The guy can definitely tackle. He just needs to take better angles sometimes!
I do think we will see more of Moore and less of Edelman next game, though.
TONS of questions in regards to the playoff version of the secondary...
--Was the McCourty to safety move permanent? At least for the rest of the 2011 season?
--Will we see McCourty in a base role as a CB, then switching to a safety in subpackages?
--Will Edelman play the nickle slot? Will he be a dime CB? When he entered in the 4th series, I believe he played a straight 41 snaps. That's a long way from his previous season high of 19.
--How much of Ihedigbo will we see? He didn't seem to play too much on Sunday at all.
--Will Antwaan Molden continue at outside/straight CB?
--How much of Sterling Moore will we see? I have a feeling that many (like myself) want to see a continuation of the Moore experiment, yet I'm not sold that Belichick feels the same as we do. I think he'll be rotated at times, but I just have a feeling that we won't see as much as we'd like.
--If Moore plays CB, does Arrington continue at nickle with Molden on the other side? Back to the Edelman question...
--Nate Jones? Where does he fit in? Dime CB?
--Chances of 3 safety big nickle packages???
It seems like we know absolutely nothing about the playoff future of the secondary, besides the concrete position of Patrick Chung.
We also know that McCourty and Arrington will play, we just don't know specifically where, although I'd think that both will be straight CB's in the base package; we can also assume that the above mentioned will certainly be rotated in/out of subpackage roles...but there are still a TON of questions.
Does Belichick even know? Is he attempting to disguise our secondary to possibly make it more difficult on the tape and gameplanning?
My guess is we see several groupings of different nickle and dime personnel, based on what is working, therefore leaving many questions unanswered up until the divisional round game on the 14th., and even then I'd expect the unanswered questions to continue all throughout the game.
