I think we're making a mistake moving Bland

If this is the actual plan, I say we leave him where he's excelled at. Let Izzy or someone else man that position, and let Bland stay where he's at. Please give your thoughts

Our defense was pretty good in the playoffs with Bland playing outside corner and Mukuamu in the slot.

My thoughts are I'm going to trust Dan Quinn's thoughts.

If this was a few years ago, I'd panic. I trust Dan Quinn to adjust to this hurdle. He's good at it, after all

Just like the OL it's about getting the best players on the field. Moving bland allows Lewis to go inside vs bringing Iggy or wright or Scott outside. Your best 3 are galimore, bland, Lewis but Lewis can't play much outside. So this is what you do and hope the rest full in when needed. But exposing those other 3 too much will hurt the defense.

Don’t you think Bland has played well enough to be given a chance to play CB. A promotion if that is what one wants to call it.

Yeah that kind of trumps everything doesn't it? I started to ponder myself, and then after reading your post I stopped. Total faith in DQ.

 

[erod]

No, this is exactly what we should do.

 

[Carson]

Don’t overthink it. Bland is confident and plays outside. until it’s an issue don’t stress it

 

[Praxit]

..I dont get paid to overthink this situation. ..lol.. I'll trust MM and DQ on this. .

 

[TheHerd]

I’m100% comfortable with whatever DQ deems the best path forward. He has a lot more relevant information and is lot more capable to make this design than anyone on this forum.

So you know something the entire Dallas Cowboys coaching staff (especially Dan Quinn) doesn't?

This is one thing we can credit Mike McCarthy and Dan Quinn. I think a lot of us still remember the Jason Garrett era all too well where injuries meant we were fighting a losing battle. McCarthy/Quinn have been next man up and that next person has typically filled their role admirably.

I don't worry about Bland until we face some tall receivers. We know he's only like 5'10" so there is danger of him getting "Moss'd" against big receivers. Until that time comes I trust him on just about anybody except guys who run sub 4.3 and there aint that many o them. But Diggs isn't some 4.3 burner either. Bland will have to rely on his technique to stay with guys who are faster than he is. But DBs have been doing that for 50 years.. I think he'll figure it out.

He's listed as six feet tall and has long arms. He'll be fine in the height department. I think you might be mistaking him for Lewis, who is only about 5'10''.

 

[conner01]

Isn’t nice to have a guy like Quinn to make that decision. Atleast it won’t be Jerry deciding lol

 

[DoctorChicken]

I trust Quinn until he gives me a reason not to.

No I know he is LISTED as 6 feet tall but having seen him alongside Diggs and Gilmore I question the accuracy of that. He looks a lot more than two inches shorter to my eye. I know J-Lew is only 5'9" which is why he is best in the slot.

Everyone here is entitled to their opinion, I don't agree with him either, but we'll find out sooner or later if he's right....
