Re: Who Will Get The Reps At Safety?

I am not convinced that Ebner will start or even get major reps. I would start Moore.
IMHO, McCourty and Dennard are our best corners. It is not a time to move McCourty to safety (but then, there never was such a right time). Dowling going to IR should end discussions of moving McCourty. Besides, McCourty is playing reasonably well, certainly well enough for opponents to avoid him much of the time to concentrate on Arrington (and his 158 rating for opposing quarterbacks).

I agree McCourty is by far our best corner, but with both starters out, I think playing him at safety again this week makes sense.
Cole and Moore were both ahead of Dowling at times, so its not like we are missing a key piece.
I think its Dennard and Arrington starting, with Moore and Cole coming in on nickel and dime.
Once the safeties are healthy, McCourty goes back to corner, Arrington competes with the other corners for nickel and dime snaps. Wilson, Chung, Gregory are the safety rotation. |
