No, Nnamdi definitely isn't going to play in the slot as that will be all Rogers OR Brown if they decide to go in that direction.

I think Nnamdi is still better than Rogers and Brown. He had a bad couple years in Philadelphia but even Willis would've liked maybe average on that team. Bad things happen when an OL coach is your defensive coordinator.

The defense was so much better with Castillo last year though. He made one huge mistake taking Nnamdi off of Megatron which cost his job, but I thought he got the raw deal a bit.

Willis will look good anywhere, but Nnamdi looks good. He may very well be better than those two, but times will tell against the top tier WRs/QBs. Week 1 will be very telling but if he performs great, what a steal we just got.

Not true at all on the Brock front. He has performed well in preseason but yesterday was bad game for Cox. Who knows what happens in practice though.

Both had bad penalties and were beaten badly by Wrs after rewatching the game

Cox?

SLOT: Darryl Morris, (Perrish Cox) - Morris had a great knockdown pass in the EZ. Cox had the worst day of any defender yet. He had a P.I. in the EZ for not getting his head turned around. Then our pet-peeve; he is out-jumped/muscled by a taller, more physical WR for a TD plus had a 15-yard face-mask penalty. He also had two other passes caught on him.

When was Brock beaten "badly." The PI call was questionable as it gets, but he had another good game. Brock has been sticking to opposing WRs like glue all preseason long. Unfortunately for him tough, Nnamdi has played like the best CB on the team.

I'm a Nnamdi fan and from day one have stated I hope he gets the NB spot. I was just saying though, Brock hasn't been beaten badly all preseason. He has played very well to the point I'd actually be confident if he was to see the field on certain down. Heck, even if he is the NB I would be pretty confident. But, not over Nnamdi though...........................LOL.

So seems like he is ahead of Brock but is now working through an injury.

Hopefully this doesn't lose him the job.

So the word on the street is Namdi is now the 3rd CB. Do you guys believe there was ever really a competition in the first place? I'm always a little skeptical. Fangio was kinding of talking Namdi down in the beginning and now after a few weeks he's the week 1 starter.

Well, he is not a starter technically unless GB starts out in a three WR package.

However, I certainly think it was a legit competition because Brock has been that good. Nnamdi had to EARN the spot and maybe Fangio was just trying to give him some extra motivation. Brock has done nothing to lose the competition, but Nnamdi has just flat out been a bit better. Feeling MUCH better about Brock if we ever have to use him.

It's amazing to me that we were screaming for Nnamdi to be our #1 CB, and now he's squeezing in as our #3.
