Top Flight Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think Owens or Jackson.....Jackson because he is tall and kinda speedy or Owens because he is quick and has agility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymadd Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The starters should be Jackson and Owens, Check out the sig for validation playa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewcrew Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm thinking Grimes, or possibly Hutchinson, to start the season and Owens in spurts until he get's up to speed. From what I've heard they like Jackson at NB, which they consider a starting position, so he will likely take most of his snaps there.

skynyrd04 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Im suprised more people aren't going with Jackson. The guy had a solid rookie year, I think he deserves a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I would start Chevis opposite Houston due to him having some game experience and that this is his second year in the system.I would say Grimes, but after seeing him get beat up in that Carolina game last year...My long term hopeful would be Owens. He's our other starter of the future at CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 We don't need to start a rookie unless its 100% necessary or Owens is that good. He has time to get up to speed. Our front 7 is so improved and Jackson and Grimes can handle the load on the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Diesel Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Whomever plays the best in pre-season.I'm always surprised Grimes isn't mention more on the boards, I thought he played pretty solid considering we had a non-existent pass rush (outside of Abe).I doubt Owens will be ready yet; however, we will see.For now, I say Grimes.

sumslap Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 and Chris Owensi say von then chevis then owens then when or if jackson out plays von then swap them remember our defense plays zone mostly von is a vet might get a few pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossFALCON™ Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 i think they want to keep jackson in the slot otherwise i'd say him. i'd like hutch or owens to get the #1 spot though. i'm sorry i like grimes, i just don't think he has the size or quite the talent to be a #1 corner for us. i went back and re-watched the zona game from 07 that everyone was ranting and raving about and he got eaten alive that game. yeah it was fitz and boldin but everytime zona needed a first they looked his way. his 11 tackle stat was a product of him making so many tackles from giving up so many catches.idk, i think he's a preseason warrior. if he proves me wrong, wins the 1 and performs well, great i'll take it all back but he worries me. i'm going to root for the guy regardless though.

KingOfCleveland21 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think Owens or Jackson.....Jackson because he is tall and kinda speedy or Owens because he is quick and has agility.I Think Jackson Should get the nod opposite Houston, just the thought of Grimes starting makes me cringe.

I can't wait to see all our young corners duke it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigSmackDaddy Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm hoping for Jackson to start opposite Houston and if Houston can't learn to turn his head Owens takes his spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Diesel Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Do you guys really see us starting 3 rookies on defense? 2 rookies in the defensive backfield? (Moore AND Owens)Doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
