Secondary

[sharkkiller]

So with the performance of the "patchwork" secondary against the Giants.......when the "starters" come back from injury, do we change it back? Or stay with the same lineup as last week?

 

This could be an interesting topic come next week.

 

I vote stay with the rookies.FWIW

All depends on practice performances I would think. If the veterans do get to starting again at least we know we have some solid depth back there and young guys that can improve and can step up.

Speaking of coming back from injuries, what is the status on Mikell and Thomas and Norman? Should they all be playing against Arizona?

[Captain Morgan]

well if we're going to drop 7 in coverage, I'm not sure it matters.

[Dex]

As long as our front 4 keeps dominating we could drop 7 Kurbs into coverage and still get it done.

[Dex]

And by get it done I mean only lose by 40.

i'd like to see melvin still get a shot.

 

mikell will start over lester but it is good that we got some young, unproven guys experience and they stepped up majorily.

[SevenSixes]

I think you work the young guys in and give your banged up starter 10+ plays off or so a game. It would go a long way to keeping them healthy down the stretch, not to mention it gives Lester and Melvin solid experience.

 

And while I'm at it, why can we have all 52 on the roster active for game day? We're paying them, they should be available for the game. The owners need to change that rule like ASAP, it's stupid that they all can't dress out for the game.

I agree. I think Mickel will start over Lester, but I think that White should get that start. Move Captain back to nickel and see what Mr. White can do.

 

 

 

This should be a good secondary when we can drop 7 in coverage and get multiple sacks rushing 4.

Mikell needs to be on the field....other than that I don't have an issue who plays in the secondary.

Anyone but Norman

Funny how the opinion on Norman has changed around here.   :)   I remember the Ron Rivera is stupid for not starting him post.  Along with the he is the "best cornerback in the NFCS".  

 

That being said, I hope he doesn't see the field as well.  He looks broken mentally from the abuse last year and this year.   We have all seen it happen before.... I think his name was Jake Delhomme.  

[Mother Grabber]

maybe we should put Fua in at SS.

[carolina-chuck]

I love Lester but I would have Mikell there at SS and leave Mitchell where he's at (FS). I'd keep the corners as it is. I can't stand watching Thomas trying to cover anyone.

It seems to me that Norman doesn't have his head into the game,film room, and listening to what he is instructed to do. Way to many mental lapses to see the field as a starter since he blows to many assignments. White is Hungary and seems to have some natural talent that can't be taught,also his ego appears to be in check which helps.
