Ok. Jason Verrett thread starts now.

Side note: He had some heat on his feet. Lol

Also, wanted to briefly go over why I do threads and what I was looking for. My threads are typically longer because I post anything notable. Also, I do not know coverages.. I’m not in meetings.. so I’ll tell you what I think but can’t say for certain.

Alright.. 1st play. Receiver motioned down so it forced him to play off. Did a good job settling his feet and "taking the charge" as I like to call it. Now just keep the receiver in tight a little. Be a little stronger at the top. Not a bad rep. Not worried about getting ran by.

1st qtr flew by. 49ers mostly had the ball

Here's Verrett.. Opens up protecting the go but anticipating the stop. Some guys open and go with no anticipation of a stop. That's not good lol. Very good by Verrett here. Sticky

Plays press with more feet than hands. Good. Remember press is an alignment not a technique. Hips feet and eyes all work together here on the turn and run with Slayton. Got in phase lookin to play chest to chest.Very encouraging rep considering we didnt know if he could still run

Free play for NY... again though.. nice turn and run.. staying with receiver.. got in phase before getting his eyes back. Good!

Good route attacking leverage. I was encouraged by Verrett's fluid movements here. The confidence in his movements. All injury concerns went out the window when I saw that. Now where he can improve HERE.. At the top of the route he got his eyes back to the QB. That got him lost.

Again good patience. Ready to run but anticipating the stop route. Good stuff. So far consistent with it.

Also good rep by Johnson. A couple of good coverage reps on this drive after 2 bad. Didn't get in his own head. Good job staying square and flattening off the route.

Wanted to post this b/c again, showing good anticipation while still running with the vert. You see him kinda settle his feet. Good feel. If this stays consistent he we likely challenge everything thrown his way.

Was really impressed with this. Showed me his level of confidence in himself. Right before the half you can get away w/playing softer and keeping the play in front of you. Nope, He's still being aggressive and ready to jump a route. Anticipation. I'll use that a lot here

Good at the top of the route.. Good eyes.. squeeze squeeze squeeze.. play aggressive through the hands. Really good rep. Challenging everything. I like it. That's Slayton who I really like.

Screen. You have to react and shoot before that OL can get to you lol If you dont, its ugly. He shoots fast enough here.. great tackle. Great rep.

2man rep. Get in a position to trail and undercut the route. Maybe the only time I saw them run this coverage but that's pretty much text book. Some like to be more aggressive in 2 man at the LOS. I like just getting in a trail. Undercut route. Good rep.

Now here I'm not sure. I'm not in meetings. Looks like what Jets ran last week. Saw Ahkello peel off the vert.. Is Verret supposed to to see it sooner? I think that out is his responsibility.

Good job here. Still anticipating the stop. Receiver goes vert.. he collides and runs with him. Now, they may or may not call illegal contact lol depends on how the ref is feeling. All in all... good rep

Anticipation. You can see him settle his feet so he's not just running out of there. Good. And then before the receiver commits to the dig you can see him already starting inside. Good good good.

Holding here. I thought it was closer to illegal contact on the double move. Either way you'd rather hold and collide than let a receiver run free for 6 lol. Attack that upfield shoulder

TV copy

Those are the type of plays you'd probably be more frustrated with if he were getting beat. But he had an excellent game so he gets a pass there lol

Quarters? Not sure if he's reading 2 pushing upfield. Was a little late squeezing. Great job by Williams on the initial PBU.

For someone with his eyes to the QB his anticipation is great lol. That was the only place the ball could be thrown/caught. Receiver made a great toe tapping catch. This was really exciting to see.. I'll explain why below.

I watched Hokpins have 14 catches on 49ers. Most of which it was soft coverage with him catching passes and not being challenged at all. I get it's Hopkins but make him work for those 14 catches. This clearly wasn't Hopkins but challenge him. I love it

And regardless of who's out there I'm watching how Verrett's playing against. He's settling his feet and challenging everything. Settle feet, run the dig for the receiver. If its thrown he'd challenge/contest it.

Last clip. Nice turn and run.. get in phase. Nice work on the vert.

I went into watching this film wanting to see how much he trusted his body, movement skills, ability. I walked away more than impressed. If this were a random prospect you'd be really high on him. Looked like 1st round film

Was aggressive in coverage. Aggressive with his eyes. Confident in what he's feeling. I'll have to compare that to other 49ers cornerback film. I really already know how they play lol but just so that I have more of an honest assessment. All in all that was a really good outing

Now onto Philly. If Moseley and Ahkello are healthy, does Verrett start? Philly is banged up at receiver. I know who Ahkello and Moseley are. I would like to see more from Verrett. Can he continue challenging receivers? Even if he gives up more catches. What does it look like..
