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

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
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.

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
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.

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
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.

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...

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
Josh Wilson started to come on towards the end of the year, and looked like he had grasped hold of the defense.

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
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.

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
According to Raheem Morris, Kevin Barnes is having a strong camp. Let's hope it translates on the field during games.

Re: Secondary a Primary Concern
he also stated that Barnes is MUCH better playing outside than playing the nickel like he was last year . . . hopefully that is true as it would be nice if Barnes can be at least adequate . . .
