[QUOTE="SoonerPack, post: 561314, member: 9838"] I know we are barely an hour into TC but he is already making plays. Who am I speaking of? Mr. Casey Hayward, that's who! I honestly think his importance to this defensive unit can't be overstated. The ability to have a guy with 29's skill-set work the nickel allows DC added flexibility to bring pressure from multiple angles without compromising coverage. Take the two highlighted plays Casey has made today. One on the TE Bostick and the other a deep shot to the rook WR Adams. I am at work (as always) following the live blog updates and when I heard the above I couldn't help but yell "HELL YEAH!" With the current offense friendly rules you have to have CB's that use their smarts to play proper angles and leverage because more times than not physical play will draw some laundry. I know there are some exceptions to this rule i.e. the Seahawks but I think the league will keep a close eye on them more this year. Casey is a film junkie and a true student of the game. He also seems to possess this knack for being in the right place at the right time. This kid is a game changer.
