To be fair, I wouldn't go there yet, BTM.
If Dowling is significantly injured another yr, then we can start to make that assumption.
Sometimes sh!t happens, and that may have been the case with Dowling this yr.
The guy has not played a full season since high school.
The guy has not played a full season since high school, and suddenly he is going to be iron man? Look we can start the Ras-I to IR countdown clock now, my bet is that he doesn't make it out of training camp. Counting on him would be a mistake.
BTW did anyone else see Ras-IO's brother from another mother, Shawn Crable on the NFL Network during their coverage of the "regional scouting combine" at the Jets place? I'm pretty sure he pulled a hammy running the 40.
Don't act like you would be punishing me. I'm just saying making a post saying you are giving up a guy because he got injured in his rookie year seems like a waste of webspace.I just won't post then...
Preferably I'd also love to see us land a guy like Goldson and keep DMC-Dowling-Arrington at CB with Moore providing depth at both positions. Another option I could see if Dowling-Arrington-Moore CB tandem with McCourty moving to FS.
You have to think that Goldson's agent is going to take a really good year by Goldson and turn that into a ton of money. I can't see BB landing Goldson, but anything is possible.
Goldson is going to get tagged per the mediots.
I'm waiting to see what Pats have in Jeff Tarpanian and Markel Carter. Maybe Carter can contribute this year. Pats are getting younger and the kids have to step up their game if they want to stick on the roster.
This year will be like a rookie TC for Cannon and a semi-rookie TC for last years draftees. Want to see what Vereen has as well :rocker:
Ridley is gonna have a breakout year..just a feeling

Never claimed he was going to be "an iron man," not quite sure where you think I came anywhere close to saying that.
I said that you can't write a guy off because of one yr, and that sometimes sh!t happens. My theory was to wait another yr before becoming pessimistic. You seem to have your own theory and that's fine too, I respect your opinion.
Considering that he was a day one starter as a rookie, and he looked pretty good at times as a bigger, physical CB, I myself will give him another yr.
I would agree with your post if it wasnt for this one sentence. I just cant get behind this guy. :confused2:
I know he was a safety in high school, and the fact that he brought that up at all tells me that he didn't in college.Anyone know if he got any safety reps @ Virginia?
I would love to have McCourty and Dowling switch roles. Have Dowling as the RCB and in nickel have him move to FS(6'1 200) That way we can utilize Sterling Moore as well on 3rd with him as your NB. I just think Dowling's Frame and athleticism lend very well to him taking on that role part time if we don't go safety in FA.
