Free Safety Holding us back?

[tunahelper]

Why dont we move Henry to FS and Glenn to RCB?
Use Reeves as your third corner, I think this is a good trade off until Watkins matures. If he does?
Henry played safety for the Browns a little I read; and this is holding our team hostage.

Any thoughts?

henry makes too much to play FS thats not effecient use of the cap and frankly glenn would be a liability if he played that much.

Let's just put Watkins back in the mix......

I think you're going to see him back there pretty soon.

I do too. The point has been made. He is our most natural FS.

Henry isn't a safety and it takes time to learn the safety position. Marcus Coleman didn't just move to safety, he had to learn the safety spot. As a safety you are playing completely different schemes than a CB would play. As a safety you have a lot more responsibility for the QB and the run not just a zone/receiver. As a CB you primary focus is your zone/receiver.

Parcells already said he is looking to put Watkins back, he just didn't know exactly when he would do it.

News to me, but not the surprising kind.

He said something to that nature in his press conference. Here is the quote.

We're just struggling a little bit at the FS spot. Keith is agressive so you never worry about that. Marcus didn't play to well yesterday. He got fooled on the TD. Those kind of things show up and hurt us. There's a chance we will take another look at Watkins but I don't know when.

How much are the big plays on defense a direct result of a poor pass rush?

Remember Shante Carver, and our dreams of having him put some real pressure on the QB? Remember Ekuban...

I'm gonna get the scoop from the man himself.

...

I'd say almost all of them are the result of no pass rush...the one exception might be the blown coverage on LJ Smith in the Eagles games, otherwise probably all the others were the result of QB's just standing back there and waiting

Yeah, Glenn is not nearly as dominant of a player. He'd get picked on a lot..

Henry played safety his first year in Cleveland and had 10 INTs

Wow, learn something new everyday! ***** play safety! Actually, Henry is our second best CB. As much as people whiny about wanting someone else to play safety, the last thing you want to do is make one of your better CBs play safety...
