Thor99 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yes he is. No he didn't. Walls held the fort against Jordy Nelson, one of the better receivers in the game. No big plays and very little YAC. In the 1st Q Walls had a PD and gave up 2 catches for 36 yards. One was a ridiculous acrobatic one, where he couldn't do much other than what he did. In the 2nd quarter, Allen was lined up against Nelson for the most part. Most of the damage in the 2nd was done by Cobb (Wilson) and a penalty on Allen. Milliner was also into the game by the second quarter, and we all know how that worked out in the third. Watch the game. Notre Dame, FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deucebag Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I don't know what it was, and I'm not usually someone who watches players and just decides instantaneously they're great/awful, but watching Milliner get embarrassed by Nelson on that TD totally soured me on him. I just don't think he's good or is going to be good. WE COULD HAVE HAD EIFERT. Milliner was certainly not worthy of his draft position - we all knew that, but I do not believe he is all that bad - my biggest fear with him is the injury bug...he will probably be a decent corner in the future, but far from a shut down corner, I was more annoyed by Pryor's whiff. He's got to be in position to make the big hit there - there was no one else in the pattern what the heck was he doing? Imagine he comes flying in and knocks Jordy unconsious in that spot. And what about Rex, why was he leaving Milliner on an island with Nelson??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Milliner should see Jordy Nelson in his nightmares. Only with binoculars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 you can "Rex Up" these CBs all you want, they aren't good. i did watch the game. i watched Jordy Nelson bring down jump balls over #30 in the first half without #30 even turning his head. I watched the CBs constantly giving 8-10 yd cushions on 3rd and short. i don't think i saw press coverage all day. you can scheme up blitzes all you want, but a good QB isn't going to be fooled by them all game. When has Rex ever "Rex'd up" a corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Apparently Milliner's ankle tightened up pretty bad in the 2nd half... Yes! I just saw the game again and he was actually good in the first half. Most guys in here are still traumatized. Doesn't matter now. He has already been declared a bust.

CM28 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Doesn't matter now. He has already been declared a bust. He´s no Wilson just yet. He finished the season great and i have high hopes for him. Don´t really care what fans think of him since they can´t know for sure how he will pan out.

#27TheDominator Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 He still has a lot of the same timing problems from last year. Most notably getting his head around to play the ball. Regardless it was very obvious he was not 100% yesterday. He takes a lot of false steps and looks like Bambi on ice whenever the receiver he's covering goes into his break. I don't know what it was, and I'm not usually someone who watches players and just decides instantaneously they're great/awful, but watching Milliner get embarrassed by Nelson on that TD totally soured me on him. I just don't think he's good or is going to be good. WE COULD HAVE HAD EIFERT. I know you DVR'ed the game. Go back and watch the first half. Judging a player off of one play makes perfect sense, I know, but c'mon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 When has Rex ever "Rex'd up" a corner? Antonio Cromartie. Dude was a pretty good cover corner and total pu$$y in San Diego. From 2010-2012 he was the only corner in the NFL to be ranked top 10 by PFF all three seasons, and I recall several times where he made big hits on tackles.

shasta14 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Milliner is good and you will all be saying it by midseason. Just curious what could possibly lead you to this conclusion? Honestly, is I blind hope over reality? When 85% of what he's shown on the field is pure suck, and the rest below average, how in the hell can you say he's good? Because he played ok against the Bills? Because he's your binky and you want him to be good? There is no one with an ounce of objectivity that can look at milliner and come away saying " that's it, that's what we're looking for at CB, this guys going to be great" He flat out sucks.

Integrity28 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Are we really beating up Milliner because he was rushed onto the field from a high ankle sprain? Really? Does anyone here actually watch football? Has anyone here ever seen the way a high ankle sprain can make a player a shell of themselves for weeks on end? Milliner gave it a shot, because he was asked to. Find me one player that wouldn't give it a shot for a master motivator when asked? I swear to God some of you will do anything to avoid blaming the head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milliner was playing well in the first half. He should've pulled himself in the second when the ankle started giving him problems. I read that he did tap out at one point because he "wasnt' moving like he wanted to". Also, since when is it up to the player to take themselves out when they aren't performing? Now that responsibility doesn't belong to the coach either? If Milliner looks hurt and is losing us the game, it is up to the coach to make adjustments in both scheme and personnel.

Integrity28 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The question is, should he sit this week? Early in the game, Walls was covering Nelson, with safety help and doing a decent job (when the safety help got there, unfortunately our rookie safety looks a half-tick late in his reactions because he's still green and diagnosing the play slower than a veteran would). Milliner got beat when Rex isolated him on Nelson. All we can hope for is that Rex and Marty grow balls and let Geno chuck it in a shootout. Maybe our DL can get to Cutler and force some of those things... what are they called???? Turnovers???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the player doesn't report to the coach and tell him his ankle isn't right, how is the coach to know?

I don't know slats... maybe watching the game, the scoreboard, the player being picked on to the point of the win slipping away? I mean Rex came in knowing it was a high ankle sprain, knowing how long they usually take to heal, and knowing that Milliner was on the field in less time than that usually is... none of those variables could be weighed by the coach as he watches the game? He needs the player to tell him? Gimme a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
