Some good little bits of information on the offseason program so far on today's OTP   - Amani Hooker is already taking reps with the 1st team defense and not looking out of place doing so.

This entire offseason and every thread is going to be a referendum on Mariota isn't it?

Lol.    Everyone knows if it was the opposite happening, you’d be grilling Mariota for not playing as fast.

He was a lot better the 2nd half of the year but he did play some atrocious passing games. I’m pretty confident in Butler this year but he’s had an odd career. The Saints offered a 1st for him in the 2017 draft, he was considered that good. But then he had a lot of trouble in 2018.

 

Both him & Adoree are unique in that they’re built like slot corners but they both have a lot of trouble against quick, shifty WR’s. On the other hand they basically take the deep ball away. Both are excellent on long balls & taking away downfield routes is more important than anything.

 

As long as Butler plays like he did the 2nd half we’re fine. These guys aren’t lockdown but they rarely get beat deep. Throw on Ryan in the slot & Byard & teams are going to have a tough time dinking & dunking. With the improved pass rush the defense should be a very good bend but don’t break type. 

 

It would really be big if Hooker is as good as it sounds.

i think you're eval is a bit off here. Butler constantly gets beat deep and is great with quick guys and underneath stuff. 

 

adoree is great deep and actually really good on every WR he's covered so far (quick or big) not named TY hilton.

Butler played well enough early on except that he kept getting beat deep. That’s a big except. If you mostly play well but get beat deep every game then you are hurting the team.

 

I don’t know if he adjusted his game, Pees adjusted the coverages, or what, but teams stopped beating him deep over the 2nd half of the season. That fact alone was huge.

They rarely ever left Jackson on a pure island like they did with Butler. 

After Butler was benched they did it. Gordon and Hilton to name two instances

They did in those two instances. The idea behind the defense is it’s multiple and constantly looking for matchups. He was scorched by Hilton. He had his best game of the year against Gordon.

Gordon was a slow lumbering slow WR who ended up getting cut too

Gordon had something like 130 yards in the previous game before Adoree locked him down...Gordon was playing like a #1 WR at that point...
