From a Raiders forum...

Quote:
Amerson, if healthy ( A BIG IF), will look much better on KC defense. I think the guy is very talented but has been badly misused and poorly coached. That’s said, I think his release was mutually beneficial for both parties.

KC signing him actually helps us if there was any chance he would file and win a grievance against us. He could potentially still do so since it seems his contract isn’t fully guaranteed with KC and was guaranteed for injury with us; however, he will probaly be much less inclined to pursue this since he’s caught on with another team

And one perk:

Amerson does not count against the compensatory pick formula as he was released by Oakland.

Watch Veach do the same with Wilkerson out of New York.... :)

If we could sign Mo and draft Tim Settle, our DL could be bonkers.

He was very good before he got hurt last year.

David Amerson, CB, Oakland Raiders

Amerson was the Redskins’ second-round pick in 2013, and saw the field in every game during his rookie season. He struggled with consistency throughout the year, and finished with a relatively low coverage grade, which placed him 92nd out of 110 cornerbacks. Last season his coverage grade dropped even further, and he slid all the way down to 106th at his position. Amerson was released after Week 1 this season, and was subsequently picked up by the Raiders, where he’s been a completely different player ever since.

The former NC State standout posted a positive production grade in 2015, despite being targeted 104 times (sixth-most among NFL CBs). On those targets, he allowed just 58 completions and one touchdown. He tied for fifth overall with 13 passes defensed, and also picked off four passes. Last season, he allowed more completions (61) on fewer targets (91), and an NFL-high 10 touchdowns when targeted. Quarterbacks had a 140.2 rating when targeting Amerson in 2014; this season, that number has dropped to 62.7. His improvements have brought him up to an 83.4 overall grade, good for 15th out of all cornerbacks this season.

No shit. That would be a mini-fantasy offseason....

Point being, who other than Khalil Mack has been consistently good in that defense for the past several years? No one since Asomugha.

Amerson is coming here on a prove-it deal, and he gets to play in a secondary with 3 Pro Bowl/AP level players around him. If it’s my money, I’d bet on him having success.
this they obviously think he can be coached back up. the raiders d was nothing special last year.

I liken it to what Belichick did with Stephon Gilmore. He was struggling the last year or two in Buffalo, but BB knew he could maximize his ability. Which he did. Gilmore was great in the playoffs for them.

Now, Amerson doesn’t have his talent, but he’s got a lot more than most CBs.

Can he play safety?

Amerson is a great athlete. Eye discipline and risk assessment seem to be his issues. Overly aggressive/not playing within the system gets him in trouble. Maybe Sutton can play more press with the stable he has now, which hopefully means more commitment to pressure.

I forget who the reporter was—but there was someone who said after the Smith/Fuller trade that Sutton wanted to blitz and be more aggressive than he was last year, but didn’t think he had the personnel to do so.

To me, it sounded like it came straight from the mouth of someone within the building because I know the reporter was no Chiefs fan. May have been Rapoport or Schefter.

He's better than Phillip Gaines. That's about the best thing about it

Everyone on that defense, outside of Mack, ****ing sucked. It’s a 1 year deal. Calm the **** down.

You can do a lot worse than Amerson as your #4 corner.

He might’ve sucked last year, but he’s shown the ability to be a good player before and he’s still only 26. Solid move.
