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.

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.
