I can tell you right now that it won't happen, Wade sees him as a FS, and has said as much

true sago, but i am beginning to wonder, maybe courtney brown is one of those players, that dont play good in practice, but in games he does, like franco harris did.
since, we are having so much trouble at cornerback, why not try courtney brown in certain situations, weve got nothing to lose, I say try him at cb.

I know it is after the fact, but who was the CB in the Supplemental Draft that some were raving about? I wonder how he is doing this preseason.

i have to admit that i have been confused by the fact that Wade has put Brown at FS and said that he would have to make the team that way.
Which seems like a tall order from the beginning since the best he could do is be the 3rd string, which at FS means he would be on special teams all year and never see the field on defense unless injuries came up.
I guess i would like to at least hear some more reasoning from the coaches as to why Brown HAS to be a safety and cannot be a CB, does he lack speed? lack flexibility? I realize that he did college ball at lower competition, but as i recall in scouting reports at the draft that the QBs he faced in college avoided him his last year b/c he could shut the WR down.
I trust the coaching staff obviously and respect their opinions on the players, but a little more detail as to why he's a better safety than corner would be nice.

I'm pretty sure he's at safety to give him the best chance to make an impact this year. If you go back and read some of his interviews, he states that he has never really been coached to play cornerback (technique-wise). And the footwork required to play safety is much easier than corner.
I basically see him as at best a nickel free safety this year. If he's on the roster past this year, he may get a look at corner.
He's also the fastest gunner on kickoffs. He's about 3-5 yards faster than Watkins on that 60 yard dash. He's also forced a couple wedge guy to block him a couple times, which isn't really in the job description of gunners.
