DownvoteDon Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 First, Owens has been downright respectable this season. But if he is not available, we are massively vulnerable at corner:Assante still has a bum shoulder. We have seen him leave the field on the first impact of a game. Dunte is coming off a concussion, one of several in his career. Players become more vulnerable the more they have. We have also seen DUNTE come off the field on the first impact of a game.It is not inconceivable, particularly the way Lynch runs, for Samuel to tear up his shoulder the first time he has to make a tackle, and for Robinson to get knocked out on HIS first hit. Obviously, I'm comfortable with McClain . . . but with Owens out, Franks would be in the slot. If they both go down, you have McClain and Franks as your corners, and you have to get really creative in the slot.Talk me down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadMoonRising Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Franks has been better in coverage than ever, which means he is mediocre.but nothing in Seattle should have your scared of their receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brehus Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) The only way I see that many people on defense getting hurt is if the offense isn't doing their job and leaving the defense on the field all day. If for some reason the offense doesn't show up then they don't deserve to win anyways. Edited January 9, 2013 by Brehus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I hope all CB stay healthy. I am ok with Franks at Safety but he was torched by good QB early in the season as CB. Hopefully we won't seem him at CB nor PR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
408Falcon Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Chris Owens straight out of SJSU (my school), will not be the difference in this game. Shouldnt make you nervous. if it is, you are thinking too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I want everyone healthy, but if Owens is the only guy not practicing on the team right now? I have trouble worrying about it. Id trade 10 Owens' being out for 1 Abe or 1 Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kane#7 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 We need him for STs.If he does rotate into corner he will be needed to tackle more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofEuphoria Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Down the road, against the 9ers or the Pack, i could see this as an issue.It shouldnt hurt us this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwood all the way! Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Chris Owens straight out of SJSU (my school), will not be the difference in this game. Shouldnt make you nervous. if it is, you are thinking too much!went to SJSU as well. Still there or graduated?
