Strong Safety

Bowen I think is going to be alright! Against Miami he looked better. I still think he is going to have a good year!

If we blitz then Bowen will be victimized but Willims willbench him quick i'm not worried i trust our assistant head coach, Joe gibbs is coming back like Makaveli the don

I don't know what games some of you were watching last year, but Matt Bowen was horrible. Let me say it again, louder this time:

MATT BOWEN WAS HORRIBLE.

He was burned by the official has-been and totally overrated WR of the NFL known as Keyshawn Johnson against the Bucs last year.

Also, go back and look at the Miami game last season. He took a terrible angle on the long TD pass in the Dolphins' first drive, and got completely turned around when he had a clear path on Ricky Williams on another TD run. Bowen was victimized early and often last year. If he was worth anything, the Packers would never have let him go.

Reluctantly, I'll give Bowen another chance in his natural position under a new coordinator, but so far, I haven't seen anything from Bozo to make me believe he'll be any better this year.

Maybe he'll step up now playing in his "natural" position.

I hope so, nobody wants to see Matt Bowen succeed more than me, but I think a position change is not the magic answer. Both safety positions require a large amount of smart play (playing in control) that Matt Bowen has not shown yet. He is plenty physical for the SS position and his size is perfect, but he seems to choke in games. He plays well in practice, but the excitement of real games makes him make bad decisions. His big hits and good tackling in practice is not translating into the real games.

I agree, Bowen has to be replaced, with either Lott or Franz, and if they dont do so well, draft a SS next year sometime. Madieu Williams would have been nice this year.

Bowen is not a great player, but you can't have "star" players at every position. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with going back to SS, and having a new QUALITY coach. A lot of his issues can be remedied through coaching, and if it doesn't work, we have the youg Lott and Franz to step up and prove themselves. I think Bowen will be fine.

Skins, we're not asking for a star. We're asking for someone that fullfills their duties.

And he didn't do that very well either! :nono:

he doesnt need to be a playmaker, which he is trying to be, and failing miserably, he just needs to be where hes supposed to and hell be ok
