I thought he was generally ok. People expect him to stop kupp? The best CBs in the league haven't been able to do it but we are holding our 5th string cb to that? Yes he gave up some plays, but the rams didn't exactly light us up. The reason is pass rush combined with decent work in the secondary.

Then combine that with him having to move to FS bc of injury, a position he has probably never played....they all deserve respect for that game

Yes. And he has been ok playing the outside corner this season. He shouldn't be playing the slot unless we are desperate for bodies anyway. He may do ok against big slot receivers, but certainly not against an agile speedy stud like Cooper. Terrible matchup for him. If Lenoir was available Lenoir would probably be playing at the slot in that game.

I think he does fine when called upon inside or out. Not shut down by any means but does the job. No one has been able to stop Kupp. Pretty crazy because Kupp is good, really good but agile and speedy don't really stand out.
Folks keep sh1tting on this guy but I've been saying and he just played another pretty good game against Aaron Rodgers with Davante Adams.

Good job dude.

Started out rough but yeah, overall, you gotta give him some love esp. for his toughness.
He was really good tonight! Major props to him.
Played that one with his Mom in mind for sure. Great game Dontae, she's so proud of you.
He seriously played well.

Competed his ass off.
Was so happy to see him back in over Norman. Never thought I would say that

Me too. Wow. Beating the best offenses with backups on O and D.

Great game after that first series. Gave up like 3 for 44 against Adams on that first drive, but then he probably has his best game as a Niner.
WHOS BETTER JOHNSON ISLAND OR THOMAS ISLAND???
Can we all collectively agree that there will be no Dantae Johnson slander allowed from this point forward?
Dontae's back on a 1 year deal.
