Default Play Coach - what to do with McCourty?

If you were coach,what would you do with McCourty now that Chung and Gregory look to be healthy again?

Wait until Chung gets hurt again which is any day now.

Talib
Dennard
Cole

as the top 3 corners

McCourty on the field for all defensive snaps at safety then a rotation of Wilson, Gregory & Chung depending on opposition/down etc at the other safety spot.

I'd be tempted to play him at CB tomorrow because Arrington is the biggest weak link in the team now.

Keep working him in as a safety when needed but otherwise. Pair him with Talib at CB. If Wilson , Chung, and Gregory can get it together at safety then McCourty and Talib give them their best pair of CB's.

I'd move him to safety full time, starting next week. This week, I'd have watched practice to see how well Arrington was playing.

S - McCourty
S - Gregory/Wilson
CB - Arrington
CB - Dennard

or

S - Wilson
S - Gregory
CB - McCourty
CB - Dennard

Depending upon the quality of Arrington's play. Chung would be coming off the bench in either case. He'd need to play his way back in by showing something in "big nickel"/dime situations.

Default Re: Play Coach - what to do with McCourty?

For this game I would keep McCourty at CB so he keeps Arrington on the bench with Dennard on the other side. After that when Talib comes back it all depends on the development of Dennard. If Dennard begins to truly play like a starting CB, plays well and all, McCourty can move back to safety. But if he struggles, McCourty needs to stay at CB. We do still have Chung/Gregory/Wilson available at safety, so we can still pick the best 2 of those three.

McCourty is a bit better at safety, but he also plays well at CB. It all depends on where he's needed more.
