    I actually have heard a conversation on this some time ago on ESPN. They thought that in the future, the D changes may include more S's playing bump and run the first 5-10 yards cause they are usually more physical and just bigger than DB's and this would be better at throwing the Wr's timing off. They than said that the pure Db's would be sitting back in coverage a tad and with their fluidity as athletes, they than could run with the Wr's. Bigger, more physical players up front, faster, more fluid players in back.
    That is similar to what I would suggest we do with Owens/Moss.

    Don't put either Woodson or Harris on those guys...you tell Rouse to shadow that guy prior to the snap and rough him up at the LOS. You tell the safeties that whichever side of the field that WR is on at the snap, the safety on that side has over the top coverage...so either Collins or Bigby.

    Harris and Woodson then shut down whichever other 2 WR/TEs attempt to take advantage of the double team on Owens.
    My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?

      I'd love to see some safety come up, time the snap and level the WR.

        It's not always that easy getting a bump on a WR. Some WRs are actually very good against bump coverage. You'd give up completions all day. Of course, it might not a bad idea on 3rd and long.

          3rd and long was when I was referencing. You'd get burned otherwise.

            It is much easier if the guy knows he has help over the top.

              Problem is, if the WR gets off the line, all it takes is one pump fake and an overaggressive safety and it's 6 pts the other way.
