I for one am not over looking Hager. I wanted to see how they used him. I actually like him more than Kiser. He's far more versatile. He's got safety type speed and good length. He can match up with RBs and TEs in coverage.
The problem with Littleton (4.73) is his lack of speed which limits the coverage options. He is a strictly zone cover LB. Littleton got burned twice today because he couldn't play man coverage. Kiser has marginal speed in coverage (4.66), but more than that he has very poor technique. He will need intensive coaching up in that area.
Until I see Kiser play I'm not going to pass judgement, but right now the known factor is Hager and I'm glad to see him getting reps.
Reps in what way ?? Safety speed !! Lol - oh yeah. I forgot Eric Weddle is the FS. His lack of speed really showed on Tuesday. I’m not saying he isn’t an excellent player,just his speed lacks.
Hager will get his reps, but so will other players. JL55 was not even 4.66. Glad they brought him back,.
Littleton showed good coverage in the Super Bowl. NE did win the game because of the Gronk catch on a player they made Littleton chase Gronk. I thought Littleton had good coverage running 20 plus yards 3 straight times. Romo called it the first time,saying same play. Then again the third time, when Brady made a nice throw over Littleton & in between 2 db’s Converging
