Broaddus: Linebacker Shuffle, Romo's Arm Strength Among 12 Thoughts

How does playing him at S and N/DLB not take away his corner reps? That's exactly what it does. There are only a certain number of reps to go around. Say they have 50 practice reps, if he gets 20 reps at S, 10 NCB,10 CB, 10 NLB, as opposed to 35 at corner, then yeah, he lost reps.

I guess it's not as big a deal in the off season when everyone is rotating anyway, but during the season when the starters are getting 75% of the reps its going to make a big difference.

I get what you're trying to say. Your rationale is he is playing reps at other positions when he would just be watching otherwise. My rationale is, I think he is good enough that, during the season at least, he'd be a starter and wouldn't be watching even if he only played one position. He'd be getting starter reps.

Barring injury he's not going to be a starter anytime soon
They've made it pretty clear how the positions will start the season
If there is an injury he would probably still only come in when Patmon moved to the slot
Patmon is the 3rd cb
He will get lots more reps playing the NICKLE at lb and some safety
He's been doing that in camp
He hasn't struggled to learn at all
If they thought he was ready to be the starter then they would have named him starter
They see him everyday and they know much more than we do where he fits best

He Better. We are going to have to throw the ball 60 times a game, since we don't have a running back capable of averaging 1ypc on the roster.. Man we will rue the day we didn't pick a RB in the 6 th round.. that would have been our savior this season, only if.. only if.. /sarcasm

None if what you said is true.
