I think it helps greatly...play some press man for Christ sake and let the lbs get after the qb. Three/four man rush, fitz tore us up like a twenty two year old at a prom party. Send a few extra and he looked uncomfortable and we did cause some mistakes.

Talib means McCourty stays at safety, with dennard (push out in back of endzone anybody?) opposite, playing more man schemes with our beast lbs free to wreak havoc. I turned the game on late, just as woodhead scored to go up 17-3. Not sure if I missed something to discourage my thoughts at this point...

I'm happy with the job 32 is doing at S, but I would like to see Talib at one corner spot and devin the other manning up against wrs with 37 at the slot. Have a 3 man rotation at S and lets ride with it.

Who made the pick? Put him at cb and he keeps his back turned and gets flagged for pi...

I am not. McCourty at S brings inexperience to the run D as was seen today when he over persued and allowed spiller to cut back and gain big yards.
Chung wouldn't have let that happen. McCourty does bring cover abiliity
to deep S role but I would rather see our two starting safeties back and
McCourty and Talib at corner. ( with Talib on the best WR )

Arrington.. no question. At least Dennard is close to his guy.. when the other teams WR is alone on the tv screen catching a ball you automatically know it was Arrington covering him.. or at least doing his impression of covering him.

I'm sure Talib can cover both WRs. And the TEs. And the RB. All at once.

They shut down Sam Bradford and the Rams pretty well a couple of weeks ago.

Based on yesterday's available personnel and how McCourty played at Safety, I think it's fair to say he will be playing there for the remainder of the season, if not permanently.

That would mean a starting Secondary of:

LCB: Alfonzo Dennard
RCB: Aqib Talib
SS: Steve Gregory/Patrick Chung
FS: Devin McCourty

Tavon Wilson hardly played yesterday, which makes me think they've lost confidence in him as a starter, at this point in his development. What will be interesting is when Chung is healthy. Does he replace Gregory in the lineup or play bench?
