kyle021 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 This guy has been locking receivers down since he became the starter opposite Butler. How this dude went undrafted is beyond me just watching him. Marquise Brown had zero receptions today. None. Nadda. I assumed with Browns speed outside, and Andrews at TE (I think he is right up there with Kelse) that our pass defense would be abused today since we were down Clowney af edge rusher on top of Jackson, Fulton, Vaccaro all out in the secondary where we are paper thin. However, this kid... Borders is playing like a borderline #1 CB and has been locking his guys down each week. I truly believe he is making it easier on the staff to bring Jackson back after his elite play since becoming a starter, and honestly I think once a Jackson comes back he continues to start, and it will be Butler who takes a step back as the primary backup corner and our starting corners will be Jackson, Borders, and King with Butler, and Fulton the backups. Also, I think Hooker may have taken Vaccaros job after today. He has played well all year. Vaccaro had a great first few weeks and tapered off to being mediocre at best, and I said last night that I think Vaccaro gives us a boost over Vaccaro in coverage due to his athleticism and instincts in coverage, and is just as good as Vaccaro in run defense and today that showed. If we can get Dean Pees to come back as the DC I would be excited as our defense would take a big step forward. Pees would take full advantage of Clowney, and with the additions of Borders, and King in the secondary we would be a better defense than we were last year as King is an upgrade over Ryan, and Borders is an upgrade over Butler. We have some optimism going forward sitting at 7-3 TylerRoseFan, Eighteen, BudsOilers, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TitansGuru Posted November 22, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 He's played really well. Grading out as elite so far on PFF and he has been passing the eye test. I love his competitiveness out there most of all. Eighteen, DCTitan, GLinks, and 13 others 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLanceALot Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I’ve said the last two weeks how impressed I’ve been with him. He’s played very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Honestly with borders playing so well he could be our number 2 corner next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 He’s under contract for the vet minimum next year anyway, he won’t be getting an extension. oldschool, rns90, ChemEngr79, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 He's been balling and I absolutely love his aggressiveness vs the run. We were really missing that. Now, if our DC can just sack up and let the kid get his hands on people we can stop giving up freebies on 3rd down. enigma 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakingeek Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 He’s getting valuable game reps and looking good doing it. Adoree is going to take a while before he gets to get back to game speed and Borders is great depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
