I am interested in seeing Merriweather get more reps at FS on Thursday, the kid can really lay the lumber and Safety looks to me his more natural position.
Ps. For the record, despite anything I may have said in the past I pick August 27 as the day Samuel reports to camp.
what can I say..it's been a slow monday!
Looking forward to the BB presser today...
Meriweather's sure tacking really stood out last week. With Samuel, Hobbs and Gay at CB I imagine Meriweather will get more time at Safety now although we're kind of stacked there for this year with Harrison, Wilson, Sanders and Meriweather - not complaining about that depth, of course.I am interested in seeing Merriweather get more reps at FS on Thursday, the kid can really lay the lumber and Safety looks to me his more natural position.

Agreed with what you say across the board. I don't expect Geno back unless he takes a deal very friendly to the team. We know we can't count on him being healthy and I have a feeling Meriweather will be better than him soon as Wilson's instincts as a Safety have always been questionable to me having been a CB through college.Wilson is apparently hurt a little bit. The depth falls off pretty quickly at FS, Merriweather is the long-term answer and personally I think he could even take reps in game 1 and be ok.

Really? I don't think so at all. What do you mean?
I think he will be on the field for the first defensive snap - but regardless of that technicality, I would bet a LOT of money that barring injury he's either #1 or #2 in snaps on the field among CB for game one. He's supposedly in fine shape, knows the defense and has almost two weeks until game one.I don't think he starts the season opener though.
Best case for me is that Harrison and Meriweather start on opening day, Meriweather plays well enough to keep the job and Geno's injury is minor enough that he's ready to play as/if needed. Meriweather may not have the size to hit like Rodney but given that Force = Mass * Acceleration, I think his Acceleration into the receiver can equal what Rodney's does - he'll never quite get there with the Mass piece thoughFor those re-arranging your depth charts, keep in mind that Wilson apparently got hurt against Carolina (read that he came up lame on Colbert's long TD reception and didn't see action again after the extra point).
Who knows if his injury is serious or not, but it could be a factor.
