He's one of several guys that will benefit from legitimate coaching.

just logical coaching lol
put him man to man on the outside in press coverage and leave him alone.
done.


So much this. I just can't believe what he showed in his rookie year was a fluke or luck. The guy just seems to have it.

wasn't a fluke he did the same thing this season too. when he plays he shows up. when he doesn't he can't.
Should be a 2016 starter

Agreed. He's the only CB on the team I'm comfortable making a starter in the long run. I want 1 more (White from LSU or Apple from Ohio State).

Hope he starts. I think he is going to be a stud in this new defense.

I still like Brock, Acker and Reaser better, not to mention Ward... but I do like DJ... think we're set at CB honestly
We're going to sign Norman or Sean Smith and start Dontae. Book it!

Then move Reaser to the slot, Tartt to the Robber role and move Ward back to SS.

Buckner in the draft or Wilkerson or another dominant RDE in FA.

New scheme will allow Bowman and Hodges to play more down hill.

DONE.

sorry man dontae is better than all of them. put him on the outside and forget about it. he's fast enough to run with any of them. big and long enough to match up with any of them. and physical enough to make them think twice.
I think we're finally going to see dontae Johnson get a legit shot with chip. Chip loves tall, long cornerbacks.
Johnson will make the pro bowl next season but unfortunately he won't get to go

I really hope so. Dontae is going to be a very good starter when given a chance.
In his first year I think he kicked ass. He's so fast as well as tall. Pretty good coverage only blew a couple of chances his rookie year. Last year when he was in he did very well. He saved that Julio Jones touchdown and I believe he played pretty well against Calvin Johnson. He is a very good starter in my opinion and the closest thing we have to a shutdown corner. Chip better start him because our other coaches for some odd reason like Brock and acker better.

Y tho? He who believes glenn dorsey is warren sapp 2.0, and gabbert would create the greatest show on turf.

the only time he struggled was in the slot. whenever he's been on the outside he's been lights out. he's not a slot corner he's an outside lock the man up corner.
