(many of us weighed in after the trade, many local sports people didnt buy it).
from rex ryan:
"We'll have to see what they do schematically. Generally if it's just straight man coverage you'll probably go away from him," Ryan said. "They're very multiple with what they do defensively, so we'll just have to see how they're playing and we'll see if coverage or whatever dictates that you go there."
i would say so if de coords want to go away from him in man.

Good would be gravy. As long as he's not as bad as Arrington we've made progress.

Lol, it's Sanchez, so even if he tries to throw it away from Talib...it might still go right to him...in fact it might be more effective to tell him to try to throw it right to Talib!

he has been out of football for a month and is in a new system, he is good because he moves McCourty to safety and Arington to the bench

He's automatically btter than anyone we have. I don't know whethr that's good or bad but he's a definite improvement.

In both Dennard and Talib you are discussing two players that are basically rookies in this system. I like the way Talib plays in man, he can be physical when he needs to be and it seems that many WRs aren't getting much YAC. against Talib so far. The big question might be what to do with Chung in the next post-season.

Talib and Dennard .....best pair we've had in years.
DMC to safety and Arrington to the bench is also positive development.
Did you see DMC break up that long pass down the sideline? I dont' recall anything like that over the last couple years.

He is good, he's been good his whole career. He hadn't played in a while and was rusty and a little out of condition. He will get better . With Dennard back there we should be decent at corner . Much better than last year and the first half of this season.
