Too Bad Bigby Wasn't Playing on Monday

[Joemailman]

you guys are all a bunch of Salomi kings.

We lose the PHI game with Bigby starting. Period. Vick would have made love to, then electrocuted and drowned, then eaten Bigby's theoretical babies without the benefit of a reach-around.

So, are you saying Burnett is better?

I'm saying that Bigby has a lot of limitations that a lot of you like to overlook in favor of a fictional account of how hard he hits. His weakness would have been a poor match against what Vick was doing to us.

Burnett's main weakness now is inexperience. I haven't seen the same glaring physical and mental limitations in him that I've seen far too often in Bigby. Maybe time will expose him as being worse than Bigby, if that's possible, but as of right now, I know I'm cursing at the TV using Burnett's name far less than I was using Bigby's name the past few seasons, when the turd could manage to gimp onto the field, anyway.

So to answer your question: I think Burnett is a shade better than Bigby (assuming Bigby could actually play, which he can't) right now, but that's based on pretty limited observation thus far. I feel the team is better, that the CB's and LB's are freer to play their own game without having to compensate for Bigby's weaknesses.

I basically agree. Burnett is better in coverage right now than Bigby ever was.

So here's the depth chart until the Savior and Harris return...

FS - Collins, Martin
SS - Peprah, Bush

CB - Woodson, Shields, Lee
CB - Williams, Bush, Underwood

I thought this was interesting.

For those curious: CB Brandon Underwood is currently last on the depth chart behind Pat Lee, #Packers cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt said today.

I assumed Lee and Peprah would be gone, but obviously Burnett will be IR'd. That makes Underwood susceptible to being replaced by Harris at this point.
