I mean are we really thin back there. ..........I know Samuel will be 1 corner, and Harrison and Sanders at Safety.......Will Chad scott be our other corner with Poteat and Hawkins as our only reserves????If someone else should get injured we are really hurting. This is like last year, we had to play back ups who weren't 100% last year because of injuries and it just led to more injuries. One thing is clear is that we can't go into another season counting Gay as a contributor, he is very fragile.....Anyway just was trying to figure out what our actual Starting secondary was going to be tomorrow!!

http://www.boston.com/sports/footbal.../reiss_pieces/ - here are some ideas..

honestly i dont think the corners wouldve made a huge diff...our secondary with wilson and hobbs in is 27th or 28th in the league against the pass.
More concern is the O-line, need to run block and pass block better if we need brady and the RB's to be effective.

Poteat is best playing nickel. If Hawkins can go, I'd put him outside and use Chad at FS - otherwise, Chad gets the outside slot. In addition to considering bringing Spann up from the Practice Squad, signing someone like Ray Mickens might be a good option. He played last season with Cleveburgh and would have familiarity with Cincy and maybe some with the defensive scheme from Romeo's system.

You have a good point Box Ray Mickens might be a good option it will be interesting to see what secondary help the team will be going after soon
because this is starting to remind me of last year and we can't afford to send Troy to the secondary right now.

What we know for certain:

CB - Samuel
SS - Harrison

What we don't know:

CB - ?
FS - ?

Who's Available:

Chad Scott
Artrell Hawkins
James Sanders
(Willie Andrews)
(Don Davis)
(Troy Brown)

Most likely scenario:

CB - Samuel
CB - C. Scott
FS - Hawkins
SS - Harrison

NB - Poteat
DB - Sanders

Heh Mike, don't forget Alexander is a former SS and Vrabel has played back as a SS to mess up Rothlesberger - not that Palmer is that goofy.

Edit: How did we forget - BAM!!!!

Well I guess if we add Bam, who is on the practice squad, we'd have to add Antwain Spann too.

But I doubt we see a roster move tomorrow.

I can't see Vrabel playing SS at this stage, and I don't see Alexander defense-ready just yet (stick to special teams).

Although we'll never know what BB has up his sleeve.

But "we" don't have to be right, it's interesting tossing out the various options with some connection to past secondary play.

who knows ..troy brown may play in the secondary tommorow and willie andrews moves to receiver and we discover an unknown potential in the passing game

Patjew

Put Brady in at CB. He obviosuly can't play QB anymore.
