Why can't McGee play free safety??

[Tatonka]

the guy was a free safety in college.. he is fast.. has good hands.. but they have moved him to CB..

so now, kevin thomas, who was showing alot of promise at the end of his rookie year in 2002, is bumped back to 4th string..

why not just keep McGee at his natural position.. free safety??

doesnt make any sense to me.

I don't care what position we have him at but we need him on the field. He is a big play maker for sure.

Wasn't Pucillo a center in college? I bet he'd be better than Teague! If not, we need to draft one. Put Teague somewhere else on the line, since he's more worried about the guy in front of him than he is snapping to the guy behind him.

kevin thomas was horrible last year...he could have been nicknamed toast...he should be lucky to be #4...

I originally thought we planned to use him at safety, but I believe he was thought to be a little on the small side by the old coaching staff - which hasn't changed much on D.

I agree....

McGee only played FS do to injuries and that was only for his senior year.I really don't care where he plays as long as he sees action. MyBills Pucillo did play center a few times but is a a natural guard.

Thomas had one good game 2 years ago (greenbay) and everyone thought he was the man. I wasn't convinced and he didn't look too good last year. I am not saying he couldn't be a decent player but I haven't seen enough of him (or Mcghee for that matter) to make me feel better about getting rid of AW.

[Tatonka]

well.. we obviously need to sign AW or a FA cb.. but mcgee should be in at FS.. then in nickle and dime situations, you bring in wire to be the FS and move mcgee back to cb or whatever.

[shelby]

Wire should be FS. Period.

But if you put Wire in at FS on passing defenses then how does that help us to create more turnovers?? If anything Reese has better hands than Wire.

your probably right... but mcgee has better hands than reese.. and is faster.. i dont get it.

[THATHURMANATOR]

If AW or another cb is signed it may not be a bad idea then.

[Tatonka]

i mean it is stupid to think that if you are a good cb that you should be very good at FS?

free safety is not responsible for run stuffing.. all he has to do is sit back and read the qb.. have the speed to get from side to side on the field.. so it would seem you would want the fastest guy with the best hands out there.. a guy with good insticts.

All Im saying is that if you move McGee to FS then be prepared for us to go for a CB on day 1 b.c we will need a new nickle or dime back. Thomas hasnt showed anything to me. Sidney wont cut it. Id be all for the move to FS for McGee question is whos gonna play CB then...I dont know if I like the idea of having 2 new CBs and a new FS in our defensive packages on a 3rd and 7.
