We needed to solve the problem at strong safety.
BROWNER AS A STRONG SAFETY
----------------------------------
This is the direct approach.
CORNERS - Ryan and Dennard would compete for starter and dime back. Arrington would stay in the slot where he is one of the best. We would have a JAG as the 5th corner.
SAFETIES - McCourty and Browner would be an awesome combination. We'd have Harmon as the #3. Tavon Wilson would again fight for his position as #4 safety with a vet and/or a youngster.
CONCLUSION
This would be one of the best patriots secondaries ever.
BROWNER AS A CORNER
--------------------------
CORNERS - Our starters would be one of the very best in the league. Arrington is one of the best in the slot. Ryan and Dennard would be competing for the dime spot. This seems a waste of talent. It would seem that one might also get some reps at safety.
SAFETY - All safeties would play better having top corners. Harmon would be a starter unless Dennard or Ryan moves over and can beat him out for a job. Also, a free agent could beat him out. Unless a corner moves over, it would seem that we should be signing a veteran strong safety (to compete with the Wilson's).
CONCLUSION
The safety play would improve because of the awesomeness of the corners. If the strong safety situation were solved, this would be the best secondary the patriots have had since we started only first rounders.
YES I UNDERSTAND
that there could be injuries in camp. But for now, we have one two many corner capable of starting.
