[You Play to Win the Game]

Hope it isn't another Arthur Brown. Both second round picks.

Who knows. He got early rave reviews in camp and showed well enough in preseason. I dont think he's A Brown. They need to figure out what they want to do with him. ILB or OLB.

He's in a weird spot, I wonder if he's not activated if Dumervil is back. He's definitely behind Judon / Z. Smith as a rusher. If McClellan is still being used in some of the passing downs but not as a rusher, doesn't seem like he has a spot. 

 

At this point just move him inside for this year. McClellan has been OK, but not good enough that Correa shouldn't have a shot at taking some of his snaps away...

I don't think Correa is an Arthur Brown, I just think they need to define what they want to do with him.   I would put him inside because I think that is where they need depth.  The problem there though is  the two guys manning the inside,  Orr and CJ are playing very well.  It is okay for Correa to be the odd man out as long as when the chance comes he gets his shot and takes advantage of it.  He is big, Strong and quick and as Dennis Pitta will attest to, has a mean streak.

He is 2 games into his career. if he is inactive, it is not the end of the world.

The OL issues, especially in the run game,  aren't because of just one guy. 

I agree but I think he is the weak link.  Never been a fan and he wasn't really highly rated when we traded for him either.  Just looked at as decent, middle of the road type guy.  He seems to get pushed around a lot.

Just seems to say something about Correa that Judon is getting PT and he's inactive.

[SportsGuy]

A big strength of Correa was his ability to cover.  I wonder how he has looked in practice at that?

Ehhh...Judon has a particular skill that is more advanced that Correa at this point and that skill is highly sought after.

 

To be honest, the bigger issue is that Henry is an inactive so far and Pierce has been really good.  They are the same position.

 

Its not that Henry is a bad pick but it adds fuel to the fire that trading up to get Jack in R2 and using some of the picks that you had would have been a smart move.

Right or moreso his ability to do both. I'd like to see Correa in more rotation with Judon than McLellan if he's active as the season moves on.

I would also assume Correa hasn't looked good in ST.

[GabeFerguson]

I've read Correa has a long way to go and is fairly raw.

It's not that surprising tbh. He had the look of a tweener coming out of college. I was excited to see if he crack the starting unit as an ILB, but he clearly isn't ready for that either. 

 

I'm trying not to be overly pessimistic, but it's not ideal when your 2nd round pick can't get on the field at a position where the team is fairly thin right now.

I think he was a better fit in Kubiak's offense. Having him pull and move people at the point of attack is not his game imo.
