  • Woodson

    Doesn't look like Charles can even cover tight ends anymore. People talk about moving Woodson to safety next year, but is it possible that CM is nearing end of his career?

    Probably it is on pessimistic side to think he his done, he still is opportunistic playmaker.

    Collins was so damn fast. Speed helps a lot at safety in todays nfl, no more chuck cecils back there.

    Maybe CM will come on strong in playoffs.

    CWood has more than enough speed to play safety and leads the league in INT, he still has 2-3 years left in him. While he is not the cover corner he once was I think the guy can still cover TE and most WRs, just not the speed demons.

      Covering Gates isn't just covering a "tight end". Gates is a match up problem for every team in the NFL. I don't see Revis taking on the task of covering guys like Gates and Finely.

            Chuck got called for a pass interference call when Gates stopped on a route and Charles was tracking the ball in flight trying to make a play. So for at least one play, Charles was covering Gates. In fact, I think that was the adjustment Capers made once Gates started making Bishop look silly.
            No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                And Revis could easily take on Gates and Finley.

                  Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

                        Revis would get destroyed by either Gates or Finley. Only way he won't get beat is if he gets help from the refs like he did against the Dolphins.

                              Back to the original topic - Woodson can probably cover most TEs. But he's a certainly a liability at corner. The simple fact is that when he replaced Shields in the Superbowl, the Steelers immediately went after him, ad it was everything he could do just to stay in the play. It was a spectacular effort by a very veteran guy. But he's lost a step or two. Can he play safety? I suppose so. But the reality is that the "W" position is his, and he appears to be losing it. The Packers have let Bush run it, but it's not the same. For Woodson to run his "W" position, a lot of other guys have to play their position straight up, by the book. Maybe when Woodson is talking about the Packers scheming to get Matthews away from double teams, he's acknowledging that they need to put Matthews in the featured role of disrupting the opposing offense and put Woodson in a more traditional role where he's no longer doing the "W." It may be an acknowledgement by Woodson that he knows he's no longer that guy.
