Some combo of these 4 to be the 'starters'. Edelman nickel back. Ihedigbo the 3rd safety. Hopefully very little of Molden/Brown I can just picture some QB lofting up a crappy pass and one of them bailing them out with a horrible penalty.

Different ones for different games. The surest fixed points, health permitting, are:

Chung at safety
Arrington somewhere (almost surely CB)
McCourty somewhere

It might work: Chung-McCourty Arrington-Moore


I hope I dont see Sergio or Molden, unless we are in dire straits... I still cringe on the pass-int by Sergio in the end-zone, in those 2 games...

My guess is the "starters" will be McCourty and Arrington at corner, and Chung and Ihedigbo at safety. That said we'll see lots of Edelman in the nickel, Some McCourty at safety, and a good bit of Moore at both corner and safety.

That's the lineup right there. Edelman as the nickel (as I have said in another thread, I think this guy could be a dynamic free safety). Ihedigbo as the backup safety.

Not exactly a star-studded group, but they just have to survive and advance.

Default Re: What is the Pats' playoff secondary?

most of it really depends on what they finally decide to do w/ McCourtey...i liked what i saw, but bruschi didnt as much

if McCourtey plays CB:

safeties: chung with mix moore/ihendigbo

cb: devin and arrigonton, nickel is edelman, and 4th cb is moulden

otherwise

safeties: chung with mccourtey, mix of moore and ihendigbo

cb: moulden and arrignton, nickel edelman, and 4th is other guy, NOT nate jones

That sounds good. I don't recall Moore getting significant time at safety but I could be wrong with the way the door was revolving there. I'm wondering if McCourty might end up being a better free safety than corner.

It's pretty clear that BB doesn't see a set position for pretty much any of the DBs, save for maybe Arrington and Molden who I think have only played corner. I'd like to see the starting four DBs be Arrington, McCourty, Moore, and Chung with a healthy dose of Edelman and Ihedigbo along the way. I'm not a big fan of Jones or Brown, but I absolutely can't stand seeing Molden on the field anymore.
