BlueInCanada Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 When JR shelled out big $$$ for this guy I was worried, everything I read/seen/heard about him was that he could be a top 10 corner in the NFL one play, and then give up the next. Rams were happy to be rid of the guy after he was beaten like a drum multiple times leading to last minute game changing score, some Rams forum had stats showing he was the most burnt corner leading to game winning score the past couple of years, but maybe they were still pissy about having their team move. I didn't think he would be starting and that Apple would surpass him, and it would just be another FA blunder by the Gints, glad I aint no GM. This guy has really turned it around and plays hard every single play, shutting down some big time WRs, and we have the best combo in the NFL for doing so in DRC/JJ Glad the pieces are coming together for JR, hopefully he keeps getting these guys in FA, and glad the Jackrabbit has proven to be worth every penny. Might be a new jersey hanging in my closet soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hell yeah. He's one of the best cb's in the league at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 And also Apple played almost every defensive snap this week and I think the stat I saw was he allowed 1 catch for 9 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I was glad we signed him but thought Sean smith at half the price would've been better. Glad I was wrong about that one. Dude got lit up for an 80 yard td week 1 and has been hurt all year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmenroc Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Yeah, the FA signings between OV and JJ have worked out very well and both have been instrumental in our success so far this season. That said, JR's seat is just as warm as ever in my book. To me, this earned him another year. If he pulls in talent this next offseason like he did last, then I'm on the 'he turned it around and is worth a multi-year GM contract" bus.

UK-Giantsfan Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Yeah, the FA signings between OV and JJ have worked out very well dont forget Snacks too ....he has been outstanding . Our D line is now top 10-15 . We are great against the run mainly because of him and OV ( IMO ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 We're good against the run too, because our secondary holds up pretty well, allowing us to commit guys to the run that may have previously had to drop into coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Yeah, I've come to realize that JJ with the Rams was a case of a great player on a bad team trying to do too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Happy to admit that I was wrong about him. I was killing this guy early in the season, but after Collins in my mind he's been our best defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
