I wonder if EW would be better suited at CB or NB where it doesn't take that much in the way of brains to play.

Wilson has plenty of talent to play either FS (the centerfielder kind) or CB. He originally was a CB but his superior size/speed ratio ( and AS's presence) made BB project him to be a great cover FS with the size to come up and drill a RB. Actually, I think it's time for him to go back to CB and get off ST coverage where he has been hurt a couple of times.

Hawkins was "starting" to get favored by a handful of people who watched the Cotchery TD in the Meadowlands and formed an instant one play assessment. Wilson drew the start over Hawk because he was the better choice at FS. Geno's health is going to be the issue, not his play making ability when healthy and lined up with the Pats' veteran secondary.

Hopefully this offseason Geno decides to work on his conditioning some more and come into camp in the best shape of his career. I think theres a good chance he has a very good season, being a contract year for him and all and looking for that payday.

def, could very well come in and have a huge yr a la asante
i think a lot of ppl forget that ellis was drawing number one wrs at the very beginning of the yr, and a lot in here were calling asante a nickleback, pretty funny

so yeah, geno could pull an asante
lets just hope neither pulls a mark blount (career yr in his contract yr, given long term contract, then decides to absolutely suck-i doubt it though honestly, basketball players are a much more unpredictable bunch, plus they can really decide to dog it, i mean i just dont ever see a Patriot dogging it, unless ur name is doug gabriel)

We'll if I was a betting man.> I would put money that he is starting week 1. But I think that could quickly change, especially if they draft a Safety early..

Wilsons play has gone down hill ever since the last SB.. Maybe the wear and tear of playing physical over the middle is to much for him.
Could he switch back to corner.. Who really knows.. BB might not even know.. But one thing is for sure... The future is else where for our safety spot.. EW is not the answer long term..

I was a proponent of moving Geno to CB (his natural position) with Hobbs and relegating Samuel to Nickel during TC last year. I have a soft spot for Hawk because he actually does this thing called TACKLING! Its amazing what you can acomplish when you wrap your arms around someone rather than just throwing a shoulder at him, hoping to take his legs out.

I still think he would be a better CB than Safety with all things equal (I understand that I am in the minority on this one). But, he is a very effective FS when he his paired with a very good SS, because he essentially becomes a CB that covers the middle of the field. But when he is asked to be effective against the run and cover from the safety spot he is weak.

Or, it might be the Chinese firedrill of personell in the secondary that the Pats have been forced to use due to injury over the last two years. They really haven't been a position to play real aggressive in the secondary.
