If anything, I think that having Champ Bailey back will help Steve Smith. When a player has a supposed "shutdown corner", they tend to try to go one on one with Smitty. That's when he does his damage.

It may slow down our running game though, since they will most likely stack eight in the box.

To play devil's advocate, didn't Nnamdi Asomugha go one-on-one with Smith most of the Oakland game?

Asomugha is what Champ Bailey was 5 years ago.... he is the current SHUT DOWN corner in the league
bailey ins't the CB that is to be feared anymore. asomugha is much better than bailey.

imo.....champ bailey = rhonde barber. used to be awesome. now gonna get abused.

just cause champ is back doesn't mean he is healthy, either. he hsa been hurt a lot this year and it isn't likely that he is going to be anywher close to 100% which, even at that, is nowhere near where he used to be. go look at his stats and see how often QBs throw at the man he is covering. they aren't afraid to throw in his direction....not like they are asomugha.

Champ Bailey is still studly. If I remember rightly from the Denver games I've seen though, they tend to follow our system of keeping Bailey on one side (the same side as Gamble - which is the strong side I think). As we move Smith about a lot I'm sure he'll find some favourable matchups.

agreed, he always manages to get some good match ups on his side.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
