Experience at cornerback for two years, converted to safety in Miami's Cover Two scheme which rarely separates responsibilities of free and strong safety.

In 2018, Redwine finished fourth on Miami with 64 tackles, added 3.5 tackles for loss, three sacks and tied for the Miami Hurricanes team lead with three interceptions. He also had a fumble recovery and forced fumble.



From thedraftnetwork:

Coverage - Experienced functioning in a variety of techniques including reps in man coverage. Has the size, strength and mobility to carry tight ends and bigger slots into space with adequate pattern matching ability. Zone awareness can be lacking, with inconsistency layering coverage and jumping routes to his area.

Tackling - Generally a good form tackler that aims low, wraps up and accelerates his feet through contact. Does well to arrive under control and balanced. Hitting power and contact balance is excellent.

Processing - Isn’t the fastest processor and his trigger can be tardy but he’s not often out of position. Zone awareness is modest at best. Would like to see him more aggressive to squeeze windows. Can be too willing to allow a reception and set himself up to tackle instead of disrupting at the catch point.

Ball Skills - Ability to play the ball in the air is hit or miss; doesn't always find it or get his head around in time. Ball skills are notably better playing forward than with his back to the line of scrimmage. Too cautious when breaking on the ball, often opting for the tackle.

Range - Covers plenty of ground playing forward and pursuing towards the sideline. Do not love his range as a one high safety. Does well to play off contact in pursuit. Angles are generally sound but there are times his trigger can be quicker and take a more aggressive track.

Physicality - Is a physical tackler that does well to wrap low and bring his feet through contact. Never guilty of playing passive when given a chance to be physical. Willing to take on blocks in space and exchange power with whomever crosses his path. Sniffs out run plays and quick passes well and works to the football with urgency.

Play Speed - Has good athletic ability for the position and he won’t often be out-athleted. With that said, his processing skills are often tardy and he doesn’t get ahead of plays. Would love to see him play more confidently to complement what he offers athletically.

Flexibility - Has good enough change of direction skills and fluidity in his transitions. Fairly springy when driving off his plant foot. Easy mover in space. Can turn tight angles and carry speed through them.

Versatility - Can play in the box and split zones. Not ideally suited for single high looks. Has upside in man coverage and should be a standout on special teams.

BEST TRAIT - Physicality

WORST TRAIT - Slow Trigger




According to PFF:

Redwine earned career highs in overall grade (81.6) and coverage grade (85.9). He also recorded 35 defensive stops in 2017 and 2018 combined.
 
Couple of other things:

Blocked 4 kicks just last year, he is an extremely good special teams player.

His RAS and SPARQ are out of this world. Outside of his height and weight, he is an upper percentile as a safety in all of his jumps and movement skills.

Some guys that compare to him at safety include Cedric Griffin, Donte Whitner and Louis Delmas. Athletically, he's almost identical to Seneca Wallace, Reche Caldwell, and Will Blackmon.

I think his upside is Jordan Poyer with better in the box skills.
 
His jersey is going to be exceptionally marketable. Anyone who loves the Browns and red wine has to consider wearing this jersey, right? I'd wear one wine tasting.
 
It's way too tacky for any and all California wineries... which is why I want one.
I'd wear one to a wine tasting, say every wine was bad, and when people disagreed, I'd ask them how salty their lunch was because their pallette is way off.

I think the move while wine tasting is to wear the jersey, then play on your phone Red Red Wine by UB40 on repeat.

Sure the jersey is tacky, but the white washed Reggae music playing in the back ground on repeat just adds a whole new layer of tacky.
 
Redwine fits in nicely with the Baker, Kitchens, etc. theme we're building.

Now we just need to bring in Cook and some dude called pork chops.

Bring in Jerry Rice and Jack Ham to the coaching staff and pick up Frostee Rucker and Beanie Wells.
 
Has anyone interviewed Panthers cornerback Corn Elder about the passing of Niners scout and former NFL running back Reggie Cobb?

I ask because...

I wanted to hear a take from Corn on the Cobb tragedy.
