Wut? Kwon is #5 in coverage. What are his run grades?

He sure doesn't look bad in coverage. He had an interception at a key moment in the game with a spectacular athletic play. Plus a long return back up the field the other way. Greenlaw looks plenty good enough to me in coverage. I don't have a problem with how he is playing.

I was really happy with how he played. Better then expectations and he did not let the team down. Coaches must be very happy with him.

Any chance we can turn this guy into a two way player? Better hands than our wr core by far.

Ha While you are at it what about Wishnowsky for tight end and Linebacker? He is fast, can tackle and block and he sure can catch balls on the run after playing Aussie Rules.

Nah he's too tough for today's nfl. He'd be getting flags all day.

it's a shame on the interception return that he didn't get one more good block or was able to cut back a little and take it to the house. I told my wife when he went out of bounds at around the 50 we were going to have trouble moving the ball.

Yeah I was really hoping for a TD there, too. I really was. But then I was also dumb enough to think we'd hit that FG no problem.

Al Shaair, supposedly a diamond in the rough, but so far can't seemed to stay healthy.

Great effort on Greenlaws part. I was worried Pete was going to target him nonstop and he did.

Hard to guard those one handed duck/jump ball catches made by the freakin no name Tight End.

Here are the three: Run- Coverage - snaps

Kwon - 38 -----81 - 243

Dre - 59 ------ 68 - 357

Fred - 33 ----- 71 - 502

On balance, one could make a case that Greenlaw has been the best of the three so far. He is clearly the best run defender and the equal of Warner in coverage, and not that far below Alexander in coverage.

Hope Dre can continue to keep playing good & making plays in this defense. He fits right in for sure
