We had 5 CB's on our roster last year.
J Greer P Robinson T Porter J Patrick L Torrence We only lost Porter and Torrence. Patrick should step up and replace Porter effectively White becomes J Patrick of last year so that leaves Leigh Torrence who is basically a journeyman CB / special teams player easily replaced. We aren't nearly as thin as people think. |

I am looking forward to Gumbs making it. If for nothing else, the name alone has great potential!

Corner is a tough spot.
The key is to position a guy to do what he is already good at. Some guys press&cover well, some zone-close well, some (very few) can do it all. Spags has to evaluate each guys strengths and then play to our strengths. We definitely shouldn't leave a guy who's shoe strings are tied together with no help over the top. My sincere hope is that our DBs don't have to give as much run support as they have been called to give in the past. Banging with bruisers has got to take something away from your coverage reserves, especially late into the game. |
