I think most of us expected White or Robinson would eventually surpass Greer as the CB2, given their ages. Before he went down, Greer probably had a slight overall edge over White because of experience, but what White lacks in experience, he makes up it for with size and physicality. Big CBs who can play press coverage aren't very common, so having White AND Lewis is actually a big advantage. White has already shown several flashes where he made a few really great jumps on the ball where he could get a hand on the ball because of his length. He probably could've tipped the final pass against NE that Greer barely missed.

I wouldn't have been surprised to see White as the starter in one of the next two years anyway. Throwing him in the fire now will jump start his development, but of course there are mistakes he's going to make along the way. He could make some big plays for us and could also blow a few for us. Let's just hope he comes up with more than he misses when it matters the most. I'm excited to see what type of player he is a few years from now.

I can see both sides of this argument. Yes, he got picked on in the first half of the Atlanta game by a receiver no one has ever heard of. And yes, he played great press coverage in the second half.

Do I think we would be better with Greer AND White? Absolutely. Do I think losing Greer will ruin the secondary? Probably not. Are we thin at CB? Yes. Do I think Rob Ryan will find a way to work around the injuries and lack of "big name" players? Yes, because he's been doing it all year.

And to whoever told the OP that he posted in the wrong spot...gimme a break. I see multiple posts on the same topics time and time again. And if you want to get technical about the rules, I think I recall reading a rule saying not to pick on the rookies!
