Could Morris Claiborne be benched in favor of former undrafted player?

What? You really think that Garrett is thinking about how to put pressure on Brees? If he wants to win he would put in Scandrick and Moore can be watch the slot.

Sterling Moore has been thrown at 10 times this year and has given up 8 completions. Scandrick is one of the best slot corners in the game.

Good plan.

Mo hasn't lived up to his draft status, but people want to act like he's just getting torched all the time. He's not. Carr got beat deep a couple of times and a good throw yields a long completion. What if those passes were caught? Are we then benching Carr and Mo in favor of Moore and Patmon? Corners get beat, that's the nature of the league today.

Broaddus was asked, given the chance what you trade Claiborne for? He replied "teams scout teams

I see people saying bench him and see how he responds but didn't he lose the starting job to Scandrick last year? I could have swore they benched him out of the starting line up last year and he didn't respond to it then, or now, so I don't see how benching him again is going to do anything. The guy simply doesn't respond to that sort of thing.

He's simply not good enough. That's how it is.

I will say this though. He doesn't get any front help either. We have no pressure on QBs. It wouldn't matter if he was a good, or even great, corner with the pass rush we have on this team. He'd get eaten alive regardless because we can't pressure QBs on anything that even remotely resembles a regular basis.
