News: Dallas change for slot cornerback against New England

[CCBoy]

• With all the different personnel groups that the Patriots like to use on offense – I thought there was a strong possibility that we would see Corey White playing a significant role. What I didn’t catch until game time was that White was going to be the slot corner in place of Tyler Patmon. When White signed with the Cowboys, my scouting report on him was that I thought he was a better slot player than he was playing on the outside. The tape showed he did a nice job of handling the different responsibilities he had in the game. There were several snaps where he had to carry Danny Amendola, and he was able to stay with him on those difficult routes where the Patriots like to run receivers across the field underneath. White was also in position to break up a quick screen as well as tip a pass coming off a slot blitz. He was able to give this defense a little something overall that they had not gotten from Patmon.

This is what got Claiborne this New England game:

• If I were an offensive coordinator in this league, my entire offense would be based on pick or rub routes. The amount of times teams run those plays successfully far outweighs the number of times the play is going to come back. The best example of this was the Brady to Edelman touchdown pass where Danny Amendola drove inside, threw his hands up and took Morris Claiborne out of the play. I will say that with what was happening the entire game – Claiborne should have known by the alignment that there was a possibility of a pick and played it better.

Funny how Corey White looked just like he did in PS on Sunday.

Where the hell has he been?!?

I hope we play NE again THIS Year just this time with a offense that can put up 30-40 points on them

This. After watching replay. I hold Claiborne about 75% responsible for pats first TD drive. He's average in this league. Just my opinion.

He still is in year three of learning to react to observed action. New England is a special case study as well as a top level team. Both aspects give hope to improvement here.

I think you could see a shakeup in the secondary.....Church has been awful....Move Wilcox to SS...Start B.Jones @ FS. Patmon is your nickle CB....and White is your dime package safety

This please. Hey Floaty, we should team up and apply for the gm gig.

Could we do any worse?

If we are shaking things up in the secondary, start Jones at CB in place of Carr

Id consider White at FS before Jones. Jones is too valuable at CB, and CB is much more valuable then a FS

Same place Dunbar was for past 3 years.

Same place Dunbar was for past 3 years.

The staff is definitely slow to make changes that seem obvious.

On Gronk's 30 yard reception, White wanted nothing to do with attempting to tackle him. I got a good chuckle out of that.

I thought Byron Jones did a great job against Rob Gronkowski. I was wondering what your thoughts are on his future position with the team -- cover corner, nickelback, free safety?

Bryan: I believe that you will see Byron Jones as the future safety in this defense just because of how difficult it is to find that position. His ability to cover and finish will one day make him a very valuable player.

David: I imagine there are plenty of fans who would like to see Byron inserted at safety over either J.J. Wilcox or Barry Church, but I doubt you’ll see that this season. His success against Gronk is a great example of why. Jones gives the Cowboys a great asset for coping with guys like Gronkowski – not to mention Jimmy Graham, who visits AT&T Stadium in three weeks.
