The dude hasn't really produced much in the NFL at all.

I'm not sure what Ryan would see in him.

The saints like smart football DBs with high IQs. Morris Clairborne is a genuine jackass with a very poor IQ. 6 on his wonderlic and then told everyone out there he didn't care cause he'd make more money than all of us. Now he is a NFL bust.

He didnt this past year. But thats because they switched schemes. And the entire Dallas D suffered.

Claiborne is pretty solid in man to man coverage. Thats what he is best at. And was solid his rookie year at it.

It just shows what a horrible fire and hire Jones did. The Cowboys went out and paid top $ for Brandon Carr and drafted Claiborne top 10 overall. And the rest of that D was built for a 3-4 man scheme. Then he fires Ryan and hires Kiffin. Who runs a 4-3 tampa 2 scheme, which the team isnt built for. They wasted a lot of $$$ on Carr and a top 10 pick on Claiborne. Those guys are man to man CBs, not zone.

And blues you are right. Man to man is a simpler scheme mentally, but harder physically. While zone is more complex mentally, but not as hard as man to man.

But if its a 3rd/4th round for Mo, Im in. And Ryan drafted him for Dallas and knows what kind of player he is. If we go after him, its because Ryan has faith in Claiborne. If Ryan does, I do too.

Ryan basically hand picked him like 8th overall. I think if you get him back to press man coverage, he'll succeed. I would love to see Mo come home. He wouldn't even need to be the #1 guy.
