Saw this while scouring youtube. BTW: this is the second link I've run into from NFL World. I'm not sure who they are but seems like a decent youtube channel.

I'm still trying to understand how Ebner hasn't been able to put it together as a safety.

Perhaps, it's because his special teams duties are similar to the open-field play of rugby and that it is more natural for him to excel there than in coverage.

It seems clear that J Jones is the 7th DB, with a rooster spot locked up because of his ST play ( in some sense similar to Ebner). Absent injury, we don't have 7 DB's on the field much. Coleman is the #7 if he makes the team.

I guess C Jones and Richards are OK for being the #9th and #10 DB's.

-- Eric Rowe got the majority of reps as the third corner. At times the Patriots sub package featured three corners – Rowe, Butler and Stephon Gilmore – as well as three safeties with Devin McCourty, Patrick Chung and Harmon. Jonathan Jones continues to make plays on the defensive side–although he dropped a ball on a kick-off return.

At one point while watching that YouTube clip I noticed a credit at the bottom of the frame saying something about "NFL Network" so I'd figure that's who they are. Have no other evidence but that seems pretty safe, since YouTube is very diligent about taking down unauthorized posts of copyrighted material.

EDIT: noticed additional evidence on rewatching. Check the logo on their mikes. NFLN.
