Skrine plays inside leverage off of the snap. Once again, the Carolina Panthers put their top wideout Robby Anderson in the slot. What is interesting about that route by Brown is that we have that seen that work against Skrine earlier this year. From there, the better athlete with a step and grass won. Skrine plays leverage to take away the inside route, and Brown bursts into open space. In the slot, Brown has obvious advantages to attack in the inside but has more room to work outside as well compared to when he lines up closer to the sideline. In the play below, you can see how the Tennessee Titans were able to get their best wideout A.J. The Chicago Bears defense does not allow many mismatches, but Jefferson against Skrine could clearly be one. On the flip side, Jefferson ranks 13th in yards after the catch from the slot, and 2nd in yards from the slot, behind Davante Adams. He ranks 10th in yards allowed after the catch from the slot. Skrine ranks 2nd in yards allowed from the slot, with only Taron Johnson allowing more, according to PFF. However, Jefferson will also move into the slot and matchup with Buster Skrine. Jefferson will square off with the rookie Jaylon Johnson, who has met almost every challenge he has faced.
That means that he will hardly see Kyle Fuller, who will instead see Thielen most of the day. We all know that the Chicago Bears do not move their cornerbacks around, and they will not change for a rookie in Jefferson, especially with Adam Thielen on the other side.Īccording to PFF, Jefferson lines up on the left side 41% of the time, in the slot 41% of the time, and on the right 18%. Justin Jefferson has been a breakout rookie wide receiver, and his emergence has helped the Minnesota Vikings go 3-2 in their past five games. The Chicago Bears need to prepare for Justin Jefferson take on Buster Skrine
