My favorite teams
We have tape that shows that Callahan excelled at the Nickel position. We don't quite know what Skrine has done recently at NB, but we do know that he is highly penalized CB that also allows for a high passer rating in recent years. Skrine did once play well at NB, and I certainly hope he returns to that form. But that's an if right now, and that's why I consider him a downgrade. I certainly hope I am wrong, but based on what I've seen from both players, I can't help but consider Skrine a drop off in talent.
I dunno. Larsen didn't perform well for us the last time around, and he was more highly touted back then. Not even sure if he would even be a fit anyway since he's a zone blocking OL, if I remember correctly. Although I hope to be wrong, I don't think Larsen has better availability. He missed half of 2017 on IR and he has lots of miles on his tread.
Skrine has great film from when he played inside and as for Larsen and Kush. 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other. It's not just how often you get beat it how badly as well. When Kush got beat his guy appeared undetained. He just doesn't have the feet for this O. He also had better players flanking him while that happened. He was active for all but 1 game last season and didn't start any of the last 9 games when we needed help. They started Witzmann toward the end of the year instead of an available Kush. Team had seen enough. We all hope Larsen doesn't need to see the field beyond ST but the same could be said of Kush. If they were starter quality they wouldn't be on our bench.
