Karl Paymah

I for one am sorry to lose hum. He was one of three CB’s drafted in 05 (in the third round). They are all now gone. At the time, someone commented that he was maybe the most talented, but had never played zone in college so it maight take awhile for him to get some playing time. He never really got much, with Champ Bailey and Dre Bly and Darrent Williams and Domonique Foxworth ahead of him.
I’ve seen him make some really athletic plays. He also blew some the last couple years, but the coaching was lousy and even Bailey blew some plays. I think he may turn out to be a player we should not have let get away.

I like the guy. Under-appreciated, badly used, he still did fairly well – we can’t blame the player for the scheme. So long, Karl – all the best.

He’s a decent enough player, but I doubt he ever ammounts to much more than what he is today.

cover skills are suspect. Probably would not have made the team last year if Foxworth had not been traded.

are of me screaming at the TV, “DAMMIT PAYMAH!!! TERRIBLE COVERAGE!!!!” But I also remember a couple of decent plays that he made. But I can’t really give a true analysis of his abilities because our coaching staff misused our DB’s so badly it should have been a crime. To me, he’s just kind of a “meh” player. I guess he’ll be a good fit in your defense as a nickel and surrounded by all the talent you have.

is a decent Zone Corner. If you ask him to play too much man to man he will wear down and get burned quickly! That said as a nickle he wouldn’t be a bad option. Paymah is a solid tackler and can wrap up a guy from the front but don’t ask him to chase a guy down. give him five yards space and hes okay don’t press him. He doesn’t have swivel hips and the felixibility you look for in a corner but he has some decent hands. His decisions get him into trouble the most which can be fixed with coaching. Frazier may do him some good!

He will make a great play and then a bonehead one the next ime around, maybe new coaching can help him reach his potential.

Salary considerations were likely of paramount importance. It’s a tough time for Denver to ante up, and if Foxworth’s contract was an indication, Paymah was able to get a little more than they were willing to pay for him.

Which isn’t too shabby at all.
