Josh Wilson is our best corner, wouldn't you think? I realize that there's a difference in competition faced because the defensive coaches have been hesitant to leave Wilson on an island with the opponents top receivers, but when given the opportunity, Wilson hasn't done any worse and actually has a couple of key pass breakups.

I realize that Josh Wilson doesn't solve the cornerback situation all by himself and he isn't Carlos Rogers, but if you are going to match-up with the opponent, he's the best cover guy on the roster, correct?

I'm actually excited to see more of Byron Westbrook on defense. I know he's made his mark on special teams, but he's a surprisingly good cover guy in limited reps. And he tackles well. I'm not expecting him to be the next Champ Bailey, but Westbrook has earned his reps.
