Hawkins has done a very good job at FS for the past 2 games. After the bye Gino will probably be back.

So, what should the Patriots do? Gino gets his starting job back? Keep Hawk in there? Move Gino to CB? What about Hobbs?

It's a very good and interesting problem to ponder.

Geno has been a piece of crap lately.

Why? I don't know.

What to do? I dont know.

But I trust BB to make the right call.

I think Gino should be moved to CB and Hawkins should stay at FS.

As much as people complain about Geno's problems, it's not that he is getting burned in coverage. I think Geno is good enough in coverage to be a CB while Hawkins is better as the last line of defense which is what a safety is.

This doesn't mean that Geno should be never used at safety. The ability of the Pats to mix it up like that is part of what makes the defense so good.

My guess is that the Patriots will find plenty of opportunities for three safeties (Harrison, Wilson, Hawkins) to contribute over the course of the season.

Move Gino to corner, slot at first slowly transitioning to starter, and play more zone coverage.

Gino is having the same problem that Troy polamalu is having, and what bob sanders will eventually have. eugene has never really wrapped up when he makes a tackle. his first two years hes played like a human torpedo, throwing his body at his target and not wrapping up. guys a are now bouncing off of him because of his inability to wrap up and picking up extra yds. hawkins makes the fundamental tackles you look for,but eugene makes the ints you want also.

Keep the Hawk at safety and spell Geno and Hobbs at CB as one is bound to get hurt sooner or later.

the twiggy avatar serves as a message that we can win without him, every time we win a game and I post here I laugh at that avatar knowing that the twig ran away to the living hell that most former pats mistake for greener pastures. at one point the avatar was a sign of my support now its just the target on my dartboard "figuratively speaking"

I think that we will see Hawkins as the starting FS and Wilson lining up at corner.

In all honestly, I think Samuel would make a great free safety.
