According to Wade P., Newman's playing the RCB spot because of his knee and for continuity purposes for Reeves.joseephuss;1685958 said:I guess Reeves playing well is an indicator as to why Dallas did not draft a CB in the 4th round and could use that pick to draft a project.
I think they left and are leaving Reeves at RCB for some continuity. He is doing better each week, so they want him to stay in that spot while Henry is hurt. Moving him to Henry's side may hinder his progress. Plus when Henry does come back from his injury and Newman takes back over his starting spot, Reeve's duties will be to come in during the nickel package and man the LCB spot while Newman slides to the slot.
I don't think Newman is on the right side now to protect his injury. Newman is just adept at playing different areas of the field because he often is in the slot.
Reeves does deserve props and so does Nate Jones. They are stepping up their games and hopefully will continue to do so.
Gotta say, it is nice to have some young solid depth with Reeves and Jones. May not be able to keep both, but it's cool to know they've worked themselves into the rotation.
