Since he's not starting at safety why not try him at cb where he has less of a chance to freelance. Cant benmuch worse then
Arrington.
He's can't even keep his job at safety, what makes you think he play conerback ? Which takes more coverage skills. He's basically the Maroney of the defensive backs.

... when Meriweather first arrived in New England he was tried at cornerback and it wasn't a fit. I think his best position is safety. If he's not back there, I think it has to be James Sanders because of his ability to get everyone lined up, which is an underrated and often overlooked aspect of the job description.
Polamalu: 5'10" 207
Meriweather: 5'11" 200
Reed: 5'11" 200
Clearly, Meriweather lacks the size to be a safety in the NFL.

Meriweather is the Maroney of the DBs, I think so. We overrate him seriously . For example Chung has showed more commitment in 3 games that Brandon in 4 years in leadership and attitude .
This logic is backwards. Corners who have freelancing problems get moved to safety (a la Antrel Rolle) because that way they don't have to be as disciplined in coverage. If Meriweather were moved to corner what would happen is his free lancing problems would get exposed way more than they already do and the offense would have an easy time picking on him in coverage.Since he's not starting at safety why not try him at cb where he has less of a chance to freelance.
You're a pretty refreshing poster.This logic is backwards.

What some are forgetting is that Meriweather is transiting back to free safety (albeit it's his natural position) while he's had to play strong safety for most of his career in the NFL, that's not something that's gonna happen overnight. Before it was James Sanders/Brandon McGowan job to prevent the big play, provide over the top help, sometimes pick up the tight end in coverage, etc., now it's his job. There's gonna be plenty of bad moments in the short term (for instance Dustin Keller being wide open repeatedly a week ago), but once Meriweather gets comfortable at FS again it'll be by far their best safety duo since Wilson and Harrison.
