 this. I hate "(insert name here) could be (insert name here)" posts.Vic Beasley can't be Von Miller for Smith?

paulitik Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 He's been the best player on the team so far this Training Camp, that's saying a lot considering we have Matt Ryan and Julio Jones.. He looked great when I went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon Cooper Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) I did not mean he could grow up to be Sherman one day. Idiots might make that mistake. I am saying that Trufant who is a superior athlete to Sherman, will have a chance in Quinns defense of taking his own game to another level. He is the #1 CB/lock down LCB already. He is making plays on the ball early on that is already evidence of him improving significantly. People avoid throwing at Sherman. When they try he makes them pay. Trufant was not a guy that teams were afraid to throw at. This year, with a pass rush and his improved ability to make teams pay, they will shy away from his side if he hurts them the way Sherman does. That would be LCB play Quinn has been accustomed to.

Sherman even gave him a nod last season as being one of the best I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollo lawson Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Trufant is on that level. Him, Sherman, and Revis are the best 3 in the NFL. And this is far from homerism on my part imo.Throw Haden and Grimes in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 He has been playing on that level, but in a very complex system. He will not be thrown to after a while and Alford will likely lead in INT's. Trufant is a bad receiver anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Throw Haden and Grimes in there as well.Haden is overrated, probably fringe top 10. Grimes is top 5 but his gambles make him just below the other 3.(all imo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Haden is overrated, probably fringe top 10. Grimes is top 5 but his gambles make him just below the other 3.(all imo)Haden is in a bad situation. Playing for Seattle or Jacksonville, even here NOW he would have the chance to show what he can do. Its always the scheme. Don't let anyone fool you.

Francis York Morgan Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Haden is in a bad situation. Playing for Seattle or Jacksonville, even here NOW he would have the chance to show what he can do. Its always the scheme. Don't let anyone fool you.Not saying that he's bad, I just find others (Jonathan Joseph, Vontae Davis, Chris Harris etc) better than either him or Patrick Peterson, whose names are constantly thrown around at the top. Still top 10 (Peterson might not even be that) but I just don't think he's as good as other players. And it's easy to look at the Browns and say that he's in a bad situation, but that defense isn't bad at all. Middling, sure, but not bad. Very average.Unless you're just saying the scheme doesn't use his talents properly? In which case, I'd like to hear how so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph is in a system that showcases his talents, Davis is also in a great situation. He is allowed to be physical and violent in his coverage. Chris Harris would not have a career if not for being a system that fits his talents. For Peterson, the secondary is actually built around him and his skillset.All of those DB's have one thing in common. They play for teams that brought them in based on skillset, or with the idea of building a part of the defense around them. Haden was drafted based only on the IDEA of his skills. That's when you take a need high in the draft, but then do have any idea on what you have or how to use them. New coaching staff comes in and its no different.Happens all the time.They also don't throw on Haden's side much. Not after that rookie season. He's incredible even playing in a scheme he doesn't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby.Digital Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Trufant is on that level. Him, Sherman, and Revis are the best 3 in the NFL. And this is far from homerism on my part imo.My top are 6 are Revis, Sherman, C Harris, Trufant, V Davis, Grimes, J Smith. I don't see how you can put Chris Harris behind Trufant. He arguably had the best year out of any CB last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Haden is overrated, probably fringe top 10. Grimes is top 5 but his gambles make him just below the other 3.(all imo)I'd put Haden in the top 10. Definitely 6-10 range. He's a good CB. Just not much help and stuck in Cleveland, overlooked by the drama of them being Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not all about scheme, some players are good enough to play in any, and some arnt ( revis, namdi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
