Decison Time: Von vs Prince at 7

If Miller is available......dont think he will be but my vote's for " Miller Time".
Prince. Purely for the name.

Oh HELLLZ YEAH!!!

Patrick P. all the way baby!!!!

I know Miller was on fire during Senior Bowl, but I watched a lot of SEC games and he just didn't seem dominating on big games that I watched. Patrick Peterson on the other hand could help on special teams awesome KR/PR and is a potential #1 CB for us.

#1 priority definitely HAS TO BE Patrick Peterson, no second guessing.
Give me the pass rush. What good is a secondary if we're killing the quarterback before he's even had a chance to look downfield.

+1

A lot of our secondary's problems are caused by giving QB's WAY too much time with the ball.

It'd be nice to have a guy who actually makes the QB have to think about where he's throwing the ball though. So I'm a bit stuck on this one. Also I wonder how peterson and prince will compare in the combine, prince does have the extra year advantage but it sounds like peterson's the better athlete.

I'm not sure but could our lack of a pass rush partially be a coaching fault? Guys being asked to watch the rush more than really attack the qb? Seemed like we rarely have a full on blitz.

Very tough call on this one. It depends what we do in free agency (assuming there is one). If we get a nice OLB (Woodley is gonna cost an arm, or Wimbley) then we go for the best CB at #7. Vice versa if we land a top CB in free agency...Although the Quinn/Peterson dilemma is the one I hope we have..realistically one of them will do.
The great corner will make opponets throw to the other side of the field, and the D can rotate coverage to that side making it even more difficult for the offense. The great corner will help the pass rush by keeping coverage longer giving the pass rush more time to sack the QB.

The great pass rusher can be doubled, rolled away from, or schemed with draws/screens and influence run type run blocking schemes.

For me, that is why I would take the great CB any day over the great pass rusher. To each his own
Von Miller for me

Spencer and Clements are better at their positions than Lawson and Haralson are at theirs.

I agree with this.


And to a lot of the people who say the pass rush will in turn improve the secondary. We haven't had a pass rush since BY!!!!
