props to KJ, several times yesterday he turned to find the ball and make a play. i always thought that was his one issue that kept him from being really really good. let's hope he keeps it up, i think he can.
Not bashing the guy or anything but all of you bending over should wait until he draws a legit WR2 or slot guy. That time is coming soon. Julio Jones was the last could one he's seen if I can remember correctly.

Definitely agree. But this is the first time he is proving to play well against any receiver, so its hard to not have hope now
Kareem just needs to get in his head to turn and play the ball. If he doesn't play the ball the WR will catch it every time.
Easier said than done... Some guys will lose orientation if they're running in a single direction, then all of a sudden have to locate a ball AND stay close to the defender at the same time. I just don't think Kareem has that natural instinct... he can certainly get better (and has), but I also think he will still give up his share of deep passes due to this weakness. He is good at playing his man off the LOS, and we all saw what he can do when he's facing the reciever and defending a pass.
Kareem outplayed Joseph tonight, who played like complete crap. Who would've expected Kareem to be the guy that shows up at the end of the game?
why was the p. i on him tonight? I thought they had made a modification to the rule that if you don't draw contact with the player you don't have to turn your head? he stuck his hand and it hit ball, after hitting ball then the hand hit the receivers pad. Looked legal. (insert high fiving official pic.) no but the walter one could have been a no call so i guess it evens out.
Boldin and Torrey Smith is gonna torch the secondary next week. Of course after Ray Rice pounds our front seven.
Jackson was good, problem was the lack of pass rush that we normally had leaving him and our safeties on islands where Rogers picked them off when saw a moment of weakness. Most Cornerbacks are smaller then most starting receivers, but some of them are like Kareem or Cortland Finnegan where they have the strength to battle at the line of scrimmage and disrupt timing or the speed to keep up with the WR. Joesph appears injured so he lacks the speed that made him the perfect compliment to play against some of the other starting receivers.
