A lot of the plays he made were plays he was beaten but the ball placement allowed his make up speed to come into play. Later with better QB play he just was beat. To me he isn't sticky enough. It is good he has the speed to make up for getting beat, but his guys get open. Alot.

For a guy who's supposedly fast I saw him get beat past 15 yards quite a bit last year and just didn't look like he could make up the distance between him and his guy once his guy was able to get even with him. Seemed a lot better in deep zone making plays coming downhill.

I’m no expert but he seems to excel at zone coverage but gets dominated on man coverage.

In an ideal world we'd be playing man-match in the secondary but I think Forbes got beaten there when the receiver entered his zone and he converted to man coverage. I think it's a big reason we moved to more pure zone near the end of the season, we just didn't have the guys to play man-match.

BTW, I think man-match is going away in the NFL in general. Defenses have gotten really good at beating it's rules so zone match is starting to take over. I still have a hard time describing the difference but zone match is basically the zone you play isn't predetermined, the WR's route early in the down determines your zone drop.
