Unfortunately I think there will be at least minor injuries that will make this easier to flush out, but assuming full health it obviously seems like there’s almost too many talented corners to get them all on the field.
Revis is out there obviously, and I think the Kyle Arrington is just about set in stone in the slot. While I think Logan Ryan can play every position in the secondary, I like how Arrington matches up on guys in the slot a little bit better. Just look at what Arrington did against Welker in two games – 8 catches for 69 yards total. That’s usually a sub-par single game for Welker.
So I think what we have to prepare for is for the secondary to be a matchup defense. Maybe you see Browner on the bigger outside receivers one week, the next you see Dennard a bit more on a smaller shiftier guy. Or maybe it’s Ryan. It really could change week to week.
If everyone’s healthy I don’t think we can just pencil in anyone outside of Revis and Arrington. It could be a legitimate rotation that is unpredictable for the opposition. Browner certainly has his strengths, but he also has some weaknesses that could be protected with Dennard and Ryan in certain matchups.
One thing to watch will be how much play Dennard and Ryan get in the slot during camp. You have to have a second slot guy for sure, but Dennard has been exclusively outside in his two years even though he seems to have good size and tenacity to play in the slot.
