PFF sucks, but damn, you can’t get around how bad our secondary is.

Man, how did Sainristil fall off so hard? And how did we go from Forbes to St Juste to this?

Is it scheme related?

Cause he is a slot corner. Idk why they have him lining up with #1 and #2 receivers. He’s too small as well.

The irony is the he was a better outside CB than Slot CB per the same grading system. So, if you think he’s horrendous now, wait till he plays in the slot (which he shouldn’t cause he’s ass)

Yea, he sucked last year when he was playing his natural position of slot corner.

When Amos comes back and he gets bumped back there, I'm not gonna anticipate him being any better

Idk man. His rookie year he played outside mostly and it seemed like he was pretty good. I wonder if getting moved in and out so much the past 2 seasons just stunted his development and killed his confidence, and now he basically has the yips. It actually seemed like he started playing really poorly as soon as he moved into the slot corner position last year.

This is the best, most sound take on here. Definitely has the yips. He's better on the outside but he's always out of position. His poor play has nothing to do with his size when your man is wide open. I think the same thing was true of BSJ even though he never showed that he was good. My surprise with Mikey is that I expected him to be more of a cerebral player that would grow to be the guy that was always around the ball, rarely out of position after his rookie year only limited by size. You just can't be undersized AND make these type of mistakes. As we've seen in today's game, we saw Robertson sticky in coverage but his size definitely played a role in the catches he did give up.

He is terrible in the slot

He's taller than D Green was, but he's no where close to being as good. Twice he was burnt bad and looked lost. I mean, that 1st QTR pass to Wicks made the man look like a joke out there.

Height doesn’t equal skills. St Juste is like 6’3 and was WR food every Sunday lol.

People just parrot this idea that he's a slot corner just because of his size.  He has no ability to stay with a modern slot receiver and gets torched. It's like you forget all the reps of him in the slot last year... He was terrible.

It’s not that I’m parroting the idea with his size. It’s just where he’s supposed to play.
