Strong Safety

[ChounsMan]

Bowens is way to aggressive & therefore blows his assignments & with a lack of great speed gets burned when the play goes outside.

I watched Bowens get beat, & beat badly. That's the reason the Packers let him sign elsewhere....

I'd give Lott the chance & use Bowens primarity on passing plays.

Hey, but what do I know...? :frusty:

Bowen is a much better run defender than pass defender. At strong he can be an extra LB and cover the less athletic tightends. We are in trouble when he gets matched against Shockey or a wideout. That's why Taylor plays Free we can bounce him around and let him play center field. Lott brings no value at the Strong position since he doesn't offer the physicallity that Williams is going to want in an aggressive defense. Taylor and Bowen start the year and I bet Franz evens gets a nod at STrong before Lott does.
