yeah... well I guess that could work too.... lolbig dog cowboy;3780769 said:Why don't we improve the pass rush back to one of the best in the NFL, bring in a real secondary coach and leave TNew at CB?

Lets break EVERYTHING that works. In the name of Madden. Amen.

Thew problem is, such a move is contingent on our team either drafting a highly talented CB with our #9 pick in the draft, or signing a talented CB in free agency.
However, I suppose that if we decieded to trade down a few spots from the #9 pick, we may be able to pick up a pretty good CB like Janoris Jenkins and still address our O-Line as well with someone like Soldier or Crimini. Either way, as long as we get some promising talent at CB in the first round or find someone in free agency, then think this plan would be a good one. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see how the chips fall in the offseason to get a better idea of how we can utilize our talent.

He also tackles well for a CB, but he's too undersized and frail to to be able to withstand a pounding in run support as a safety. You have to be able to play closer to the line and move through the big bodies to make stops. I think he'd struggle with that aspect of it.
