I hate to say this, but I think Seattle outplayed us on this one. Their eye for evaluating talent seems to be absolutely fantastic -- perhaps even surpassing ours.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Sorry if this has been discussed already... I hate these mega-threads that the Webzone has.
I agree, for a 4 year old, his play has been outsanding. LOL. Just play'n.
It really depends on the types of schemes played...like Baalke says, how they fit into our system. There is no doubt in my mind, Baalke wants MUCH more physical play at the CB position. We got bullied and beat up all playoffs at the LOS and esp in the jump ball circumstances. We lost all but one of these battles. But we don't have Sherman & Browner. We have a short Rogers and Brown...two small, technique CB's.
If Nnamdi wins the battle over Rogers we may see a Nnamdi & Culliver at the CB position playing MUCH more physical in press this year. Then we can have our "Winfield" play the slot with Brown or Rogers. Winfield will not play on the outside. Where is he going to play? When? How much? Who would you rather have? Winfield in the slot or Brown/Rogers?
So, if it plays out like it should, we get a VERY motivated full time CB that fits our scheme better while Winfield enjoys the ride on the bench while watching Sherman and Browner play full time snaps.
