Secondary a Primary Concern

^ Yeah, I've heard folks knock Wilson but IMO he's one of our better FA pickups in recent years.

I think his play really came together during the latter half of the season. And I agree, he has been a very good pickup.

I think he's probably our most consistent cornerback. Definitely not one of those FA pickups we've regretted. Hopefully he stays consistent this year. That was a really good read, thanks for posting.

Great read. Nice insight into how the position is played at this level.

I like Wilson. I think he is an excellent No.2 corner (like Smoot was in his prime). I just don't see him as a guy who can take on the better WR's in the game by himself. Granted, not a lot of CB's can. I am glad we got him but, to me, he's just a piece - a good piece - of the whole. If we could find another like him, I would be happy. It would be better if we could find one of those CB's who is truly a match-up guy ...

along with a stand-out RT, a ball-hawking safety, a Shady McCoy type running back and a game-breaking WR.

Sorry, I digress.

A LOT of Ravens fans in my office were very sad to see him go and thought Washington got a steal. If he shines this year I will agree with them, so far he has been meh to me.

Before we all get too doom and gloom here, perhaps we should remember that the Pats and Giants both suffered from some poor secondary play last year yet they played in the big dance. I know that this is not simple are there are many factors in play regarding this. But the point remains that a problematic secondary can be overcome.

Here, here let the wisdom of the Lotus be heard. Just as some of us have said RGIII and the WRs can compensate for struggles across the oline, a defensive front seven can compensate for a struggling secondary. I thought of the Giants but the Pats are a good example as well.

And Morris' coaching is a major positive for the secondary. He will find ways to cover up his group's weakness, the question is to what extent...

Josh Wilson started to come on towards the end of the year, and looked like he had grasped hold of the defense.

Merriweather looked like trash on Saturday. So many dropped balls in the INT drills, got burnt on coverage drills. Apparently, he plays defense like he drives a car.


Who is #30 in the secondary now? Not listed on the online roster but looked decent.

Tanard Jackson looked great from what I saw. He's going to start for us I predict.

Hammered?

Who is usually lined up opposite Wilson when Hall is in the slot?

Do you mean in camp?
