Schefter thinks Meriweather moves to CB next season
Good video overall about losses and how we can come back from them
Thoughts? I mean i wouldnt be thrilled with the idea. |
Re: Schefter thinks Meriweather moves to CB next season
I'm not thrilled, but what else are you going to do at this point?
At least it keeps your best players on the field. And i think he could do a decent job. Suddenly not much depth at safety. I still want an OLB with the first rounder. If they have a poor pass rush next season you could have Deion Sanders and you'd be in trouble. |
Re: Schefter thinks Meriweather moves to CB next season
The key phrase here would be Shefter thinks... He's a mediot, not a football expert, and he has as few sources in Foxboro as anyone.

Re: Schefter thinks Meriweather moves to CB next season
I'd be shocked...

Re: Schefter thinks Meriweather moves to CB next season
Dumb. If he had the ability to play corner, that's what he would have played. Slow or old corners become safeties not the other way around.
There was a very telling interview early or pre season where he expressed tremendous relief at being able to play safety again. He doesn't like it and he's not good at it. They will cross train him, but he his a safety, period. |
Re: Schefter thinks Meriweather moves to CB next season
I don't think they'll do that. Along those lines - at their pro days, Meriweather pretty much matched Hobbs on his 10, 20, 40 runs but was a good bit off on the Shuttle, 3 Cone and Jumps. He's not really a CB quality athlete.

Re: Schefter thinks Meriweather moves to CB next season
I've seen corners become safeties and linebackers become safeties, but I can't recall a safety becoming a corner except maybe as an emergency injury replacement.
Then again, this is a team that turned a wide receiver into a defensive back . . . |
Re: Schefter thinks Meriweather moves to CB next season
im not thrilled bout it either...
he made great strides end of season at safety...it would almost be like evaporating his progress if he gets moved to CB now... also, i dont think we can have rodney be playing SS full time either, his skills are dimnishing, as much as i love the guy.... therefore keep sanders and meriwhether at safety, with rodney subing in but if meriweather did go to cb, it would be gay's position, nickelback, coverin the 3rd WR.... and we would either use law or rookie at asante's spot |

Yeah, I mean it worked so well with Tebucky Jones.
Or maybe he can play both positions, at the same time. Then we don't even need 11 defenders. |
