If chevss over at PP is to be believed, they intend to keep McCourty at CB initially.

He also says the Pats are really happy with the Talib acquisition. Their plan is to use Talib and McCourty at CB if/when Chung and Gregory get healthy so long as Chung pledges to do his job and quits guessing/gambling with a fall back plan of McCourty at S with Talib and Dennard at CB. Wilson and Arrington for depth and nickel/dime.
He thinks the coaching of the DBs is fine and not the problem. Chung's regression is a hot topic as BB was counting on him this year and the feeling is Chung is trying too hard to make plays rather than just doing his job. His leash is short and he knows it.
On Talib, he spoke with Todd France of Fame who is Talib's agent. France told him the Pats did extensive background study and spoke to Talib with Tampa Bay's permission prior to the trade. France also told him that Talib is really excited about playing for the Pats and welcomes the chance to start fresh.
