My favorite teams
Obviously we all know what eddie does best, but even when he had a true SS lined up next to him in Amos he still lined up in the slot/box a lot.
He's improved drastically in the box since college, and he's always been fantastic as a cover option in the slot because of his cornerback background.
I'm just saying the guy is fuckin versatile, me saying he's the best SS in the league is an def a large overstatement, but he isn't a liability playing in the box like he was coming out of alabama.
His rookie year he played in the box 26% of the time.
The biggest drastic change this year isn't the amount he played in the box, its the amount he spent covering the slot. You could attribute that change as much to the loss of bryce callahan as the gain of clinton dix.
By week 11 of this past year, He already had more snaps covering the slot as he did in 2017/18 combined.
Yes i've been agreeing that he's been playing other positions but FS. I know he's played in the box before last year for us and never said he didn't. He's definitely versatile and we never disagreed with that. The only thing i disagreed with is you saying he's the best SS and NB in the league as well as FS. All the other stuff you keep saying is stuff i already know. What i'm saying is his best position is FS and that's where i'd rather him play. I would rather we sign a true SS over re-signing HHCD and now i'm not even sure this tweet of us re-signing HHCD is even real, but if we could get HHCD at the price it said we got him for in the tweet then i'm 100% fine with re-signing him and having Eddie playing mostly SS.
