Can somebody please explain the hatred towards Bobby McCain? I thought he played quite well. Fitzpatrick was elite last year in the slot according to PFF so he’s set there or wherever he’s needed.
 
I like Bobby a lot and mentioned in a thread earlier in camp that I think he can grow into the Safety role and be Miami’s version of Patrick Chung (hopefully without the cocaine).

There’s certainly been some growing pains for Bobby but what I saw last night only reinforced my opinion.
 
This entire defense is going to be MUCH better than people expect, and Bobby will be a big part of that.
 
We are continuing to see how hard it is to hide Bobby McCain in coverage when teams get into the red zone. He's going to be found by big tight ends, and he's going to be found by speedy receivers who don't think he can make up for any mis-steps with his speed or length (neither of which he possesses).

And we still haven't seen him be tested by the ball getting out into the open and him having a lot of green to cover to close down the angles and limit the damage.

Will we likely use Minkah to disguise who is covering who in the red zone?
 
I just don't see Bobby McCain being a good safety long term. He needs to go back to being a slot cornerback and move Fitzpatrick to free safety full time.

It's not that easy. In a condensed space like the red zone, you can't hide players. And disguises only last until the ball is snapped.

With that being said isn't he still a batter option than Rashaad or TJ? Is there a better option on the roster?

That's not the plan. You might as well get used to the idea of Minkah moving around.

Ya moving Fitzpatrick to FS and moving McCain back to slot cornerback.

This is exactly what we talked about previously - OC's are going to find that matchup especially in the redzone and he got smoked on the TD from Foles to Westbrook.

Thing is, he played it correctly in terms of technique. Stayed square to aggressively play the slant first/react to the corner. He just couldn't get there.
