Bubba Bean's Beans Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Important distinction: The nickel CB and the CB covering WRs in the slot don't have to be the same. All nickel corner means is that he's the #3 CB who typically comes onto the field when the offense goes 3 WR. The defense can put that guy wherever they want, of course. He doesn't have to play in the inside. In fact, I suspect when Owens comes onto the field, he'll go to RCB and Robinson will go to the slot. That's the way they've been practicing it for weeks, right? That's also the way we played the end of the Chiefs game once Grimes left.

Karst41 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 He's got some fight in him and knows this is his shot.I hope that is the case, I am just concerned due to what he hasnot shown us over the past 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl927 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Smitty just announced that Owens Will be the nickel corner against peyton No, you heard it wrong.He said Owens wasn't worth a nickel and would soon be on a corner with Sean Payton.

falconsfreak27 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Chris Owens is that guy on the hockey team that spends most of his time in the penalty box. If I had my say.....Give the guy a chance this Monday. But if he screws up like we think he will.Cut his butt and let's go after a vet.He can hit hard though. Just a little undersized and hotheaded.

Karst41 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 There are a few ways to view Owens Actions.Lets first consider the consideration that he didnot instigate this little school yard sissy fight and wasacting in self defense.That is a good argument and probably one that Goddell will buy intoand only fine him $5kWe can also look at this as an act of False Bravado.Knowing that his mates were around hime and he had his helmet on,Little Chrissy Poo lashes out with a fist.But the most inflamatory explanation is a player becoming unglued.In any compettitive sport, if your opponent has emotional out burst, heis pretty much done for the day, Linemen and linebackers excluded.Remember that we are talking about throwing a punch, notpushing and shoving.The analogy of the Hockey Player in the penalty box is perfect.

Brehus Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Chris Owens is a scrub. He should never be allowed to do anything other than play special teams, because he is going to be nothing but a big liability in the secondary.I hope he proves me wrong this season, but I seriously doubt he will.

putnam6 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 In all fairness, I was EXTREMELY high on him as a rookie. If he can just get back to that form...I know I was too, Nolan's not gonna leave him on an island I think he steps up, Front Seven needs to get on Manning all night.

Karst41 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I think you're going to be surprised.The honest truth to this is that Owens needs some consistant playing time.There is no doubt in my mind that it will take him a few weeks to start ramping up his game.Grimes was the same way.He just needed playing time.So after a few weeks of play if Owens is not showing significant improvmentthen we will be forced to take a look at Terrence.Nolans job is to keep a fire lit under these guys to ramp up.
