Where The Roster Stands: Cornerback

Weren’t both Dante Wesley and Jonathan Hefney converted to safety earlier this year? Have either of them been practicing or playing at CB this pre-season? Are either of them likely to make a move back to their natural position now that Louis Delmas is healthy and Amari Spievey has converted to safety?

Unrelated question: What position has Korey Bosworth been playing that last couple weeks? I’ve seen him listed as both a DE and an OLB. I suppose all of these questions could have been answered if I had paid closer attention toward the end of the last few pre-season games, but my attention tends to fade once the scrubs are subbed in.

The way things have been I wouldn’t be shocked if Dre Bly was starting.

houston, wade, bly, berry whether berry is coming off of an injury. hes stronger faster and just flat out better than wesley a.k.a coaches pet. then spievey and delmas in the backfield

And we all know the old saying: You can polish a turd, but it’s still a piece of shit.

/pessimism

Seriously though… why didn’t we end up with Josh Wilson? I’m still scratching my head over that one.

Also, has anyone heard of any potential CB’s that may be available on said waiver wire that would be worth signing? I know it’s doubtful, but you never know.

I want to see what this kid can do. I hope that he comes to play like are new found safety Phillips. I would love to see Detroit make a trade for Morgan Trent, i think this kid is going to be a stud hopefully for us and not the Bengals who are deep at the corner position.

Houston is the starter. Something I noticed in the Cleveland game and forgot to mention. How often did you hear his name called? Yeah not often, and that is a good thing for a corner for the most part :) Houston might not have great ball skills but he can cover.

Wade is in the same boat as Houston in my book. Though the injury has set him back some I think he will be our #2 easily.

Bly will be the Nickle. He does not have the wheels he once had but he is a good guy to be a zone, roamer type. He still has excellent ball skills.

Wesley will take a corner spot, he is a special teams ace and I have been impressed with his coverage skills. He plays some corner and safety but he is not someone you want on the field doing that, at all.

I agree on Berry going to the practice squad. Though he showed some promise the injury has set him back a lot. I just don’t see how he could be ready at this point but you never know, if they have an extra spot on the roster open he might sneak in.

King will probably make the roster and I hate it. He is an average backup nickle that has been around long enough to prove that he is not going to ever amount to anything. Yet the coaching staff keeps him around because he is their bum boy.

I like Pratt to make the final spot. I hope he does but who knows, all just guesses at this point. I also liked what I saw of rushing. I guess we will all learn more against Buffalo about those bottom end spots.

(takes in a deep breath)

We need improvement.

I really hope Aaron Berry Makes the team. Every Post I hear about him is good and he’s a pure Corner We shouldn’t let the oppurtinity of having some1 snatch him from us happen

Hip deep in a pile of poo……

I just hope Chris Houston doesn’t make many errors or have a lot of penalties this year. If he does I wouldn’t be suprised if Bly ends up starting at some point in the year.
