Third down pass defense:
Mike Wright - Vince Wilfork - Eric Moore
Jermaine Cunningham - Jerod Mayo - Cliff Avril
Devin McCourty - Arrington/Butler/Wilhite - Leigh Bodden
Patrick Chung - James Sanders
That pass defense might not be bad.
Wright, Wilfork, and Moore can each generate pressure up front.
Cunningham can attack. Mayo can drop into a zone. Avril is versatile enough to rush or drop. Moore is a versatile end/linebacker who could shift the formation from 3-3-5 to 2-4-5.
The slot/star corner is sort of up for grabs. Dowling is not a great fit for it, but Arrington, Butler, and Wilhite are typical slot corner types. Dowling has always played outside - as has Bodden.
While Sanders is far less athletic than Meriweather, he is seldom out of position and does a better job of setting the secondary. Sanders can double a receiver, while Chung plays center field.
