Adams out - Brooks in

[TraderGary]

Just watched the Friday PC presser. Carroll said Adams is really close but they want to give him one more week. Expecting him to practice next week and hopefully will be on the field against the Niners.

Said Brooks had a great week and looked full speed. Will definitely play and expects him to play considerably. Pete sounded excited about him.

That's great news. We're going to need Brooks speed against Kyler. In reading between the lines, I believe Brooks will get the start ahead of Barton. Pete's words to that question were "you'll have to wait and see".

Here's the link if you want to watch it.

Brooks is really everything you'd want to see in a linebacker prospect. Can play the run, rush the passer, drop into coverage, shoot gaps, has speed, has smarts... I'm excited to see him suit up. It's all a matter of getting him snaps so that he can get used to the game speed and start putting it together.

Yes I'm excited to see what he brings to the table as well. Didn't get to see much of him before he got hurt. I know people are still pissed about us taking Brooks over Queen, which I was curious about as well. But the jury is still out on that as far as I'm concerned.

Forgot to mention in my original post, apparently Snacks Harrison is not ready yet. Pete said they're still trying to work him into game shape. Damn, he must have really come in out of shape. Apparently too many "snacks". :lol:

I believe that Brooks played spy against Kyler Murray when Texas Tech played Oklahoma. Maybe used the same with at least some familiarity. Brooks speed can’t hurt and Neal is playing great so I’m glad Jamal Adams has time to FULLY heal. Groin injuries last forever if you don’t baby it. Rather have him for the big games ahead and the playoffs. That’s the luxury a 5-0 start gives ya.

Unless that i9s his soul assignment I doubt you make Brooks a spy and play a role in the defense otherwise, he has hardly played yet, we have Safeties that we can use in a role as run and spy support that are more adept in the defense.

I know it's a bubble burst, but you don't put a guy with limited practice on a #1 WR either if you have a choice.

I think having Adam’s not playing in this game may be the difference in winning and losing against the cardinals team.
Hope I’m wrong.

Yeah, same here man, same here. I got a bad feeling about this game. :tardssmall:


edit: And I really like Neal too. It's just, he's not Adams.

Hope our guys come in to play hungry. This is a must win for the Cards and they're coming in off a big performance. We have a 2 game cushion. They can ill afford to fall 3 behind us so will be desperate to get the W.

Adams is the prefect Murray eraser. Also felt like Adams will handle Kittle well.

If we were not coming off the Bye and AZ was not coming off a big MNF win I think we would be taking an L. Right now I think this one is too close to call.

True but spying a QB as a LB isn’t too far a stretch on some down and distance situational moments. His speed will help I think.

Wasn't thinking of Brooks as a spy. Was just thinking his speed will be an asset in pursuit.

I see Jordyn Brooks as the perfect Spy against Kyler Murray. Brooks is sudden, fast, and I believe, quick enough to bring down Murray.

This is just my opinion, but I think it might be easier on a Rookie to get such an assignment. Study Kyler's tape from College and the NFL to look for running habits and "tells," and then watch him. The biggest thing Jordyn needs to learn, IMHO, is to identify where the ball is.

When they drafted Brooks, I thought it was part of the plan to win in the NFCW where teams run the ball and use lots of motion, or "Pullers" as BWagz calls them.

You may very well be right but I was thinking they may bring one of the safeties up to be the spy, similar to what they were doing with Adams before he got hurt.
