Who should the starting corners be vs Cincy

No matter who starts there must be a Safety helping towards AJ Green at all times

Nothing has changed, Mike Mitchell is still our starting FS so the following is still relevant:

Mike Mitchell (counting his stolen money) says: "Look for Safety help all you want. Y'all know I won't be there."

I'd pin my ears back and bring the house. Live or die by the blitz. I'd be better than our current 0 man rush, no pressure **** we are employing right now.

I'd start Cortez Allen and William Gay. My reasoning, Ike is done and has been since he was Tebowed. The FO thought that Cortez was the right choice over Keenan, then we decided to pay Cortez. They committed to Cortez. So why trot Ike (who's time is coming to an end) out there to get burned, when they can trot Cortez (who they believed was the future) out there and see what happens. It CAN'T be worse!!!

But I'm sure Tomlin will go with old-man veteran Ike.

At this point I'd have Ike take over at FS and sit Mitchell.

I think is time to put Cortez on the field, not necessary as a starter but if Taylor is close to done the more necessary will be to have Cortez improved for the next season
 
Beavis & Butthead. Reality is, who ever it is, just won't be good enough.




Salute the nation
 
We are stuck with Cortez and Mitchell for a few years, Cortez signed a 6 year deal, and Mitchell signed a 5 year deal, at minimal the FO will stick with them because if we cut eithier its way to much dead money close to 45 million, that's pointless.
if Cortez can't win the starting job next year he is up for a paycut, and I would re-sign McCain for 2 years, and draft a Cb @ SS early, Perhaps try Troy at FS next year.

Mccain play's good zone coverage but because of AJ's size and vertical asset he cant be asked to be on a island with AJ it has to be a big WR like Cortez or IKe with Will Allen or Blake over the top.
Gay should be fine with Sanu.
