Who's got it better than us? NOBODY!
Your division rivals all added very fast slot receives this offseason, Arizona Cardinals WR Ryan Swope, St. Louis Rams WR Tavon Austin and Seattle Seahawks WR Percy Harvin. I take it you're confident in CB Carlos Rogers' ability to run with those guys?"We're confident in the players that we have in our locker room."Do you kind of have to keep up with the Jones though. When you see a team is adding those players, do you then make a counter move at any point?"Once again, I think it's all how you look at this. We feel like the players that we added to this roster are going to improve the depth on this roster. They're going to improve the competition on this roster, and with no assurances to anyone. Everyone has to earn their job. This is a new year. So, everyone that was on the roster prior to the last three days, and all the ones coming in, they're going to have to earn their spot. There's no givens."Who do you see competing for that slot cornerback role besides Carlos Rogers? CB Perrish Cox? Would CB Nnamdi Asomugha as well?"Well, I think that, once again, the coaches can talk more about the scheme and everything else. But, there are other guys, [CB Chris] Cully's [Culliver] certainly capable of moving inside. [CB] Perrish [Cox] has played inside. [CB] Nnamdi's [Asomugha] played inside before. You always talk about matchups, are we manning up these guys, or are we playing zone and covering them in an umbrella type of situation. So, I think we've got to look at it a lot of different ways. And you take care of certain things with scheme more than just one-on-one matchups."Do you feel you have cornerbacks who can match up one on one with those receivers? I was just clarifying."No, that's not what I said. Do I feel that way? I feel our guys are very capable of playing football with the guys that are in this division, or across the National Football League. That's what I do believe, 100 percent believe that. But, what I said was it takes scheme sometimes to take care of different schemes that other people are throwing at you. No different than it does when they're playing against us and our personnel. This is a matchup league. It's a personnel matchup league. And you either do it with personnel, or you do it with scheme. Those are the two ways you take care of it."
