Never saw it, looked twice. I understand how I could have missed it, given my age. This is the first thing, god bless me, that I did think of
Today was significantly more active. Takeaways: •CJ Stroud connected with Diggs three times thru 4 team periods. •There was miscommunication in the pass game at times that frustrated Stroud. •Pitre might have a new ish position: nickel. That’s what he played at Baylor and became Big12 defensive player of the Year. •Year 1 Dameon Pierce might be back. He’s looked explosive and decisive. •CB Stingley did get beat by Diggs twice but he forced two INCs when guarding Nico Collins and Noah Brown. •WR John Metchie looks good. •Tytus Howard has been exclusively at RT •Eric Murray caught an INT on Stroud
Hope their is some legs to the Justin Simmons rumor. Secondary is probably the one area of the team I'm not completely bought in.
Jimmie Ward On a podcast last season: " I didn't want to play Nickel back. You can call it 'dollar' if you want, it's still nickel." He is a riot. Having someone willing and wanting to do that from a safety spot opens endless possibilities. SF did it to get their best on the field, Texans legend Gipson and Hufanga along with Jimmie. This means a couple of things that could have a chain reaction: -They believe highly in Pitre. Not surprising, Demeco always speaks highly of him. Thought he had some good games in the playoffs. So close to that int vs the Ravens. - The Simmons rumors are true. Because right now we don't have another safety that you would want out there to maximize gains unless Calen is ready. - Pitre playing Nickel back means Lassiter will earn the 2nd CB spot. - The flexibility allows you to keep around another player they really like.
