Brandon Flowers?

gimme

 

Doubtful.

 

Interesting thought, he was one of the top corners in the league a few years ago, but one of the worst corners in the league last year. There is some evidence that he was simply used wrong last year though, so I think it would be a good low risk high reward type idea if we could afford him.

 

XFS is the only rookie left to sign and we have $9.6 MM in cap space. how much of that you think Flowers would eat?

 

Here's what Pro Football Focus had to say about him.

 

Houston is on the market too.

 

Yeah but Chris Houston is terrible and he's going to be 30.

 

Have him and kareem battle it out.

 

This almost makes too much sense

 

For both the Texans and for Flowers.

 

It would be good to get Flowers... Question is if he'll want to come to a 2-14 team. Especially when teams like San Francisco need help at corner.

 

Getting him would be killers.

 

Depends on if he's the guy he was in 2010 or the guy he was last year. If his collapse as a player happened due to a scheme change and coaching then it'll be awesome.

 

That's what i was thinking. I wouldn't mind the Texans giving him a shot.

 

He's got soul but he's not a soldier.

 

He's human.

 

He would easily be our best corner

 

I had to look up what "shadow corner" was, and it's probably a term coined by PFF. To boot, the article I found from them has some praise for JJo.

Here's an evaluation of Flowers' 2012 season under Crennel, coincidentally another 2-14 season.

At first glance 2013 really seems like a scheme thing, and the payout could be too huge to pass on. The trend has been that teams are investing more into the nickel corner, and having anyone but Brandon Harris there would be greatly beneficial.
