I imagine we'll see a few examples of "communication errors" leading to opponent touchdowns, as well as the occasional "bad angle" missed tackles.

One just hopes not at inopportune times.

We're going to lose some athleticism. My question is are our backup corners better than our backup safeties. Could Woodson be moved to safety?

Thats a good idea if House is healthy. But imo both Peprah and MD Jennings are solid.

I agree with your assessment of Collins. That said, there have been plenty of examples where his raw speed allowed him to occasionally be out of position. Collins can recover; if Pep is out of position, he probably can't.

Speculating on your question, my biggest concern would be moving Woodson out of his "rover" role. Having him as predominantly a slot-corner, or at least moving him around based on matchups, gives the defense a lot of freedom. Capers has said as much several times. With a healthy Tramon and Woodson hypothetically going to safety, that leaves Bush likely making up Woodson's old role with Shields playing #2 corner. It sounds interesting, I'll tell you that. Bush has had some success blitzing from the slot -- but I don't like him at all playing man to man against a Welker-esque receiver.

I guess the easiest way to answer the question is with another question: would the benefit of having Woodson as a roaming safety be offset by the potential loss of freedom the scheme gets from his current job description?
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

The question in that situation is who would you rather see on the field, Bush or Peprah?

IMO its Peprah.

In addition to that, moving Woodson weakens two position, subing in Peprah only weakens one position.

This is awful. For those of you who haven't seen the replay, the ball carrier hurtled Collins and his butt hit the top of Collins' helmet, jamming his neck. It didn't look that bad in slow motion, but at full speed it must've been quite a jolt to the neck.

The real question now is not whether Charlie Peprah can step up. It's whether Morgan Burnett can step up. As evad suggests, I think the logical thing to do is put Burnett in Collins' role and Peprah in the strong safety role where he played quite well last season. Burnett has good speed and has played well so far this year. He looks like he can be a playmaker. The problem is that he is bound to make more mistakes than Collins did.

I am not really concerned with our starting pair in Burnett and Peprah.. it is the depth thereafter if pressed into duty.

The Packers had depth at the position in camp.. this is where I hope we have a player or two step up if called upon. MD Jennings just seems light to play the spot, like he needs a year in the weight room and some added bulk.. we shall see.

I think moving Woodson is premature at this point..

According to this, he does NOT have stenosis. So that's good. VERY good. Still, I don't like how this is playing out. Hope he can play again.
