Nickel corner is NOT a backup. Maybe in 1990, but not now.Or..... you could say: "Dallas Cowboys are changing their best short corner".

Mr. Pass Interference Drown Brown is a dimeback at best, but he honestly sucks. He's very fast but that's it, bad awareness bad coverage, though he's very good for special teams. I'd honestly rather use Heath at dimeback over Brown. Brown can be the quarter back (not to be confused with quarterback) since we don't have Dez anymore.Anthony Brown is 1 inch taller with 1/3 the talent of Lewis
Let the coach, coach. If he doesn't fit his system, then so be it. I'm sure he will get his opportunity,if he earns it.The Dallas Cowboys seek to boost coverage under former Seattle Seahawks’ secondary guru Kris Richard. Demoting his best cover corner is not a good start.
Dallas Cowboys minicamps often include experimentation so depth chart moves at this point should be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, one can only judge off past or present roster decisions.
The current backseat usage of corner Jourdan Lewis is every bit worthy of critique and then some. The team’s most talented cover corner is no longer starting outside.
Instead Lewis is being limited to starting slot snaps while a converted safety and fellow 2017 draftee man the outside. Slot coverage is important but this setup is reducing the snaps of a player the defense needs to get the most from.
New secondary coach Kris Richard has vocally stated his preference for big corners. Apparently Lewis (5’10, 195) is being slighted for not fitting the height mold.
I guess these current NFL corners aren’t worthy of starting outside…Casey Hayward (2016 / 2017 Pro Bowl), Kyle Fuller (NFL All-Rookie Team), Adam Jones (2014 All-Pro, 2015 Pro Bowl), Brent Grimes (4-time Pro Bowler). None of those are over 5’11, 192.
Shouldn’t the master of Seattle’s infamous Legion of of Boom secondary know best?

No he wasnt. Lewis came in to the league as the better cover corner. Suggesting otherwise is nonsense
Ooooh you said a bad word. I'm tellingHere we go with this **** now.
Ermmm... he was good for a rookie, but let's not act like he made every play possible.
Getting beat for GW TD vs GB
Grabbing on 4th and Forever vs Oak
He had ups and downs. To my eye- Awuzie is the CB to watch. I thought he flashed nothing but upside after he came back from injury.
Let Richard coach. We owe Jourdan Lewis nothing to date imo.
Ooooh you said a bad word. I'm telling
Pretty sure u just made that upPretty sure Awuzie outplayed him last year

Pass Interference Brown is a dime corner at best and I'd play Heath as a dimeback over him, seriously. At least Heath doesn't foul every damn time a ball is thrown his way. Heath uses his hands to catch the ball, Brown uses his hands to grab the enemy's jersey. Seriously.Oh I know but Brown is starting over Lewis in the nickel this mini camp
Hard to knock Lewis there as there are probably two-three corners in the league who would have been able to stop that touchdown pass....
Wanted to get a head start on the rest of the leagueCowboys set 53 and depth chart after minicamp to get a jump on the rest of the NFL
You can when it's clear YOU are the target from the previous play.
Look, Lewis played decently overall. My mindset is let the Coach, Coach. And IMO, Awuzie was the better player by season's end last year, and is the better prospect to date.

He's not. Lewis is.Lewis is awesome, both in coverage and tackling, but the OP is ridiculous.
Awuzie is far and away our best corner and has the opportunity to cement himself as one of the best in the NFL this year.
Lewis will be playing the Thurmond/Coleman/Scandrick slot which is pretty much an every down player unless the other team uses a fullback. He's perfect for the slot in Richard's scheme.
