Champ got embarrassed in the SB, just like we have been with PRob.. probably worse. It was not an injury- it's just age.

IMO we have to either snag another vet (unlikely), trade for someone (also unlikely), or experiment with other guys. Dixon or SJB.. Let's throw them into the fire. There's always a chance one of them could stick.

Otherwise, give White the job. He isn't the best but he is better than Robinson.. PRob has given up more bad plays in 2 games than White did all last season. We can just let KV be our nickel back, and rotate Bush deep.

I'm all for White starting...he can be as bad as Robinson...I guess. I don't see how it's possible to be worse.

That was my argument as well. The last significant game we saw with Champ Bailey he was obviously too old to play the game. I was hopeful he could play as a roaming NB (IF OUR 1/2 CBs COULD STICK WITH THEIR MAN).

Dixon maybe. SJB looked about like Robinson does during preseason.

I have no idea why RR hasn't done this yet this year. This is what he had to do last year due to injury, and it worked pretty well.

I honestly think this is coaching guys, apart from the abysmal performance by Robinson. Something is going on with the coaching staff, just can't tell exactly what it is.

I know using the preseason as an example is kind of bad, but Dixon looked like he had good instincts when it came to covering WRs and locating the ball in coverage, something PRob obviously lacks. SJB obviously has the measurables but lacks the proper execution to be a decent CB.

Also, it's worth noting that Khiry would probably not be playing if it wasn't for his preseason last year, so I believe trying out Dixon wouldn't be a bad idea considering his success during the preseason.
