[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1064485, member: 18006"] The difference is, though, that McKinney already excelled in New York - he was a Top 5 safety in 2023. Hobbs was good when healthy, and may very well do better in our D than with the Raiders. I spent some time on Raiders forums after we signed him, and they almost universally say the same thing about him - "Very good slot corner, QBs don't like to throw at him. Tough, aggressive tackler, but gets toasted outside because he lacks downfield speed and is stiff in the hips". It's pretty rare that I see an entire forum almost unanimously say the exact same thing about a player, but the consensus is strong that he belongs in the slot. However, a few fans did say that it might be their system. They didn't elaborate on why, but speculated that if he were used differently, he might have done better. Hie misses a lot of games, but not as many as Alexander. His last 3 seasons, he's averaged fewer than 12 games, and while he played 16 his rookie year, he had a significant injury that year too but played through it because he was scared of not making the team. The injuries seem to almost all be ankle injuries, except for a broken hand one year and missing a game for covid. Good idea, that may be a really good role for him. You're right, he was drafted as a safety, but we seem to be well-stocked at that position now, and he may have a hard time beating Williams out for a starting spot. [/QUOTE]
