    Calm down about Griffin to corner

    A lot of posts seem to be critical and very upset about moving Griffin to corner. Cortland Finnegan made the transition last season and looked great at corner against the eagles in his one start. I’d love to see Finnegan and Griffin both at corner because of their physical cover skills, their hitting and tackling.
    The defensive backfield I’d like to see
    Finnegan at RCB
    Griffin at LCB
    Fuller at NB
    Lowry at FS
    Hope at SS

    We just wasted a lot of money on Harper in your defensive backfield

    I think it's clear that the coaches want to make Finnegan into a specialist Nickel. He plays that spot really well and I can understand their reluctance to move him.

    I will say this. If we leave Harper on the same side of the field as Lamont then fans will be calling for his head early. To come from the cover 2 he played at Indy and have Lamont Thompson over the top of you now is a disaster waiting to happen.

    Yep

    I think a 34 year old cover 2 corner is a waste of money.

    If Pacs lawyers can work some magic on Friday we wont have to worry about Griffin at CB very long

    I am not worried about Griffin getting some reps at corner, I am more concerned about LT at safety.

    Defensive backfield.

    I don't know what kind of magic you're expecting. In my mind, the absolute best we can hope for is Pac's suspension to be reduced to 10 games.

    Getting back to the topic at hand, I'd like to see Finnegan at least get the chance to compete for a starting CB spot. He's great as a nickel, but I want every player to know that he has the chance to be "the guy" if he works hard and produces on the field.

    I also want to see Griffin get at least some time at S. He will have to transition back there at some point, so I don't want him to get too used to being a CB.

    I can't wait for Pac to come back our Secondary will be top 10.

    CB#1- Pacman Jones
    CB#2- Nick Harper
    NB- Cortland Finnegan
    FS- Michael Griffin
    SS- Chris Hope

    If Harper struggles or when he leaves due to age Cortland will be our #2 CB with Ryan Smith taking over the Nickelback repsonsibility.

    Either way looks good

    CB- Pac
    CB- Finn
    NB- Smith
    FS- Griff
    SS- Hope
