Too early to tell... waiting to see if McCourty is back on track.

McCourty has played well the last few games. The fact we haven't heard from him is a good thing. Bryant is injury prone and up and down. One game is a stud and the next not so much.

McCourty is not a good man to man CB, but a damn good zone coverage one. He has locked down his side of the field the last few games.

It'd be interesting to see them matched up together. But I'll take McCourty.

Bryant is an extremely explosive player with a ton of potential, but he still hasn't come close to harnessing it all and becoming a consistent player. His behaviour off the field also concerns me.

If Taylor Price develops, then this is a no brainer.

If McCourty returns to form gotta go with him. Good receivers are easier to come by than pro bowl corners. Dez is a beast though.

what are the chances Dez would NOT have been able to pick up our system?

High.


And he really wanted to be a Cowboy.

Does make you wonder why the Bronco's picked Thomas before him. That ain't working out too well for them. And its a much fairer player comparison.

We saw positive things in the D yesterday and if it is to improve Devin is one of the key players that will help turn it around.
