I prefer Z. Bowman

But that's just me.. Fewell knows best...
Can't play Bowman

coaches above all else value their schemes. Less talented players with better knowledge of scheme, gets the nod.
shouldn't he have been

Or perhaps Bowman has no experience in the slot and McBride, as per this article, had already been studying and doing his HW on the nickel CB spot so he's most suited to play there right now?

I like Bowman on the outside and if god forbid Prince or DRC go down, to me, that's the guy.. but it's entirely possible that McBride has a leg up on him in this role.
McBride plays further off the receiver than Bowman

so, of course, that valued attribute puts McBride far ahead of Bowman.

I have to agree with your guess. Sounds right to me.
I've never like McBride though. Hope he plays at least average.

What does this even mean? He plays where the coverage calls for him to play. It's not a personal attribute of Trumaine McBride to play further off a WR than Zack Bowman does. So much stupid..

And vax, McBride actually played very well for us last year. He was a pleasant surprise. I think he can do alright in this role.
seriously, did anyone actually watch McBride play last year?

Maybe it was a fluke, but he was very good.

talked about the pros and cons of each CB playing the slot in this article...including Bowman. (He hasn't really played the position either).

Yeah, I like McBride.

He was pretty good last year. Watch the youtube video at the link and you'll see.

played good last year. Injuries stink but DB might be the only area in the team that we could "afford" an injury.

Odd statement to make. He played very well last year. He's not Deion Sanders but he can play. Do you even watch the games?
Oh well

The secondary is a mess. Perhaps with McBride in there, things will pick up a bit. All I know is whatever the coaches had planned for 2014 - so far - none of it has worked.

0-2

Can't get any worse to this point.
The stupid one is you

you did not know I was making a joke? C'mon, man, get your head out of your ass. Ok, maybe it was a stupid joke.
Sorry, man.

There are posts like yours all over the board these days that are actually serious. I honestly couldn't tell if it was real or not.
No worries

Let's forget it.
