“I really don’t care about my body. I just try to go out and make plays,” said the solidly built 5-foot-11, 210-pound McGowan, who calls his style of play “reckless.”
I'm embarrassed to say I almost expected him to be cut at the end of training camp. I'm glad they didn't. He's progressed a lot in the last few weeks which is great.
But I was also hoping Chung would have emerged a little more by now. Oh well, it's a complex defense. I'm hoping it's just a matter of time for Chung.
I did too. However he did have a nice year with the Bears in 07 which showed that he could be productive.
I need to back-pedal a little on Sanders. Looks like he played as much as McGowan (30+ snaps). Not sure if its accurate that he has taken Sanders' spot as the starting safety.
Well, on BMx2's forced fumble, Sanders recovered, so they're definitely playing in there together at times, anyway.

Chung will get time in the playoffs when the obligatory broken arm of a safety occurs.
Great news. Sanders is finally where he belongs: a special teams ace and backup Safety. McGowan's only 26 so if Chung doesn't step up, McGowan could lockup that position for the forseeable future. It's interesting to note that it took only 1 game before he took Sander's starting position and it took him only one game to make an impact play, whereas we've been waiting forever for Sanders to make any type of impact play.

Great analysis...

He's taking someone's snaps, but it doesn't seem to be Sanders'

They're playing big nickel. Regardless, let's just keep living in fantasy land where James Sanders makes impact plays.
I guess I missed the part where they didn't extend his contract and where he lost all his playing time...
They extended his contract! Yaayyy! I guess that's a guarantee that he's an impact player irrespective of what we see on Sundays. Pats never make a mistake. Good logic.
