Thank Goodness We Kept DWill

You're right to a degree. I wouldn't say the RB position is a quick fix, because those are guys that we've had for a while, so it's a bit different than bringing in someone new and hoping that he helps you out and fits into what you're trying to do. But you're right that I think the potential value of proven RBs outweighs the potential value added with proven CBs on this team. And I say that only in terms of team development, and more specifically the development of our young quarterbacks.

I know Captain is small, but with 89 on our team I'm reluctant to say that Captain won't be able to do something just because he's short. That's what people said about Steve Smith. And no, I'm not saying Munnerlyn=Smith.

I am a big Captain fan...

but I will add this, the rules and game are setup to favor a WR over a CB. So while Smitty is a monster regardless and would have found success anyway in his prime....as he ages the rules are still set up for him to have the edge over a corner of comparable talent.

Captain is playing in a very big hole. I like him. But it will be hard for him to be consistent IMO.

Did you guys watch the preseason game? we didn't even have half our starters on d and still got pressure and no cb's were picked on (with eli manning, he scored 3 points XD). We'll be fine, i'd much rather pick a 1st round shut down corner next year then work on oline depth in the draft, we're building up from the draft. Rivera knows what he has, moreso than we do, if he wanted a corner he'd ask hurney, but apparently he wanted wr's so i think he's comfortable with the cb's we have.

I did watch the game, Robert McClain was getting picked on... at one point they went at him 3 or 4 times in a row. he showed tremendous promise, matter of fact I really like his game, but they will attack our CBs.. don't get it twisted..

I am a big Captain fan but he will be picked on in the red zone because of his size. He should be fine in coverage until we get into the red zone. Once teams are in the red zone you will see fades galore at Captain.
