So Deondre Alford and Holm are a crap DB?  You know, the Alford who has been in the NFL ever since our '21 season?  They are all the same height...

Height ONLY matters for the 50/50 ball.  We can only wish our guys were in position to contest 50/50 balls!  What we need more is to have our guys be able to just get to RECs around the time the ball arrives, and be able to tackle.  So far the only one doing that is The Major!!

And The Major is going slightly off-script when he sees a sure thing.  In this last game he single-handedly stopped a drive!  Read a screen and dropped his guy for a loss, then pasted his guy on a wide-out we usually give for free, but held him 3-4Y short.  No other DB we have is doing anything of the sort.

He's literally the best guy we have right now.  Even better than Holm (for now...).  Teams would be smart to throw to the non-Major side from now on.
Never go full Johnston!

Yep no problem with Major's size, he's looking like the Bombers outstanding rookie nominee with the potential to graduate to halfback eventually. Moxie signing looking like a mistake, his coverage is decent but he isn't very physical.  Maybe he's nursing an injury as I suspect Holm might be as well, he's usually not one to miss tackles and he's wearing a full arm sleeve on one arm.
