Was it a good sign that they buried him again? Or that in the last 6 weeks of the regular season, he played all of 4 defensive snaps?
There's really nothing to indicate that he improved as the season went on. His playing time doesn't suggest it and one play in coverage on Hopkins doesn't suggest it.
Like Gaines - if you trust him to start next season, it's based on absolutely nothing but blind faith. There's not a single thing in his performance or use rate last season that suggests he's ready to be a player in this league or that he ever will be.

That was at nickel, where they obviously don't feel he's ready. Hence why I mentioned redshirting him. In the Texans game, they threw him out there because he was on the outside where he likely feels more comfortable.
Good thing we aren't the front office/coaching staff, as they've had time in practice for an entire season to see what they have in him and make that decision themselves.
I clearly stated I would prefer to sign a guy like Lane that can be insurance for both guys and compete for both jobs, so I don't know why you're even arguing with me here.
As for Gaines, I have no doubt he can get the job done if he stays healthy. His biggest concern is health.
