I'm just really curious to see how all these man corners we have are going to adapt to Rod's zone.

Wonder if we will see brown dress to since twill is most likely out. Plus maybe switzer at wr.

Yes, I was thinking that too. Will Brown be active, even if Twill tries to go, but can't finish. But then who is inactive in his place if all 6 WR's are active. And with Scandrick out, can't really make another DB inactive. Wonder if they go with just 4 active WR's then. Not sure I would like that.

They were drafted for this scheme.

Playing zone is not really a physical issue. It's primarily mental.

Generally man corners have the physical ability to play zone but zone corners don't have the physical ability to play man.

These guys, Lewis, Awuzie and Brown are all smart.

There was no physical reason that Claiborne couldn't play zone but he was just waaaaaaay to dumb to do it.

It was great to see a defensive backfield that was both athletic and smart in the Giants game.

In the past they've had limited athletes like (Church, Carr) and dumb players like Claiborne and Wilcox. Or going back in time dumb players like Roy Williams.

Will Lewis even see the field?

The 4th CB in Rod's scheme doesn't see much PT.

Probably some plays to get his feet wet. Don't expect him out there on the full-time unless injuries occur.

Excited to finally see this kid on the field. Supposed to excel playing the slot, so with him, Chido, and Scandrick all able to play multiple positions-- we can really match up well-- in theory.

Of course "in theory" communism works, so I guess we'll just have to see how the young pups do out there

Our defense and secondary is bad according to Denver articles from their side. Their average qb will eat up our porous secondary.
