Boys, we are in deep trouble if this is true(Sapp Vs Allen debate)

I'd be fine with ditching Sapp. Ness, Carroll, and Wilson can all probably play at the same level as him.
 
as old as Will is, and as injured as he is, he can make a good impact for us on defense. I was looking foward to him blitzing and being able to handle the boundry corner from time to time and the slot. Hope he can play.
 
im not sure anyone can polish a turd into a gem

We don't know how hard Benny Sapp has been training this offseason...

Thats like saying we dont know how commited Rosanne Barr is to her diet.. Sapp is a Sapp.. Thats the bottom line and if he is the best we have at that position.. Then yep, I believe we're in trouble...
 
Benny Sapp isn't that bad. And I don't think this qualifies as deep trouble. A little light in the secondary isn't exactly deep trouble. Obv it's not a good thing, but we don't exactly need to call the season off.
 
Sapp is who the opposite qb will be picking on they will exploit this weakness
Hopefully Nolan has some tricks up his sleeve
 
The title of this thread is a bit of Hyperbole. "Deep trouble?"
Yeah, I'd prefer Allen over Sapp too, but its not gonna make or break the season...
 
This is so irrelevant, Allen was on PUP last year we are returning the same defensive backfield with more experience. How does Will Allen impact anything? Another sky is falling nonsense.
 
Considering he is in line to play the exact same position he did last year when our defense was ranked 6th, I fail to see what the problem is...
 
Nickel corner is a tough job. Sapp is all right at it. The way some of you guys talk, it's like we never forced a punt in 2010. Just throw at Sapp and it's a first down. I remember us forcing a couple punts last year, right?
 
The Sapp hate comes from letting Wes Welker do some work on him in the slot. I got news for you, Welker does that to just about every nickel CB in the game. Sapp held his own, plays physical, plays special teams and can blitz the QB. Yea he has his ups and downs in coverage but he isn't a bad option for us as the nickel CB.

You wanna see somebody get beat like a drum . . . put Sean Smith in the nickel and see what happens.

Totally different. I'd take my chances with Smith in the slot over Sapp on the boundary

Exactly . . .Sapp isn't meant for the boundary . . . he can play it in a pinch, hopefully a short one, but as a slot/nickel CB, he has that skill set over most of our guys so he in that sense is still a valuable asset to this team . . .especially if Will Allen's knee is already sore after only a few days of practice. Of course I would love to upgrade him, but he isn't "as bad" of an option as people are making him out to be. It is a benefit going up against the likes of Davone Bess in practice every day as well.

Sean Smith in the slot . . . ugh. Nolan Carroll struggled mightily in the slot last year as well. If Will Allen can't go, Benny Sapp is our best option and like somebody else said, we still had the #6 defense in the league last year with him manning the slot. To be honest with you, he didn't play poorly last year . . . about what I expected, which is fine.
