Carlos Rodgers thinks he's a starter....

Carlos starts at LCB, Brown at RCB
Asomugha steps in as the RCB in the Nickle, Brown moves inside to cover the slot
This would keep Asomugha fresh, and also playing in his natural position on the right side.
Ive read Brown is our quickest CB, he seems well suited to cover those small slot guys

Though last year, they moved Carlos to the slot and put Culliver in at LCB

Culliver could drop to the 4th CB spot, but still be the primary backup and hier apparent to the LCB spot

Completely agree

So you trust Rogers more than Culliver... Yes Culliver did have some WTF plays in the SuperBowl, but a week before the playoffs Who would you of rather had covering the receiver on the game winning pass. I for one would have hoped to God it was Brown and if not Brown then Culliver...lets not let an inexperienced players first SuperBowl performance cloud our judgement.

Hmmm, pro bowler, vs unrested 3rd round project. Yeah, I'll take Rogers,

He'll start in the slot.

1. Rogers was not a pro bowler last year hence the regression.

2. Culliver allowed the lowest percentage of 1st downs and touchdowns over every other CB in THE NFL, he played at an all pro level..

3. While Rogers was routinely covering the slot... Culliver was consistently taking on teams # 1 receivers and dominating them.

He is not an untested third round project, he is a F-cking stud who had a bad game!

Bingo...the team needs to get him some counseling and educate him. On top of that, we need to get him some Adderall to help with his concentration when the ball is in the air. Wait...is this the SeAdderall forum?

Lol why don't we plan our starting lineup around OTA non-contact drills, and your basing your whole point on info reported from so called "pundits"...

And p.s. you don't know who is a scrub before they are giving an opportunity, Tom Brady was a "scrub" once too, and your right great cornerbacks don't EVER get beaten... Not even once.

Nice analysis, professor.

Wow, thought I was the only one who's been seeing/saying this for a while!

I circled back with Williamson for some final thoughts: "Rogers is a tough evaluation. He came in as a first-round pick. He is a first-round caliber tools guy: not small, long arms, pretty fluid, moves well. But he more or less never lived up to that in Washington. His first year with the Niners (2011) was his best as a pro, and not just for the six interceptions. I would bet he will never reach those six picks again. I felt like that first year in San Francisco on a very good defense with a good pass-rush, he was good. Last year, I thought he was an average NFL starting corner. I don't know the guy or know his motivation, but I wondered if he coasted a little bit. He can play the slot, and he benefits from a strong supporting cast. He will not be a top corner who you put on the opponent's best receiver every week. He is a good fit, but it wouldn't shock me if you're looking to replace him, too."

Sounds about right ^

He had a rough two weeks thats for sure. Unfortunately people will remember that and forget about the times where he shut down Calvin Johnson on a couple seam routes, or all the other jump balls that he typically knocked away.

Putting Nnamdis stats in there is useless because he wasnt benefitting from an amazing front seven like Rogers, Cully, and Brown were.
