I agree, if Amerson can not hold down a starting CB position due to his poor play, There is no way he can handle the more difficult slot CB role.

I see it this way in base 3-4 or 4-3;
Cullver #1 CB
Breeland #2CB

In the nickle, if Hall is healthy and back to old self, I see Breeland and Hall outside CB and Culliver in slot. Culliver is now our best cover corner although Breeland is impressing more and more.

This is a long shot, but Amerson should get a look at FS. I know that sounds crazy, but 6'1' and 200 pounds, he has the size, youth and athletic skills. In college he had a good amount of int's, but as soon as everyone discovered he would bite on the double move, receivers have had him off balance ever since. He lost his edge. Amerson can not consistently cover NFL caliber WR's in man form the line of scrimmage.
By moving him to FS it would take him away from playing man on a WR. That difficult task would now be Culliver and Breeland's. Amerson is now over the top waiting, he would go back to being a ball hawk, which he has done pretty well in the past. This might work. Devin McCourty was a CB moved to FS.
