In my opinion, Arrington is not that great of a CB. When he gets beat, he stays beat and never looks back for the ball - McCourty had the same problem when playing man coverage. Arrington does play very well in front of him, does very well blitzing and has good instincts for where the ball is going. As I recall, most of his Ints were when the play w as in front of him. Thus, much like McCourty in this era of DB play, I think Arrington would be much better off playing SS. Not that I disagree with others that we don't need to play a SS all the time, but in those match-ups where it is appropriate, I think he would do a better job than Gregory or either Wilson. I definitely think Dennard can do as well as, if not better, job as the slot CB.
I would love to see the flexibility of having where the match-up receiver lined up, dictate who played the slot. And I can see dime packages where there are 4 CBs or 2 SS/1FS depending on the team and their match-ups.
