Re: Our CB's
Our Patricks suck. I believe that they have to go now.......cut bait and run like hell. I like White well enough I guess.......he's young and needs coaching. Greer is still looking good to me. He had that groin pull last year and looked good before and then slowly got better as the season went on. We don't have the ammunition at CB to be successful in my opinion.

He does have good skills at the LOS when it comes to getting his hands on the receivers and bumping them, and he seems to have above average skills when it comes to positioning himself on the field. Those characteristics to me are much better suited for a zone CB than man coverage, but I'd like to hear your perspective on the matter. |

That being said, I believe we'll be employing a man coverage next season and we're stuck with JP, so here's to hoping he can be coached up and contribute for our D

OK. BTW, I didn't mean anything negative with my question, I was merely curious as to what you perhaps saw in JP that made you think he was a better fit for man coverage. ![]() |

Re: Our CB's
Not necessarily all the time; Ryan runs a lot of zone 4-6 in short yardage situations...
After reading up on what he likes to do; he's just like G.W. using both 4-3/3-4... Pretty much exactly like G.W, without all the bounty stuff... |

Re: Our CB's
None of our CB's had true over the top help until late in the season( enter Quaddus and Bush).
