Then if the rookie looks good, Butler can compete for the slot w/ Hooker and whoever. Butler was a top 15 corner last year before the injury. He isn’t a shutdown guy, but he is excellent against bigger, athletic WR’s. He’ll be here for the next two years and could possibly be extended short term next year. reo, and ChemEngr79 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 He’s also the only DB we have who is proficient at pressing receivers. He could have changed that KC game. ChemEngr79 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s listed at 6’0 and is expect to run around a 4.4 forty. He was the second cornerback on the Ohio State team behind Okudah. Okudah is projected to be a top 15 pick. Arnette has quick hips and mirroring ability but seemed to get muscled from time to time by some bigger receivers. However, he held his own on an island for most of the Clemson game. If you watch the film most of the targets were actually to Okudah’s side of the field. He seems like he could have some upside for us. On the other hand, CJ Henderson from Florida and Trevon Diggs from Bama have better size and strength. I think we will end up selecting one of these guys. Just depends on if JRob is more worried about stopping the speedsters or the bigger Mike Evans type of guys. As an Ohio state fan, I disagree that he got “muscled”. There might have been a few times where guys caught balls, but that is going to happen. Arnette is also very physical and not afraid to tackle which would fit our style.

Yeah I don’t think he got out physical-ed much. But his small stature was exploited once or twice against Higgins. But yes I think he’d fit in perfectly with his aggression and somewhat ballhawky-ness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like he was going to go pro but went back to get better. Also was a 3 star recruit which is something JRob would love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can keep him another 2 years at $11 a year. OF course you can always get out before the last year easily. His contract goes through 2022. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/malcolm-butler-15769/ Not sure we beat the Chiefs with Butler out there but all it takes is for us to knock a pass down or something to stop a drive. Butler and Jackson are not chicken crap when both are healthy. In hindsight I would have cared less about giving up an occasional big play and taken more chances. We let them control the ball and keep our offense off the field. So not only did they score almost every time they had the ball our offense didn't get enough opportunities. That meant Henry was a non factor. Next time I'd man up more and send a few extra rushers. I agree. We were putting a ton of responsibility on Vacarro and Trumaine Brock in the chiefs game. With a healthy Butler you can pretty much take all of their Sammy Watkins type of guys out of the game. Then it just leaves Adoree with help over the top on hill and byard with help on Kelce. We may not have won but it would’ve been closer. Amani Hooker could become pretty invaluable if he can learn to cover man competently. Not many safeties can actually do that but I’ve heard tons of reports saying he did in college. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also would have murdered Mahomes on the scramble TD at the end of the half, setting up a goalline situation instead of an easy TD.

GOAT9 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 What about Antoine Winfield Jr? He should be able to play safety and the Nb spot. He should be available mid rounds. Hes good at tackling and creating turnovers. Just has some durability issues. Broke Int record at Minnesota. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like Arnette because I think he was severely underrated because he played with Okudah, but he didn’t play much in the slot at OSU. Okudah and Arnette we’re outside and wade was the nickel/slot cb almost all of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
